Smart Lighting System 2.0

This document proposes a smart lighting system to address issues with wasted electricity from lights being left on during the day in India. The system uses a photoresistor and microcontroller to automatically detect daylight and turn lights on at night and off during the day. It would save electricity that could power other needs like irrigation. The system is designed to be low cost, long lasting, and beneficial to both the environment and economy by reducing waste and boosting power supply.

SMART LIGHTING SYSTEM Yalavarthi


THE PROBLEMS THE SYSTEM ADDRESSES
➢In India, we often observe that lights are being operated
in the day. This is either due to the neglect or
mismanagement of the people responsible. In this way, the
electricity is wasted.
➢We also see that many villages still don’t have access to
electricity.
➢In homes, many people switch on their lights in broad
daylight as they forget to switch off the lights.
THE SOLUTION
➢The solution to all of these problems is the need of a
smart and automatic lighting system.
➢In this system, the electricity wasted can be used for other
purposes like irrigation projects, factories etc.
➢The control computer detects whether it is day or night
with the sensors on the input board.
➢Then after analysing the values, the computer decides to
let the voltage flow into the lights or not.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
➢The light source: for e.g., bulbs, LEDs etc.
➢A photoresistor to measure the brightness
➢A microcontroller, preferably Arduino UNO
➢Resistors to control the voltage flow on the LED and the
photoresistor
➢Connecting wires for connecting the components
THE PRINCIPLE
➢This system works on the principle of the photoresistor. When there is
light on the photoresistor, the resistance increases and when there is no
light, the resistance decreases.
➢The microcontroller checks the resistance values and put them in a
conditional statement.
➢If light is falling on the photoresistor, the value reaches to a value more
than 300 and if light is not falling it decreases below 300.
➢Measuring this, the microcontroller sends a digital value to the light
source and the bulb either gets on or off depending on the
photoresistor’s readings.
PROTOTYPE CIRCUIT DESIGN
JOB REQUIREMENTS
➢Programmer: Basic knowledge of Java, C and C++
➢Electrician: Basic knowledge of Ohm’s law and electric
components
➢Assembler: Knowledge to attach the circuit to the lights of the
locality and adjusting the digital pin values accordingly
THE ADVANTAGES
➢Cheaper than other models in the market
➢It is dynamic as it can power many lights through one computer
➢Works for a longer period of time
➢Eco-friendly and non-toxic
➢Uses less components
➢Beneficial for the economy and the people
➢Boosts infrastructure by supplying more electricity to run the projects
➢Automatic, hence does not need humans to monitor the system
