Implementation of Arduino Based System for Automatic Street Light Switching and Fault Detection

Abstract: The imperative for deploying automated street lighting systems in India is underscored by the significant opportunity to enhance energy efficiency a pivotal goal for a country committed to optimizing energy use. Research indicates that transitioning to LED street lighting can lead to a 30% decrease in energy consumption, translating into a substantial electricity conservation of approximately 2,326 GWh. LED technology is renowned for its potential to reduce energy requirements by up to 80% in comparison to conventional lighting methods, offering a more sustainable alternative that significantly lowers electricity demand. Transitioning to energy-efficient lighting plays a vital role not only in diminishing energy use but also in contributing to environmental protection by reducing CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the incorporation of automated control mechanisms in street lighting systems, such as daylight sensors and solar panels, which adjust lighting based on sunlight exposure, further boosts energy efficiency.
