This circuit shows how to use an ordinary LED as a light sensor. It makes use of the photovoltaic voltage developed across the LED when it is exposed to light. LEDs are cheaper than photodiodes and ...

Here is one simple circuit of a general-purpose white LED security light with Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion sensing mechanism. At the heart of the circuit is a PIR sensor module SB0061. SB0061 is a ...

Inspired by printed circuit boards, the building block of all electronics, a Dutch designer has created an LED-based light installation that draws upon the familiar etching pattern inside most devices ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on ...
