Hevans;
I took the unit up to a bedroom where the light was slightly darker and it wouldn't function so I tried your idea of changing out the 10k resistor in series with LDR with a variable resistor set at 11.5k and it works now in low light conditions so thanks for that idea.
The project now has a 1k variable resistor set at .590, a 5k variable resistor set at 2.158k and another 15k variable resistor set at 11.5k.
