Would like help

[Fred]

Not knowing anything about electronics, I would like to know the name of
the small circuit to make a photocell turn a small bulb on when it gets
dark and off again when it gets light. I make a wooden night light but
the dang photocell works in reverse. Any info would be appreciated, and
also, where I might be able to purchase these circuits. Thanks, Fred

Fred--Try an Intermatic photocell module from Lowe's or Home Depot.


Three wires:

Black--120V ac line in

Red--120V to load

White--Neutral line and load.

Max about 1000W

On at dusk

Off at dawn

Bulletproof
