K1002 Night Light Kit

K1002 Night Light Kit – LDR Light Sensor Project (Assembly Required)

The K1002 Night Light Kit introduces students to light-sensitive circuits using a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) to automatically switch on a LED in low light conditions. This hands-on project demonstrates how electronic systems respond to environmental changes and is ideal for beginner electronics learning.

Key Features

• Light-activated LED using LDR sensor
• Automatic switching based on ambient light levels
• Hands-on soldering kit for skill development
• Demonstrates real-world automation concepts
• Engaging and practical electronics project

What’s Included

• 1 × KS1002 PCB
• 1 × LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)
• 1 × LED
• Electronic components (resistors, transistor, trimpot.)
Note: Assembly required.
