Abstract
A photoelectric control circuit that energizes a light bulb at a certain level of darkness and immediately records the total amount of light that results. A delay circuit prevents the new level of light from turning the bulb back off until a even greater amount of light is available. This method of operation provides full power control for a variety of lamps and bulbs without the degraded performance previously associated with reflected light from enclosures and nearby objects.
