Auto Night Lamp Using High Power LED

OBJECTIVE:
Auto Night Lamp Using High Power LEDs is a circuit which turns ON the LED
lights interfaced to it at night time and it turns OFF the lights automatically when it
is day , with the help of BJT and LDR.
ABSTRACT:
Auto Night Lamp Using High Power LEDs is a circuit which turns ON the LED
lights interfaced to it at night time and it turns OFF the lights automatically when it
is day , with the help of BJT and LDR.
The element which is used for sensing light in the circuit is the light dependent
resistor. The resistance of the light dependent resistor depends on the light
incident on it. If the intensity of light incident on it is more, then the resistance of
the circuit decreases. If the intensity of light incident on it decreases, then the
resistance of the device increases.

APPROACH/METHODOLOGY:
The working of turning on or off of high power LEDs with light intensity is seen
here. The element which is used for sensing light in the circuit is the light
dependent resistor. The resistance of the light dependent resistor depends on the
light incident on it. If the intensity of light incident on it is more, then the resistance
of the circuit decreases. If the intensity of light incident on it decreases, then the
resistance of the device increases. We are making use of this property of the light
dependent resistor to detect the light and thereby operate the LEDs. We are
arranging light emitting diodes in an array such that five LEDs are in series and
five such series LEDs are arranged in parallel.

The transistors are used in saturation mode. They are used as electronic switches
in this mode. The transistor BC547 is a general purpose NPN transistor which is
used to further switch the LEDs. This is a power transistor with a heat sink. The
heat sink helps the transistor to dissipate the generated heat into air so that the
transistor can handle higher power loads than it can do without the heat sink.
The entire circuit along with the LEDs is powered by a 9V DC power supply. A
battery based DC power supply is usually preferred. However, you can use a ac
rectified and regulated power supply.
The LEDs used in the circuit are high powered white LEDs. The intensity of light
produced by these LEDs equals an ordinary fluorescent bulb. The lighting
produced is sufficient for reading or to do any other daily activity. The circuit can be
assembled on a printed circuit board with all the components neatly arranged and
the LEDs placed in order. Try to place the LEDs maintaining a distance of about 1
cm between the LEDs so that the the lighting will be well distributed in your room.

CONCLUSIONS:
Thus Auto Night Lamp Using High Power LED is constucted and the change of
intensity of led with incident light is successfully seen.
