 Project Report on
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 Value Number Price Rs.

(i) Resistance 100 K. 1 0.50

(ii) Diode 1 N 4007 4 4 x .50

(iii) Capacitor 1 F/250 V. 1 2.00

(iv) Bulb 4 Volt. 1 5.00

(v) Battery 4 Volt.   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.
 
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).

Limitations
1. When the battery is used of larger voltage and output
required is also large, then its costs also increases.
