Automatic Light Control System with Arduino LDR Sensor

Most places around cities, towns, highways and even estates are lit during dark hours or at night in most regions of the country. Manual control of these lights can prove to be difficult and at times inconvenient. One of the solutions that are most commonly used is timers, however, this approach can be quite limited in some time zones where the length of day varies throughout the year. Thus, a more prudent solution is needed.
