But if I want the LEDs to actually be bright, I probably need to use the sensor to activate a relay, right?

I know this is basic as shit, but I’m having a blast

Update: first trial with the planned number of LEDs and pillow stuffing, looks fantastic!

    I still need to run the numbers to figure out exactly which transistor fits this application, but I feel like anything getting that hot isn’t properly matched to 8 LEDs
