Wiring of the photo-resistor which senses light, once light exceeds a max threshold, my Arduino code directs the LED light to turn off. 








Led lights light up in the dark connected in series, additional parallel circuits of LED lights were experimented with but the light was not significant enough to contribute to the brightness of the prototype. 






Image from the internet was imported into Adobe Illustrator, using the image trace command, the line weight and small tweaks were made so that the vector was suitable for laser cutting








The pumpkin vector was transferred into AutoCad by first converting it into a pdf and testing started. The LED light was found to be strong enough but the wiring is visible through the pumpkin.
