Micro-Project Proposal
Title of Micro-Project: Automatic street light controller
Automatic Street Light Control System is a simple yet powerful concept, which uses
transistor as a switch. By using this system manual works are 100% removed. It automatically
switches ON lights when the sunlight goes below the visible region of our eyes. This is done
by a sensor called Light Dependant Resistor (LDR) which senses the light actually like our
eyes. It automatically switches OFF lights whenever the sunlight comes, visible to our eyes.
By using this system energy consumption is also reduced because nowadays the manually
operated street lights are not switched off even the sunlight comes and also switched on earlier
before sunset. In this project, no need of manual operation like ON time and OFF time setting.
This project clearly demonstrates the working of transistor in saturation region and cut-off
region. The working of relay is also known.
Micro-Project Report
Saving power is very important, instead of using the power in unnecessary times it should
be switched off. In any city “STREET LIGHT” is one of the major power consuming factors.
Most of the time we see street lights are controller has an LDR which is used to detect the
ambient light. If the ambient light is below a specific value the lights are turned ON. A light
dependent sensors is interfaced with transistor BC547 and it is used to track the sun light and
when the sensors goes dark the led will be made on and when the sensor founds light the led
will be made OFF. It clearly demonstrates the working of transistor in saturation region and
cut-off region.

This project exploits the working of a transistor in saturation region and cut-off region
to switch ON and switch OFF the lights at appropriate time with the help of moving
vehicles and the visibility of light.
Automatic Street-light needs no manual operation of switching ON and OFF. The system
itself detects whether there is need for light or not.
Working:
Circuit of a compact and true solid-state automatic lawn light is described here. The
circuit can be used to switch on incandescent garden light bulbs at desk and switch off them
at dawn. A 10 mm encapsulated light dependent resistor (LDR) here works as the twilight
detector. The whole circuit can be housed in a very small plastic cabinet. For powering the
circuit AC household supply is needed. With a little skill and patience, you can easily
modify this circuit to drive a number of white LED strings, instead of the incandescent bulb
load at the output. When ambient light is normal, transistor T1 is reverse biased by the low
resistance of LDR. Multiturn plastic trimpotP1 sets the detection sensitivity. If ambient
light dims, transistor T1 turns on to drive the triac T2. Now the lamp load at the output of
T2 energises. When the ambient light level restores, circuit returns to its idle state and
light(s) switched off by the circuit.
