Adjustable Light Switch

My project is a Automatic Light Switch (ALS), which is similar to the sensors in streetlights that automatically detect low light environments and turns on the light post automatically to illuminate the area. When I began this project, I wanted to improve and build on my previous bonus project, which was similar, and I believe that goal was achieved. I found the inspiration for this project by realizing that a lot of street lights are not functional, or manually turn on depending on the time. I thought that creating a product that can fix these issues by improving and restoring urban infrastructure would be beneficial to drivers and pedestrians in Toronto. Since turning on at a specific time could lead to waste, and since some days are brighter than others, this device could effectively save energy by only turning on the light when it’s needed.
