    that is what I meant, yes the purpose being that without it you have nearly a direct path via the E/B junction between + and - should the LDR resistor value drop too low, this risks damaging the transistor…

    I finaly got a chance to really test this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i0wKlOYcQM .let the steam out

    Oh while am at it, i need some help!

    All the arduino does here is read an LDR and turn on a relay (cellphone's vibrating motor is replaced by an LED)

    I want to remove the arduino so that anyone can make it. To do that i need a circuit that can turn ona  relay based on the state of the LDR.all i can find is "when the laser is pointing at the ldr is stays off , then the beam gets broken the circuit is turning the realy on"I want the opposite , so I need to change that schematic :

    image

    That is an N type MOSFET, can it be done if I use  a aP type (to make the LED glow when the laser is shining on the LDR)

    If not how can i do that?

    you don`t need a FET, an ordinary NPN transistor will work and probably cost less, a BC108 or 2N2222A2N2222A etc...

    turning On or Off with the LDR is simply a matter of Where you put it to bias the transistors base.

    so leaving your circuit as it is, and moving the LDR and 2k2 resistor around will turn the LED On with light and off with dark, just swap them over image

    yup, that`s the principal behind it, although in Practice you should use a resistor to feed the base.

    You said "... should use a resistor to feed the base." 

    Could you please expand and define exactly what you mean?

    I think you mean that an additional resistor would need to be added on the horizontal wire going to the base.

    What purpose would such a resistor serve?

    the purpose being that without it you have nearly a direct path via the E/B junction between + and - should the LDR resistor value drop too low, this risks damaging the transistor and/or the LDR.

    with a resistor in line you can still measure the PD, but at safer current levels.
