Questions
What parts does the Light controlled use?
7 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Light controlled KiCad files?
From the jichen-jay/gen_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is light_controlled/light_controlled/light_controlled.kicad_pcb and its schematic light_controlled/light_controlled/light_controlled.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Light controlled design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jichen-jay before reusing the design.
