This Arduino-based night security light can protect your home/office from thieves/intruders at night. The light glows when movement is detected in front of the PIR sensor. Simultaneously, a piezo buzzer also sounds.
Features of the Night Security Light System:
- Automatic Activation: The light turns on when it’s dark and motion is detected by the PIR sensor.
- Duration Control: Upon detecting movement, the light remains on for ten seconds. If motion is detected again within this time, the countdown restarts.
- Daylight Sensing: The system remains off during daylight even if motion is detected.
- Incorporation of a Piezo Buzzer: A piezo buzzer sounds simultaneously with the light to alert during intrusions.

Night Security Light System – Circuit
The circuit diagram of the Arduino-based night security light is shown in Fig. 2. It is built around an Arduino Uno board (board1), PIR sensor connected across CON2, two BC547 npn transistors (T1, T2), a 12V one changeover relay (RL1), small LDR (LDR1), a piezo buzzer (PZ1), a 60W 230V AC bulb connected across CON4, and few other components.
