2. LDR Darkness circuit using the comparator 

√ Tested

ldr sensor circuit

Note- LDR must keep away from the light of the load bulb for flicker less operation. You can do this using the covering of the side area of LDR using black tape.

3 &4 . Photodiode darkness circuit diagram

This circuit diagram is made using the photodiode as the light sensor or dark sensor with the lm358 comparator. Highly sensitive and flicker less.

As my testing experience, Although Both LDR and Photodiode based circuit works well, But The LDR based circuit is better than photodiode based darkness circuit.
