Street lighting plays a critical role in urban and suburban environments, providing visibility and safety for pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists during the night. However, traditional street lighting systems often consume significant energy, leading to high costs and unnecessary emissions.

Components of a Motion-Activated Street Lighting System

LED Lights LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are the preferred choice for modern street lighting systems due to their energy efficiency, longevity, and brightness. LED lights consume less energy than traditional bulbs and offer superior light quality and directional control.

Motion Sensors
Motion sensors are the core component of a motion-activated street lighting system. These sensors use various technologies, such as passive infrared (PIR) or microwave, to detect movement within their detection range.

Control System
A control system manages the operation of the motion-activated street lighting system, including sensor activation, light intensity adjustment, and scheduling.

Power Supply
Motion-activated street lighting systems can be powered by grid electricity, solar energy, or a combination of both. Grid-connected systems draw power from the electrical grid, while solar-powered systems utilize photovoltaic panels to generate electricity from sunlight.
