There are many Electronics projects which use LDRs as their main driver of the circuit. In the list below, we list the top 10 LDR-based Electronics Projects.
LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is a special type of resistor that works on the photoconductivity principle means that resistance changes according to the intensity of light.
The details about LDRs and their fundamentals are discussed in this article on What is LDR?
The list starts from below:
Automatic Curtain Operation Using LDR
It does the task of folding and unfolding the curtain as per the light intensity outside the window. It is an automatic process and the light intensity is sensed by LDR in the circuit.

LDR Plus GSM Based Security System
This project will teach us how to make a smart device that can notify us whenever any unauthorized person opens the safe box/drawer.

LDR-Based DC Motor Speed Control
A light-dependent resistor (LDR) whose resistance is inversely proportional to the intensity of light is often used as a sensor in electronic projects that involve the use of light. This LDR-based DC motor speed control project uses an LDR to control the speed of a DC motor.

Fan on/off Control by Light
This circuit lets you turn on/off a fan by just directing torchlight or other light toward its light-dependent resistor (LDR). The circuit is powered from a 5V power supply.

LED As Light Sensor
A simple circuit construction that uses a transparent red LED as the light sensor that switches on a white LED when the red LED is in dark.

Light Operated Internal Door Latch
Using this light-operated door latch circuit, you can close or open the door of your room remotely from your bed. You just have to focus the torchlight on the light-dependent resistor of the circuit, which you can install inside your room at a suitable position.

Door Guard
This door guard uses an operational amplifier µA741 and a light-dependent resistor (LDR). Operational amplifier µA741 is used as a sensitive voltage comparator.

Automatic Night Lamp With Morning Alarm
This automatic night lamp circuit turns on a night lamp when bedroom light is switched off. The lamp remains ‘on’ until the light sensor senses daylight in the morning.
