Project Aim:
Understanding the operation and application of an automatic street
light system using an LDR.
Components Used:

2. Transistor NPN
3. LDR
4. LED
5. Push Button
6. Resistor 100Ω & 330K
7. Connecting Wires
Circuit Diagram:
Connection Procedure:
Step 1: Connect
the positive terminal (+Ve) of the power supply (Pin 62) to one end of the 330K
resistor (Pin 13).
Step 2: Connect
the other end of the 330K resistor (Pin 14) to the base of the NPN transistor
(Pin 30).
Step 3: Connect
the emitter of the NPN transistor (Pin 29) to the negative terminal (-Ve) of
the power supply (Pin 59).
Step 4: Connect
one terminal of the LDR (Pin 80) to the base of the NPN transistor (Pin 30).
Step 5: Connect
the other terminal of the LDR (Pin 79) to the negative terminal (-Ve) of the
power supply (Pin 59).
Step 6: Connect
the positive terminal (+Ve) of the power supply (Pin 62) to the anode of the
LED (Pin 43).
Step 7: Connect
the cathode of the LED (Pin 44) to one end of the 100Ω resistor (Pin 1).
Step 8: Connect
the other end of the 100Ω resistor
(Pin 2) to the collector of the NPN transistor (Pin 31).
Step 9: Before powering on the circuit, double-check all connections to
ensure they match the specified pin numbers and are securely connected.
The circuit operates by turning off the LED during daylight when
the Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) detects high ambient light levels and
turning it on at night when the LDR detects low light levels.
Explanation:
This project aims to create an automatic
street light system that eliminates the need for manual control. It utilizes a
Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) which senses ambient light. During daylight, the
LDR's resistance increases, causing a transistor to switch off the LED. As
evening sets in and light decreases, the LDR's resistance drops, triggering the
transistor to conduct, thereby illuminating the LED.
