The circuit shown in figure 1 is triggered when the light falling on the LDR is cut off.

     It can be used as a pass sensor or even to trigger an emergency lighting system.

We can make the assembly in a protoboard or terminal strip.

   For the strip version, the arrangement of the components is shown in figure 2.

To assemble, observe the position of the transistor and the arrangement of the relay terminals.

   The resistor is 1/8 W with any tolerance and the LDR of the common round type.
