In this flashing led lights circuit, the LDR or photoresistor is connected in such way that when the light intensity varies it will influence the flashing frequency and the brightness of the LEDs. T1, ...
Vactrols, or both an LED and a light depending resistor (LDR) in a light-tight housing, are found in analog music electronics circuits like audio compressors, voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs), ...
