I've got the cell setup between two points that short the whole circuit. I want the cell to "close" when lit, so that it controls whether or not the circuit is shorting. I realized that a night light does the same thing. In light, it closes the circuit. Do you know of a way I could just...

I tried putting a resistor before and after the photocell, but it seems to have the same effect either way. Are there any other ways to do this?

I'm a total newbie at this, but I have a photoresistor set up so that it controls the shorting on an audio circuit. When light is on, it shorts and cuts the sound. When it is dark, it closes and allows the circuit to run normally. How can I reverse this so that light will make the sensor...
