    In this video i will show how to make LDR Darkness Sensor Circuit
    Asimple science school college project.
    BY USING THIS CIRCUIT WE
    CAN TURN ON LIGHT IN
    DARKENESS
    & TURN OFF THE LIGHT IN BRIGHTNESS
    ITEM REQUIRED
    1) LDR-----1No. amzn.to/2rNr33i
    2) 50KOHM RESISTOR---------1No.
    3) 1KOHM RESISTOR---------1No.
    4) BC547 TRANSISTOR---------1No. amzn.to/2rNxpjm
    5) 9V BATTERY---------1No.

    I designed something similar to this and managed to get it published in a magazine. My idea I thought up was a "Digital Darkness/Light Measurer". It used a light dependent resistor and a 556 silicon chip, amongst other things, to measure the amount of light or darkness in a room on a scale of 0 to 9, on a digital display. It was published in the "Everyday Electronics" edition of April 1983. I was paid £12 for my work.

    My Uncle who is a radio mechanic made the same circuit in the 80s. He used a power transistor and cut it on the top to make an LDR and he installed the bulb outside in the street. The bulb would go on when the sun set and provide light to passerby at night time.

Current limit is 25mA Do you mind helping me how the construction is going to be like? For eg. how many more resistors do I need to add and what are the values for each resistor? Your help and response would be more appreciated!

    Hi I am not an expert in electronics/electricals, I need help on my solar lamp post. During daytime, it automatically switches off. But comes night, it doesn't turn on automatically. It comes with a remote control that I can switch on manually. What could be the problem? Can I rig the remote control and add a photoresistor LDR and put something to press and hold the ON button? Where can I connect the LDR in the circuit of the remote control? What is the specs of the LDR? The remote is powered by just 3v 2x1.5AAA battery.

If possible can you please provide some insight there.

    • @captwig
      @captwig 3 года назад

      Being the ldr a resistor itself, it will form a voltage divider when associated in series with a resistor. Less ambient light, higher will be the ldr resistance, so current will flow to the transistor.
