Photo cell control circuit:

[Avis McPherson]

Hi folks,

I would like to find a circuit to cotrol the starting and stopping of a
lighting generator in a vehicle compound.

It most be controlled by a photo cell, that would start a generator, at
nights and stop at the break of day, this circuit must be powered from a 12
volt battry source.

Thanks,
Richie.

How do you start the generator?
Is there a pair of contacts that if you short them and keep them
shorted, it'll keep running?
