Save Electricity
Project Description
We are using LDR,IC NE555 and some resistances on a
PCB.

When darkness rises to a certain value above LDR then
sensor circuit gets activated and switch is ON and when there
is other source of light then switch gets OFF.
For High power switching one can connect Relay
(electromagnetic switch) at the output of pin 3 of I.C 555.
Needs no manual operation for switching ON and OFF.
