current - inverted photocell (novice question)?



I'm a terribe novice when it comes to electronics and I've got a question: I have a simple circuit including a photocell that regulates current (I hope this terminology is correct). It works as it should: The more light, the more current flows.


Now I am looking for some opposite device: A schematic / device / photocell (?) that increases its resistance the more light is applied.


Is there something like that? I'd be gracious for any help.



edit details:


I'm quite sure that what I'm doing is a total no-go, but somehow it's working anyhow (i'd be glad for any tip you guys have :)).. My super-simple (dangerous?) circuit consists of a 9V battery and a power-led. in between their connection I simply placed a photocell. As mentioned, I'd like this photocell to work in opposite of its current function: Power-led should become brighter if I "close up" the photocell.


thanks a ton so far!

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
