DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF AN EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEM

Abstract

Light is very important in the human life. So the wish of every nation is, to have a constant power supply. The objective of this project, titled design, construction and testing of an emer gency lighting system, is to solve the problem of power outages. It is also a response to the need of constant power supply recommended by people where domestic power outages is very constant. The emergency lighting system can be used in special places like libraries, hospitals, Hotels, Bank vault and sensitive locations like theatre room, stadium, public corridor etc. The system was designed using rechargeable battery and a standby power source to keep the battery on full charged. The beauty of the project is that it is self-rechargeable. The system is fully automatic, turning ON a few seconds after a.c power supply goes off and turning OFF as soon as power supply is restored. Indeed it is gratifying to note that instead of using energy consuming by higher output power fluorescent lamp is used. v
