Outcome

The objective of this lab was to create a successful circuit that used at least two inputs, including at least one sensor. Additionally, the aim of the lab was to introduce conditional statements and create different responses to those statements.

For this project specifically, I wanted to explore the use of light to transmit softer (or more intense) lighting. This is especially applicable when considering seasonal depression or the use of blue lights to help people be exposed to the right amount (or even type) of light at the right time. This project specifically focused on people being exposed to the right type of light at the right time, such as the case when someone is transitioning from a wake state to a sleep state. For example, as people prepare for bed, softer lights (and bluer lights) are often used so that their bodies can start to produce melatonin.

This circuit, when turned on via a switch, would turn 'blue' when there is less light being exposed to a photoresistor, which would indicate that it is night time and therefore time to be exposed to softer and bluer light. When more light was exposed to the photoresistor, more intense light would be emitted.
