Go HERE to see where this project started or I could also say stalled.

Thanks to DickCappels and AnalogKid for the direction they gave me in my final product.

The Shotgun Shell Clock with Sensor and LEDs has come to fruition. Feel free to scroll to Step 16 to get right to the circiut.

If anyone knows how I can get this to production please share. Would like to have a few of these in PCB for to throw into projects as needed.

Is there one light sensor for all 12 LEDs, or one sensor per LED?
Are the LEDs supposed to increase gradually in brightness as the ambient room light dims, or pretty much snap on below a certain threshold?

1 Sensor. 12 LEDs in parallel

My intentions were to snap on and off at a threshold, but I have noticed that the darker the room becomes, the bright the lights become.
