Automatic Dark switch / photocell

This circuit is an Automatic Dark switch or photocell using a solar panel.

It can switch ON the light bulb at night and turns it OFF at day time automatically.

You have to connect it across the garden switch.

NOTE: The solar panel here used just to activate the relay, not to produce the high voltage for the light bulb, you need an external 110/220V source (grid power).
