ABSTRACT
The aim of smart light management system using IOT is the conservation of energy by
reducing electricity wastage. In the manual streetlight system lights its powered from sunset to
sunrise with maximum intensity even when there is enough light available. This energy wastage
can be avoided by switching off lights automatically.

INTRODUCTION
IOT is the network of physical devices that allows the devices to communicate with each
other. IOT allows remote sensing and control over the devices. IOT has several automation
applications like smart home, smart parking, smart roads, smart lighting etc. The system is based
on smart automatic lighting and management. Automation simplifies various problems in the
world economy as well as in daily life. It uses the latest technology in LED as the light source to
restore conventional street lamps such as HID lamps. The LED lights are adopted because of its
various advantages over existing technologies like power saving due to increased current luminous
efficiency, reduced maintenance cost, high color rendering index, accelerated start-up, and
durability. The aim is to automate the lights to increase the productivity and accuracy of the system
in a cost-effective manner and permits wireless accessibility and control over the system. The main
motive of the system is the energy conservation because the resources like hydro, thermal, coal
that we rely upon are not easily replenished, so introducing power saving elements like LDR
Relays and LEDs can light up a large area with high-intensity light whenever needed. The relay is
used as an automatic switch and reduces almost 100 percent of the manual work. IOT based light
automation is a cost-effective and eco-friendly method which also eliminate the problems in
disposal of incandescent lamps and power saving.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
This project provides a better solution for light control and automation. The system consists
of LDR, relays, microcontroller and some electronic components.
LDR
Light Dependent Resistors are light sensitive devices. They are made up of semiconducting
materials with high resistance. LDR works under the principle of photoconductivity in which
conductivity of the material gets reduced by the absorption of light. The theoretical concept of the
light detector resistance lies behind, which is used in this circuit as a darkness detector.
Arduino UNO
The Arduino Uno is a small, complete, and bread board friendly board based on the
ATmega328. Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform. We can perform various operations
with the knowledge of Arduino programming language. It is an easy to use hardware and software.
It is easy to code and upload it to the board.
Relay
Relays are like remote control switches. It is highly used due to its simplicity, long life,
and reliability. Relays can take electrical inputs and gives mechanical output or vice versa. It is
normally an electromechanical device that is actuated by an electric current.

Implementation
CONCLUSION
An enormous amount of energy can be saved by replacing sodium vapor lamps by LED
and adding an additional feature for security purposes. It prevents unnecessary wastage of
electricity, due to manual switching of lights. It provides an efficient and smart automatic light
control system with the help of LDR. It can reduce the energy consumption and maintenance the
cost.
