Light Sensor module for Arduino (Advanced: analog)

This video shows you how to turn an AC light ON during the night using Light sensor and turn it OFF during the day. This code is to control light either with Digital and control the sensitivity with the potentiometer on the module. You can control light using analog value from pin A0 and set your own sensitivity. Make use you turn the potentiometer to the maximum value and set the digital=false.
