Yes, true. But won't this alter the hysteresis to a wider amount?Since R6 and R7 are only used as a reference voltage, you can set their values much higher to reduce drain on the battery. IE 600K each or more for 6 volts
Being that the LDR will be at about 60k when I want the striplight to turn on/off, I have chosen a 50k preset to be adjusted somewhere in the middle, therefore the voltage at the inverting input will be about 8 volts and the preset can adjust the voltage about 1 volt either way.

R6 and R7 values were chosen so that the voltage at the non-inverting input would be also be about 8 volts
