This week I'm exploring a photocell that is used to control street lighting.

It's somewhat different from the one Big Clive looked at a couple of years ago (   • Inside a UK compliant dusk sensor switch. ...  ), but it does the same job.

Tearing this down put my solder sucker to the test - and it did well, even with the huge pads and big pins. https://pileofstuff.ca/r/5rclq if you're interested

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.

But it's how I do it.
