Controlling a Relay based on CDS Cell status..

A while back, someone had posted a link to a site that had assorted
schematics on it - which I can no longer locate.. I was looking for a
schematic for a small circuit, which will turn a relay/LED/transistor on or
off depending on the state of a CDS cell. I need to be able to turn on a fan
depending on the lighting conditions in a room - so this should be a very
simple circuit (if you happen to have it!).

In advance, thanks.

    Hey John!

    I noticed no one has answered your question yet....

    Go to Radio Shack and get the Forest Mims Optoelectronics Mini Notebook.

    I contains an number of CDS cell circuits that will fit your mold nicely.

    Finally a question I can answer.
