Anika’s Automatic LED Lamp project employs an Arduino Uno and an LDR sensor to smartly control an LED, turning it on or off based on the surrounding light levels. Designed for efficiency, the system ensures the lamp only activates in low-light conditions, offering young learners a practical introduction to using sensors and coding to manage energy use in everyday applications like lighting.
I wanted to make a lamp that knows when to turn on by itself, so I created my Automatic LED Lamp project with an Arduino Uno and an LDR sensor. I’m still getting the hang of coding, but I thought it would be neat to have a light that switches on when my room gets dark and turns off when it’s bright, like magic that saves electricity.
My project uses an LDR sensor, which checks how much light is around it, kind of like how my eyes notice if it’s sunny or shadowy. I connected the LDR and an LED to my Arduino Uno and wrote some code to tell the LED what to do. If the LDR sees it’s dark because the light level is low, the LED turns on to brighten my space. When there’s enough light again, like in the morning, the LED switches off. It’s simple, but I like seeing it work every time I cover the sensor to test it!
I think I can add more stuff to make it cooler. Maybe I could make the LED get brighter or dimmer depending on how dark it is, or add a little buzzer that beeps when it turns on. I might also try showing “ON” or “OFF” on my computer screen using the Arduino Uno. I’m happy I’m learning how to use sensors to save energy, and I can’t wait to show my friends my smart lamp!
