All Year Automatic Illuminator

 

This project tackles the problem of illuminating an area in an efficient way during the dark hours of the day. At sunset, the light is turned on until people go to sleep. During the night, the light is turned off to preserve power. However, if something were to move in the area during night, the light should come on for a couple of minutes. In the morning, before sunrise, the light turns on in case someone wakes up early. The proposed solution is a prototype that uses an ATmega16 together with a real-time clock, a motion sensor, and a light sensor to turn on an LED at the correct time of the day.

A farm or a smaller village can sometimes be experienced as a dark and unfriendly environment. Without public streetlights, one's property will not be illuminated after sunset. With our product we eliminate the need to venture out into the dark in the morning as well as coming home to a dark house in the evening. It will also provide the feeling of security in the middle of the night with a motion sensor that turn on the light when someone approaches your home.
