Automated LED for shop

Thank you for the link I will need to study that for a bit.

As you can tell I am trying to learn all of this so thank you very much for taking your time and hopefully in time I will get it all.

Honestly I still do not understand how to control the MOFSET from the Arduino and or how to wire it all up but given the correct layout I can solder like a mad man. I have tried projects for years now and I am getting better.

I am thinking of using this Light to Frequency Converter - TSL235R - SEN-09768 - SparkFun Electronics to sense the light it seems to have good control and variability.
