    This circuit consists of a simple light-activated alarm using only six components. When light falls on the LDR, it turns on the SCR, which then powers the lamp. The lamp will remain on until the power is turned off or the reset button is pressed. The sensitivity can be adjusted using a potentiometer. A 6-volt lamp can be used without issues. The schematic diagram and component layout are shown in the figures. Various components like an LED, buzzer, or audio oscillator can replace the lamp.
