Hi guys i took this light sensor from a Canon pixma MP500 model all-in-one printer. Since long time i was busy for how can i use it and about datasheet. Unfortunately factories changes the original name. So you cant find anydatasheets or scheme. Finally after i found gnd and vdd pin outs i googled and found original name with datasheet. You can change even the light tone with pot. So you can make different colours. You can use as night lamp or so.
Datasheet of light sensor link down side:

https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/129240/ROHM/IA6008-FB10A.html

Total 12 pin outs but you will use down side pin outs:

2--> Gnd
6-->SP. Start pulse. Common pin. Activates RGB leds.
8-->8V ( or you can use max 9V )
9-->Blue
10-->Green
11-->Red
12--> Gnd (Also gnd u can leave empty too.)

Here of my artworks pictures :p

Very nice colours! It will make a very nice night light.

One advice; please resize your pictures before uploading.

This one is very large and takes too long to download.
