In this video, I'll be demonstrating a cutting-edge street lighting system that intelligently adapts to its surroundings. At the heart of this project is an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) that senses ambient light conditions to control the LED lights. During the daytime, the lights remain off, conserving energy. As evening approaches and darkness sets in, the lights automatically turn on, gradually increasing in intensity as the night progresses.
What makes this system truly innovative is its dynamic adjustment throughout the night. The light intensity peaks by midnight, ensuring visibility when it’s most needed. After midnight, the lights gradually dim, reducing energy consumption and minimizing disturbances in natural habitats, particularly in areas near forests or wildlife reserves. Street lighting in such areas can negatively impact the health and life cycles of birds and other wildlife, and this project aims to address that concern.
This smart street light solution not only improves energy efficiency but also contributes to environmental preservation by reducing light pollution. Whether you're looking to implement this in urban areas or nature-sensitive zones, this project offers a thoughtful balance between human needs and environmental conservation.
Join me as I dive into the details of how this system works, from the hardware setup to the programming behind it, and explore its potential applications and benefits.
