Abstract: Recently, many researches has been carried out to save the energy in many aspects such as producing a device which consumes very less energy or designing a system which helps to reduce the power consumption using the existing devices. In this paper, a room light control system is proposed which is named as light control system (LCS). This proposed system will able to provide the needed light which provides the satisfaction of users and will provide energy saving and management. In this paper the Lighting Control System and the decision making algorithm, are discussed. As per the algorithm the system will first check any occupant is there in the room. If so then the system will check the intensity of light in the room and if it is low then it will switch on the light. Our proposed system can able to minimize the energy consumed for lighting in a room and can able to provide it efficiently. Keywords: Lighting Control system, Energy saving, LDR, PIR sensor
1. INTRODUCTION:
Power saving have became a necessary thing in our day to day life. Many conventional power saving methods such as using electrical devices which consumes very less energy or cutting off the entire power supply for a scheduled time for a particular area are not efficient and there will be a lot discomforts to the users and cost may also increase to use a low power electrical device. Buildings are responsible for up to 40% of energy usage. Most part of this energy is used mainly for maintaining good lighting such that the workers feel comfortable. Nowadays the newly constructed modernised or automated buildings may have lighting

In this system the number of persons present in the room (Person counter) can be included and also the data transmission from PIR sensor to microcontroller can be implemented through wireless such that the system will become a scalable one in the sense a single system can able to control a large number of rooms. Apart from these things the system can be upgraded to allow the users to configure the intensity of light in real time. www.ijcat.com 120
