This circuit uses a light dependent resistor (LDR) to sense ambient light levels and automatically activate LED lights when main power is cut off. When powered, the circuit charges an onboard battery. When power fails, the LDR detects low light and triggers the LEDs to turn on via a MOSFET transistor, powered by the battery. The LEDs will remain on for over 8 hours. The circuit prevents the LEDs from activating in bright light even without main power, conserving battery life. It has applications as an emergency light for homes and child study areas during power outages.

HOD: Harikrishnan sir Index: • Introduction • Circuit diagram • Components Explanation • Operation • Advantages • Disadvantages • Applications • Future scope INTRODUCTION This is the simple and cost effective automatic emergency light circuit with light sensing. This system charges from main supply and gets activated when main supply is turned OFF. This emergency lamp will work for more than 8 hours.
When power supply is turned OFF, the circuit
senses the day light and according to the light it turns on the LED’s. If the light is present even though power fails the circuit turns OFF the LEDs. Here LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is used to sense the light. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM: Components: •9V step down transformer •Diode bridge – 1A •LM317 voltage regulator •Light dependent resistor – 2M ohm •IRF540 MOSFET transistor •BC548 PNP transistor •DC battery – 6V, 4.5Ah •Pot – 10k •4 high bright LED, s – 3v@15mA •red led •1n4007 diodes – 1 •electrolytic capacitor – 470uF •ceramic capacitor – 0.1uF •1k resistors – 2 •10 ohm resistors – 2 •10k resistor – 1 OPERATION Give the connections according to the circuit diagram. While giving the connections, take care in such a way that there is no common connection between AC and DC supplies. Apply the main supply to the circuit, now you can observe that LED’s will not glow and battery will charge. Remove the AC supply and place circuit in dark, now LED’s will glow. If you place the circuit in light, then LED’s turns OFF. Applications
• Used in child’s study rooms to avoid the
sudden power failure. • As an emergency lamp in homes. • Used in security systems to switch ON the lights automatically during the power failure. AFTER CONNECTIONS:
