 Main Objective
 To build a LDR light or dark activated relay
switch circuit that can be implemented in real
world applications.
 Problem Statement

 In our daily life, we usually meet with the problem

where we want to switch on or off certain electronic
devices for a certain time period when the light
intensity is changes.
 We need some devices that will control the
electronic devices smartly by varying the light
intensity, thus a LDR light or dark activated relay
switch which required a light-dependent source
(LDR) as the input of the circuit that will varies
certain parameters in the circuit.
 Methodology

 Internet/website.
 Experiment.
 Results and Discussions

 The SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch can

be switched to mode A (connected to transistor
Q4 BC557) and mode B (connected to transistor
Q3 BC557).
 Considered the switch is in mode A.
 Considered the switch is in mode B.
 In both modes, the LDR can detect the light more
quickly when the value of the potentiometer is
smaller.
 mode A mode B

 We can observe that in mode A, the relay will switch

on in light condition while in mode B, the relay will
switch on in dark condition. Thus we can deduce that
switch in mode A is actually a light activated switch
while mode B is a dark activated switch. The SPDT
switch connects the relay to the collector of either
transistor to give us the light or dark switch choice.
 Applications

 The outside lighting on driveways and night.

 The security system. The normally close
output of relay is connected to a buzzer or
alarm.
 A light/dark activated relay switch can be
applied in the counters in the field of
manufacturing.
 Conclusion

 The objectives for this experiment achieved.

 Understand the operation of the circuit.
 Can implement this circuit design in various
real-life applications such as gate-controlling
switch, night lamp, security system and so on.
