The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) checks the ambient light, and the PIR motion sensor detects movement. When both conditions are met, the 3W white LED illuminates gently-saving energy and providing soft, automatic illumination for elderly corridors or bathrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHow to read analog signals from an LDR and digital signals from a PIR sensor using Arduino Nano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControlling high-power LED brightness with a MOSFET as a switch (PWM dimming).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWiring sensors and actuators on a breadboard without soldering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding conditional logic in Arduino code to automate a real-world helper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArduino Nano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLDR (Light Dependent Resistor)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHC-SR501 PIR Motion Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3W White LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMOSFET IRF540N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10k?
