This is a light switch or light activated relay circuit. The ldr circuit diagram works like this.

Light Activated Switch Circuit Using Ldr Sensor
Ldr switch circuit diagram. The circuit of light detector is very simple and easy to build with very few components. This transformerless automatic light operated night light circuit is very simple and easy. Base b is connected junction point of the 50k resistor ldr. The circuit is based on a voltage comparator circuit wired around ic 1the non inverting in put of ic1 is given with a reference voltage of 6v using resistors r3 and r4. This is the circuit diagram of a light activated switch based on national semiconductors comparator ic lm 311 and a ldr. It automatically switches on lights when the light goes below the visible region of our eyes.
It is a simple and powerful concept which uses transistor bc 547 npn as a switch to switch on and off the led light automatically. Light detector sensor circuit diagram. Ldr switch circuit diagrams. As you can see in the ldr circuit diagram it can be a distinguished as two smaller circuits. Therefore no current will go from the collector to the emitter of the transistor. Automatic night bulb switch.
The lm358 ic has 8 pins and can have supply voltages ranging from 3 32 volts. A voltage divider made using ldr ldr1 and a potentiometer rv1 b output led d1 in our switching circuit made using a. Ldr darkness circuit diagram darkness circuit using the comparator this circuit uses directly 220v ac. This is ldr circuit for automatic night light operated by light sensor ldr light dependent resistor. In day bulb is automatic switch off and at night automatic switch on. This makes the voltage at the base of the transistor too low to turn the transistor on.
When its dark the ldr has high resistance. How the ldr circuit diagram works. It has two internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers. Transistor with ldr circuit diagram building a simple light detecting circuit is very easy. So careful when testing. Adjust vr1 for light sensitive.
Normally the resistance of an ldr is very high sometimes as high as 1000 000 ohms but when they are illuminated with light resistance drops dramatically. Light activated switch circuit design. A simple light activated switch description. It does not need special components and requires only a low current torch bulb 4 15 v dry cells a bc548 transistor and an orp12 ldr. The relay on when ldr uncoverd and relay off when ldr covered. The light activated switch circuit mainly consists of two components.
The comparator ic lm358 and the ldr.
