I'm sitting there thinking about how I can make retractable glowstone ceiling lights and thought that maybe I just want a roof that lets in light through the sun. But I though, why can't I have it retract at dusk and have it come out at dawn without doing so manually? So I thought of Solar Powered Redstone Boards. They would take up the entire block, like repeaters, but have a different appearance. To be activated, it needs to be exposed to the sun, and it will provide redstone power. Heres how it would be made:
Red wool = redstone
Think of what you can make with this!
-Railways, active at day, safe from disturbance of monsters at night
-Sunlit rooms during the day, glowstone lit at night
-Note block notifications of night/day time if you are down in mine/working on house
-More!
That's a bit too modern for vanilla, in my opinion, can't you use the Light Detector block mod instead of requesting something as modernized as this?
Besides, you never even told us how it would be made. Give us more to go on besides uses and a name.

So, what do you think?

Risugami has exactly what you asked, he calls it the light sensor, it emits redstone current when it is above light level 12

Also, I searched "minecraft retractable lighting" on youtube. The first hit:
I didn't ask for a mod
I didn't ask for retractable lighting
I used the search bar and no suggestions came up :tongue.gif:
Then you are lying and never used the search, because more then enough results came up for me to deter anyone from suggesting it.

You are false and have no proof. Yes, mods came up, but did suggestions? Nooooooooooooo
