Daylight sensors decrease LED light output and increase natural light levels to maintain consistent brightness. They do this through "daylight harvesting", where the sensor detects daylight and reduces electricity usage. Using these sensors significantly reduces energy bills for buildings that require overnight lighting. Unlike programmed lighting, daylight sensors constantly adjust light levels as natural light changes throughout the day. They save energy and money by only powering lights as needed to complement ambient light levels.

▫ Daylight sensors work to keep the same level of brightness
in an area by decreasing the LED light output and enlarging it with natural light. This is also sometimes called ‘daylight harvesting’, which simply means the more they detect daylight or sunlight available in a space, the less electricity you use and the more energy and money you save.
▫ Using these devices can significantly reduce energy bills
especially for large or multi-structure complexes which require many light points to remain illuminated overnight, such as entrances and exists as well as parking lots.
▫ Further opposing traditionally programmed lighting
solutions just think of streetlights which turn off once natural light has reached a sufficient level, daylight sensors constantly adjust and actively dim as natural daylight increases. This would add on to the same factor of saving energy and money.
Components
▫ PHOTOCELL (STREETLIGHT SENSOR)
▫ A BULB ▫ A HOLDER ▫ A COUPLE OF WIRES ▫ A BATTERY (IF NO MAIN SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY PROVIDED) ▫ Daylight Automatic ▫ Bulb: The bulb itself is being switched Light Sensor on and off .
Science Project ▫ Wires: The wires are used to connect
the sensor to the bulb.
▫ Holder: it firmly holds the bulb.
MEMBERS ▫ Photocell sensor: It is the most Muhammad Hasaan Arshad important component in our daylight Aayan Asif sensor as it detects the ambient light Umar Farooq Dreshak Ibrahim Sufi around It and acts by cutting of the Rana Haider Ali Kashif electricity or supplying the electricity to the bulb.
Objectives For This Year’s Science Project, We will be making an Daylight Sensing Light Which Switches on and off Automatically.
