ABSTRACT:
Automatic lighting systems (ALSs) play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption and enhancing user convenience. This paper presents the design, implementation, and testing of an automatic night light using a transistor-based switching circuit. The system uses a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) to detect ambient light intensity and an NPN transistor to control the lamp or LED's operation. The proposed design is simple, cost-effective, and suitable for domestic applications. The experimental results demonstrate reliable automatic switching under varying light conditions, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
