    LDR based Garage Lighting circuit is presented here is based on the readily available LDR, comparator IC LM393 and relay. The LDR is used as the light intensity detector while IC LM393 used as comparator. In the absence of light, no light falls on the photo sensor. As a result photo sensor stop conducting and LED emergency light glows. However, when light falls on the photo sensor photo sensor starts conducting and LED emergency light stays off.

    LDR based Garage Lighting

    Abstract:
    LDR based Garage Lighting circuit is presented here is based on the readily available LDR,
    comparator IC LM393 and relay. The LDR is used as the light intensity detector while IC
    LM393 used as comparator. In the absence of light, no light falls on the photo sensor. As a result
    photo sensor stop conducting and LED emergency light glows. However, when light falls on the
    photo sensor photo sensor starts conducting and LED emergency light stays off.

    Application of the circuit:


    Most of the LDR based circuits available in market use one or another kind of LDR which
    increases the cost and also require complicated circuitry around it. But this LDR based circuit
    uses readily available LDR as light detector. The functioning of this LDR based Garage Lighting
    circuit is to detect interruption in light and automatically activate the LED emergency light in
    absence of light. LED emergency light glows continuously indicating the absence of light till
    light falls on the LDR.

    Why this particular circuit:


    LDR used here as a light detector. The variation in intensity of light wanted can be easily done
    by interrupting light using hand palm. The circuit operates normally over a DC voltage of 5V
    which can be obtained by DC supply cable.

    Explained working of circuit:


    The basic idea behind the circuit operation is to turn ON LED emergency light in absence of
    light. The LDR is needed for this purpose. LDR is photoelectric device as it converts light
    energy to electric energy. Here, LDR based Garage Lighting circuit works as light detector while
    LDR working as light sensor that glows LED emergency light. IC LM393 is used as comparator.
    LDR output is connected as input to comparator. Pin no. 4 of LM393 is pulled towards ground.
    Relay is used as a switch. When relay is activated, normally closed contact becomes open and
    normally open contact becomes closed. In normal condition, light falls on LDR and LED
    emergency light stays off. Now consider second scenario when light irrupts, the LED emergency
    light glows in the absence of light.

    How to build:
    First of all read the given manual thoroughly and study the circuit given in the figure. Also have
    look at PCB and components supplied along with the kit. Each component has to be soldered in
    its position on PCB.

    Identification of resistors is done by color coding. The color band on each resistor corresponds to
    its exact value.

    There are different methods in which values are defined on capacitors. But usually values are
    specified numerically on them.
    Can you make out the whole working of circuit and are you able to identify each component
    separately as to where each of them has to be placed?

    If yes only then proceed further to actually mounting and soldering the parts.

    Not ICs but their sockets are to be soldered on PCB. This is to make mounting and dismounting
    of ICs easy while troubleshooting.

    Start from left most corner of PCB and solder the components one by one on their correct
    position on PCB.

    Before soldering any component see that you have placed it at its right position and with correct
    polarity. Give due attention to diodes and electrolytic capacitors as they are polarity dependent.

    Do the soldering of other components in the same way while keeping in mind that components
    with long and sensitive leads like capacitors and transistors are soldered last.

    Testing the kit:


    After assembling and soldering of components on PCB, connect external DC power source of
    5V.

    For testing purpose manually hold hand palm over LDR. LED glows in this case.

    Now set the desired intensity at which you want detection of light. This can be done by changing
    the resistive value of R2 variable resistor.

    Install the unit at ceiling of room.
