DarkLight Sensor Using Transistor

The document describes two circuits using a light dependent resistor (LDR) and transistor that can automatically detect changes in light levels: 1) A dark sensor that turns on an LED when darkness reaches a threshold level set by a variable resistor. 2) A light sensor that turns on the LED when light reaches a threshold set by the variable resistor. Both circuits allow adjustment of sensitivity using the variable resistor to require more or less light/darkness to switch the LED.

Dark/Light sensor using transistor


Automatic dark detector senses darkness. As the light level decreases and LDR meets the maximum threshold resistance, the circuit automatically switches on the LED D1. Dark sensor with variable resistor:

A dark detector can be made using a variable resistor. T he sensitivity of the circuit can be adjusted with a variable resistor. High resistance-> more darkness to switch on the LED. Low resistance-> less darkness to switch on the LED. Automatic Light detector using variable resistor A light detector senses light. As the light level increases and LDR meets the lowest threshold resistance, the circuit automatically turns on the LED D1. We can adjust the sensitivity using the preset VR1-10K. LESS RESISTANCE(VR1)-> LESS DARKNESS T O SWIT CH OFF T HE LED HIGH RESISTANCE(VR1)-> MORE DARKNESS T O SWIT CH OFF T HE LED Just swap the resistor and LDR to convert a dark sensor to a light sensor
