The following circuit was designed by me for one of the followers of this blog Mr.Deepak upon his request.
The circuit is a LED driver which responds to ambient light as well as to the presence of any intruder, and varies its illumination accordingly, let's know more.
"Hi Swagatam,
I was looking to drive 20 LEDs of 0.06 watts.
So total Output voltage is 12-17 volts and total current is 0.08 amps
to drive 4 strings of 5 LEDs each
each led is 3.4 volts and 20 mA.
Can you help with this?
Also I would like to have an ambient sensor to switch on and off and a proximity sensor to switch to full brightness if some one approaches and to switch to half or 30% brightness after 30 seconds.
I need this for commercial use. I need a simple cost effective circuit. I have been following the blog and am sure that you know the subject. Please get back to me."

The following circuit designed by me hopefully should perform the functions that's demanded in the above request.
Let's try to understand the circuit functioning from the following points:
The IC 555 is configured as a comparator, the LDR and R8 values are compared for generating an appropriate output.
As long as there's enough light over the LDR, pin#2 of the IC remains high and this keeps the output pin#3 of the IC high as well.
The high output at pin#3 keeps the transistor and the LED switched ON, until the ambient light falls below a predetermined value set by P1.
This means during night or in the absence of light the LEDs too get switched OFF.
The upper section is a proximity sensor circuit. The transistors T2 and T3 are configured as high gain amplifier and is able to sense even minute voltages from the PIR sensor.
In the presence of any human or animal in the specified vicinity, the PIR becomes active and triggers T3, which in turn switches ON T2.
T2 instantly shorts R1, such that the supply voltage reaches the LEDs directly instead of via R1.
This situation brightens up the LED illumination, indicating the presence of a passer by (as stated in the request).
The capacitor C1, ensures the LED brightness stays alive for many seconds, even after the PIR is deactivated.

Simple PIR Controlled LED Lamp Circuit
The following circuit shows a simple motion sensor which activates the connected LEDs in response to the presence of humans within the specified area.
The LEDs remain switched ON even after the IR source has disappeared from the premise due to the introduction of C1.
The time for which the LEDs remain ON is determined by the product of R4 and C1, which is directly proportional to the time period.
This simplified version of the above circuit was requested by one of the interested readers of this blog.
