    This project describes a low-cost emergency light that can be built for about Rs. 7. It uses a 100K resistance, 4 diodes, a 1uF/250V capacitor, a 4V bulb, and a 4V battery. When connected to a 220V AC power source, the resistance and capacitor allow the battery to charge over 6 hours. The diodes then convert the AC to DC to power the bulb from the battery for 10-15 days without recharging. Key advantages are its low cost, reusability, easy availability of components, and long life from a single charge.

    Low Cost Emergency Light

    Introduction This project is entitled as "Low Cost Emergency Light". It is an emergency light costs Rs. 7 only. It is a completely rechargeable emergency light. After 6 hrs. charging, emergency light becomes completely rechargeable and gives output of 10 to 15 days. Requirements
    Material (i) Resistance (ii) Diode (iii) Capacitor (iv) Bulb (v) Battery Value 100 K. 1 N 4007 1 F/250 V. 4 Volt. 4 Volt. Number 1 4 1 1 Price Rs. 0.50 4 x .50 2.00 5.00 50.00

    Principle It is based upon the concept that when resistance & capacitor is attached in parallel to the diodes, the voltage provided from mains of 220 V, A.C. passes to battery of 6 V. D.C. Working When alternating current is supplied the 220V. is supplied. It is passed through resistance and 6V. of output is produced because battery is of 6V. capacity. Capacitor stores the charge in battery. Here four diodes are used which acts as bridge wave rectifier and converts supplied A.C. into D.C. to be stored in battery. After 6 hours charging, emergency light starts working. Uses of Various Components Resistance : It is used to provide resistance in the path of potential. Diode : Diodes are used to connect alternating current to direct current.

    Capacitor : Capacitor stores the charge. Battery : Battery provides voltage on potential. Limitations 1. When the battery is used of larger voltage and output required is also large, then its costs also increases. Advantages 1. This emergency light is of low cost. 2. It is completely rechargeable. 3. All the components are easily available. 4. It is easy to use & transport. 5. 6 hours charging gives output of 45 hours (approximately).
