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
