AUTOMATIC

Street light by using


LDR

Features:
It is a dark detector circuit based on LDR
and a transistor (BC-547 NPN) which
automatically switches ON and OFF the
street light system.
It automatically switches ON street lights
when the sunlight goes below the visible
region of our eyes. (e.g. in the evening
after sunset).
Features:
It automatically switches OFF the
lights when sunlight falls on it ( i.e.
on LDR ) e.g. in the morning, the
sensor called LDR (Light Dependent
Resistor) senses the light just like
our eyes and deactivates the circuit

Advantages
:
On sunny and rainy days, ON and
OFF time is noticeably differ which
is one of the major disadvantages
of using timer circuits or manual
operation for switching the street
light system.

Advantages
:
The automatic operation of street
light controlling systems help to
reduce the energy consumption as
compared to the manually
operated street light controlling
operations. This is because there is
a delay in the earlier switching
operations both in morning (during
sunrise) and evening (during
sunset).
Components Required:
LDR – Light Dependent Resistor

2 Nos. of transistors.

Resistor- 1kΩ, 100kΩ, 330 Ohm & 470 ohms.

Light emitting diode (LED) – Any color

Connecting wires diameter

Power supply-6V or 9V
Procedure
Insert first transistor Q1-BC547 (NPN)
on breadboard (or general PCB) as
shown in the circuit diagram 1.
Connect another transistor Q2- BC547
(NPN) on the breadboard as in step 1.
Connect wires across the emitter pin
of both transistors and -Ve terminal of
battery (lowest/bottom row of
breadboard.)

Connect a wire across the Collector pin of transistor Q1 and Base pin of
transistor Q2.
Connect a resistor 1K across the positive terminal of battery (topmost row of
Procedure breadboard) and Collector pin of transistor Q1.
Connect Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) across the positive terminal of
battery (topmost row of breadboard) and base terminal of transistor Q1.
