Automatic Dusk light using LDR version 1


Dusk light using LDR
This is also an automatic dusk light, but this uses an LDR instead of a solar panel for project 2. this is a simple design, where you can use various power supplies (3-15v) instead of a battery, but you  can still use one. This light can be adjusted to when to turn on when dusk using the potentiometer (high resistance means turns on when really dark) (lower resistances means turns on when near dusk or at light dusk.

On the left is a picture of my circuit, but without a potentiometer because I have set the exact resistance for it to turn on in my area. This circuit is used inside as a hallway light.
