Emergency Light with Dark Switch and Motion Sensor

Abstract

The general objective of this research was to make an alternative means of producing light by the use of some simple materials at home. The specific objective of the study was to construct lighting system for emergency purposes which can use at schools, offices, hotels, hospitals and even in our homes. This study also aims to develop more suitable and efficient lighting system which uses motion sensor and dark sensor for switching devices. In this study, there are some advantages considered: (1) equipped with dark sensor which only activates standby light when the light in the surrounding is not sufficient during power outage; (2) equipped with motion sensors for switching device which will activate it brightness if there’s a presence of motion within an angle of 120 degrees and a maximum distance of 7 meters; (3) can give high frequency of emergency lighting during power outage. As the result of the study, this gadget only operates in dark surroundings and can give higher brightness if motion is sensed in a given angle and distance. To this end, this initial study formulated theories which stated that this gadget consumes less amount of energy and can operates automatically without directly controlled by a person.
