Daylight sensor for lighting control

As a night time detector[]

By connecting the sensor to a NOT gate (inverter), it outputs a signal when the light level is less than 4, so players can, for example, make lights that turn on at night, or gates that automatically close.

Players can also detect moonlight by blocking off the detector so it cannot see light, then pointing a comparator away from it.

Another way to detect nighttime is by right-clicking the daylight detector, which turns it into an inverted daylight sensor.

Using the inverted daylight detector instead of a not gate to turn on lamps makes the lights turn on early evening to sunrise.

As a clock[]

Because you can measure exactly what light level it is, you can make a clock.

For example, for every light level it is, 1 light goes on a board.

Inverted daylight sensor

When it is night, the word "Night" is illuminated on the board displaying light level or time. This can be useful for servers, especially if you do not have the ability to create one using piston memory, or do not wish for one as it can be complicated or laggy.
