The motor will not run. If the Gate to Source voltage is > 4 volts, then current will flow between the Drain and Source and the motor will run. Adjust R2 so motor is off when R1 sees no light. The Gate voltage should be < 2 volts. When R1 sees light, its resistance should decrease raising the Gate voltage > 4 volts. Then the motor will run.

Standard Radio Shack Light Sensor package of 6. Min ohms - White Med ohms - Grey Max ohms - Black The Problem: In a package of 6 light sensors, the resistance varies significantly. Note: Test No. 1, 3, 6 have the same physical size. Their resistance ranges are closer to each other than to other three. For 1, 3 and 6, the thresholds may be set, i.e. to 10 K Ohm and 25 k Ohm.
