I am trying to create a small (easy to hide) unit which will sense a flash of LED light in any outdoor setting. The goal is to send or remove a 12 volt signal to a timer whenever it detects a Flash of light.
The product will need to be able to detect the flash in all outdoor settings (Sunny clear sky, Dusk, and Dark Night). Is it possible to do this using a photocell? Won't the photocell be held open during changing sky conditions?
