Last night i destroyed everything in my kitchen to not turn on the light, and after that i decide to make this stupid motion night lamp.
It’s a simple RGB led lamp that power on when the room is dark and some motions are detected.
How it works?
It’s made using a Photoresistor and a Pyro sensor.
Photoresistor recognize if the light is on or off and the Pyro detect if there are some movements. If both condition are verified, RGB led start fading colours until motions stops or light is on.
Parts used:
- 3) RGB leds
- 3) 330ohm resistors
- 1) 10Kohm resistor
- 1) Photocell
- 1) Pyro sensor
- 1) Arduino (of course)

Before start coding, connect all the parts like the image upper.
RGB leds goes to Arduino digital pin 13, 12, 11. Anodes go to GND.
Photocell go to Arduino analog A0 pin.
Pyro go to Arduino digital 2 pin.
Ready?

My lamp is this… obv that is under construction!
cheers.
