TL;DR: In this paper, an initiative on Smart Street Light System (SSLS) is discussed in which the major focus of the SSLS is to automatically turn the lights on when necessary and off when not required.
Abstract: Currently, there is an enormous wastage of electricity in the whole world due to the conventional street lighting system which is turned on manually during night. There is a huge wastage of power due to this conventional street lights. To solve this problem, an initiative on Smart Street Light System (SSLS) is discussed in this research paper. The major focus of the SSLS is to automatically turn the lights on when necessary and off when not required. Here, the manpower is reduced because of the Light-Dependent Resistor (LDR) which detects the movement of the vehicle and turns the corresponding street lights on and off accordingly when the vehicle passes away. Apart from the reduction in manual operations of street lights, enormous electrical energy is saved due to optimal utilization.

TL;DR: In this article, a solar street light controller consisting of a charge-discharge control circuit, a photo-sensitive control circuit and a pedestrian detecting control circuit is proposed to reduce electricity consumption of street lights when applied to solar street lights.
Abstract: A solar street light controller comprises a charge-discharge control circuit, a photosensitive control circuit, a pedestrian detecting control circuit and a timing control circuit In day time, a solar battery charges an accumulator battery through the charge-discharge control circuit; at night, no pedestrian passes by, the street light runs with reduced power Only when a pedestrian passes by, the output of the pedestrian detecting control circuit varies to lead the street light to run at full power The solar street light controller has the advantages of reducing electricity consumption of street lights when applied to solar street lights, not only bringing convenience to pedestrians, but exhibiting street light view, and remarkably improving the efficiency of solar street lights

TL;DR: In this article, a solar street light with two work modes, the normal work mode and the energy-saving work mode, was chosen according to the practical situations of the passers-by before and after midnight so as to save energy.
Abstract: The invention discloses a solar street light, solving the technical problem of choosing work modes according to the practical situations so as to save energy. The solar street light comprises a solar power system provided with a photovoltaic system and batteries, and the street light; wherein, the solar power system is electrically connected with the street light; the street light has two work modes such as normal work mode and energy-saving work mode; a control circuit is connected with the street light and comprises a timer; when timing of the timer is around the corner, the control circuit controls the street light to work according to the energy-saving work mode. In the technical proposal of the invention, as the used street light has two work modes such as the normal work mode and energy-saving work mode, under the control of the control circuit, the work mode can be chosen according to the practical situations of the passers-by before and after midnight so as to save energy.

TL;DR: The proposed cloud based system involves read and update of data in cloud using internet for an efficient street light monitoring system which uses ZigBee based wireless devices which enable more efficient street lamp monitoring.
Abstract: The proposed cloud based system involves read and update of data in cloud using internet for an efficient street light monitoring system. It uses ZigBee based wireless devices which enable more efficient street lamp monitoring. It uses a dimming control and Infrared sensor; the information is transferred using ZigBee and is sent to the base station which is used to check the state of street lamps and to take appropriate measures during failures.
