The document describes a project to design an automatic street lighting system using sensors to reduce wasted electricity. It uses light dependent resistors and photoelectric sensors to detect daylight and movement, controlling streetlights with a transistor. The system was successfully prototyped to automatically turn lights on at night or with movement to save energy by preventing lights from staying on after sunrise or when not needed.

Abstract
This paper aims at designing and executing the advanced development in
embedded systems for energy saving of street lights. Nowadays, human has become too busy, and is unable to find time even to switch the lights wherever not necessary. The present system is like, the street lights will be switched on in the evening before the sun sets and they are switched off the next day morning after there is sufficient light on the roads. This paper gives the best solution for electrical power wastage. Also the manual operation of the lighting system is completely eliminated. In this paper the two sensors are used which are Light Dependent Resistor LDR sensor to indicate a day/night time and the photoelectric sensors to detect the movement on the street. The transistor 2N2222 is used to control the street light system, where the programming language used for developing the software to the automatic streetlight is C-language. Finally, the system has been successfully designed and implemented as prototype system. We have to spare or preserve vitality on the grounds that a large portion of the vitality sources we rely upon, similar to coal and gaseous petrol can't be supplanted. When we go through them, they're gone until the end of time. Sparing force is significant, rather than utilizing the force in superfluous occasions it ought to be turned off. In any city "Road LIGHT" is one of the significant force expending factors. More often than not we see road lights are ON considerably after dawn hence squandering part of vitality. Chapter I
Introduction
The use of electricity nowadays is very insufficient. The Automatic Light System is useful for our Street Lights.
Power is one of the most significant gifts that science has given to humanity. It has likewise become a piece of present day life and one can't think about a world without it. Power has numerous utilizations in our everyday life. It is utilized for lighting rooms, working fans and household machines like utilizing electric stoves, A/C and the sky is the limit from there. All these give solace to individuals. In industrial facilities, enormous machines are worked with the assistance of power. Fundamental things like nourishment, material, paper and numerous different things are the result of power (Lekshmi 2010).We need to save or conserve energy because most of the energy sources we depend on, like coal and natural gas can’t be replaced. Saving is very important, instead of using the power in unnecessary times it should be switched off. In any city STREET LIGHTS is one of the major power consuming factors. Most of the time we see street lights are on even after sunrise thus wasting lot of energy. Over here we want prevent the problem of wasting too much electricity on street lights by having an automatic system which turns on and off the street light at given time or when ambient light falls below a specific intensity LDR is used to detect the ambient light. If the ambient light is below the specific value are turned on. Formulation and Hypothesis
