 ABSTRACT

“AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROLLER”, controls the amount of lighting in a

room by constantly monitoring the level of luminance in a room. Lights are then
controlled such that required illumination is available in the room.It can be
applied effectively in commercial buildings, homes, colleges etc.

E.g) On a normal day when there is a bright sun the lights will be OFF. And on a
cloudy day the illumination levels will be low the controller calculates the required
lighting by checking the illumination level and turns ON the lights.
