PROJECT PROPOSAL
Project Name:

Street Light Circuit

INTRODUCTION

This minor mini project is used to design a street light that


brightens up when night falls and automatically turns OFF when
daylight comes in. In order to detect the amount of light that is
needed to decide when to cut-off the circuit and later activate it,
this project is done with the help of a sensor called Light
Dependent Resistor (LDR).

PRINCIPLE

The main principle used behind the LDR is that the presence of
light causes the resistance of the sensor to go low. You can modify
the circuit by placing LEDs instead of the 230-volt lamp. To know
more about it, check out the comments given in the circuit. The
circuit is comparatively easy to design, and further modifications
can be made according to your choice.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
Notes:

 POT R2 can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the circuit.


 You can use bulb of any wattage, provided that relay should
have the sufficient rating.
 The circuit can be powered from a regulated 9V DC power
supply.
LDR advantages
 High sensitivity (due to the large area it can cover).
 Easy employment.
 Low cost.
 There is no union potential.
 High light-dark resistance ratio.

LDR disadvantages
 Narrow spectral response.
 Hysteresis effect.
 Low temperature stability for the fastest materials.
 The variation of the value of the resistance has a certain
delay, different if it goes from dark to illuminated or from
illuminated to dark. This limits the use of LDRs in
applications where the light signal varies rapidly.
 Slow response in stable materials.

Conclusion
 Typical values vary between 1 MΩ or more in the dark and
100MΩ in bright light.
 Maximum dissipation (50mW – 1W).
 Maximum voltage (600V).
 Spectral response.
 The typical response time of an LDR is in the order of one tenth of
a second.
