Overview
Light dependent resistors, LDRs or photoresistors are often used in circuits where it is necessary to detect the presence or the level of light. They can be described by a variety of names from light dependent resistor, LDR, photoresistor, or even photo cell, photocell or photoconductor.
Feature
Small volume
Fast response
Good spectrum characteristic

Applications
They have a very simple structure and they are low cost and rugged devices.They are widely used in many different items of electronic equipment including photographic light meters, fire or smoke alarms as well as burglar alarms, and they also find uses as lighting controls for street lamps.
