Street Light Research Paper

ABSTRACT
Increase in population and the corresponding increase of roads has increased the number of street light, for the roads and people’s safety, which rises investment and energy. Lighting consumes adequate amount of energy in both outdoor and indoor. However different approaches are being proposed for making systems energy efficient and upgraded with latest technology. This research gives precise and the best control over energy efficient street lighting system. It gives practical implementation using Long Range (LoRa) and Arduino micro-controller using sensors to gather information.

Public authorities consider it a matter of critical importance to invest in Street lighting in developing nations because it help stimulate economic and social stability. On the other hand, inefficient lighting creates wastage of financial resources and brings about social insecurity. An energy efficient design and implementation of viable technology would cut cost essentially; such savings eliminate or reduce the need for new generating plants and creates avenue for expanding such initiatives to remote areas, increasing access to lighting in low-income populace and other areas of interest. In addition, improved lighting quality and expansion coverage services can improve safety conditions for both vehicle traffic and pedestrians. A well-designed, energy-efficient street lighting system should permit users to travel at night with good visibility, safety and comfort, while reducing energy use and costs and enhancing the appearance of the neighborhood. In the same vein, poorly designed lighting systems can lead to poor visibility and creates light pollution. In most cases, design of street lights are poorly done and not frequently maintained when need or in some cases, obsolete technologies are deployed thereby consuming huge amounts of energy and also create high financial consequences and in the process failing to provide high quality lighting. In India, based on Central Electricity Authority statistics, it was revealed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency that an estimated gross energy consumption for public lighting was about 6,131 million kWh for the years
