Daylight Sensor
Daylight Sensor
A daylight sensor outputs an analog 0–15 signal that tracks the sun's height, peaking at noon. Toggle it to inverted mode and it instead peaks at midnight for night lighting.

Bedrock note Inverted mode is what powers automatic street lamps — the sensor goes high as the sun sets, switching the lights on without any clock.
