This is a circuit for sensing that takes advantage of the photo-voltaic voltage of an ordinary LED. This is the figure of the circuit.
The LED voltage is buffered by a junction FET transistor and then applied to the inverting input of an op-amp with a gain of about 20. This produces a change of about 5 volts at the output from darkness to bright light. The 100K potentiometer can be set so that the output is around 7 volts in darkness and falls to about 2 volts in bright light.
