 INTRODUCTION

 Auto Intensity Control of Street Lights is a simple project where the

intensity of the street lights is automatically controlled based on the
sunlight conditions.

 Generally, street lights are turned on during evening time and will
continue to glow till morning.

 This might result in unnecessary usage of power as it be glowing at full

intensity all times by using Arduino project, you can control intensity
based on the ambient lighting condition.

 As additional power saving feature, we have used LEDs for street lights.

 AIM & OBJECTIVES

Aim
We will design and build a simple but effective circuit called Auto Intensity
control of Street Lights using Arduino.

Objectives
• Control the intensity.
• Decrease the usage of electricity.
• Usage of LEDs in place of HID lamps.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

• Arduino UNO
• DS3231 RTC Module
• LDR
• 16×2 LCD Display
• LED
• 10KΩ Potentiometer
• 10KΩ Resistor
• Push Button
• Connecting Wires
• Breadboard

 METHODOLOGY

• First connect the SDA and SCL pins of DS3231 RTC Module to A4 (SDA)
and A5 (SCL) pins of Arduino. A 10KΩ Resistor and an LDR are connected
in a voltage divider format and its output is given to A3 pin (of Arduino).

• The data pins of 16×2 LCD Module i.e. D4 – D7 are connected to 6, 5, 4 and
3 pins of Arduino respectively. The RS and E pins are connected to pins 8
and 7.

• A Push Button is connected to Pin 2 of Arduino and an LED is connected to

Pin 11. You can follow the rest of the connections from the circuit diagram.

 CONCLUSION
A simple project for saving power is implemented using Auto Intensity
Control of Street Lights using Arduino and it is cost effective, practical eco
friendly. According to statistical data we can save more than 40% of electrical
energy that is now consumed by highways.
