Journey towards Making the Most Efficient Garden / Pathway Light


When I first started with Solar Lighting it was to create a simple robust street light.
Created a Light that was good and robust. It was a typical Solar Street Light.
The LEDs were superflux capable of being driven to 50mA - The cooling was provided by the four leads and the PCB was made with lots of copper area to dissipate the little heat.
The design as based around a PIC micro-controller and the output was switching via the controller.
This was in 2005.

Since then I have tried various designs in lighting streets, gardens, porches and pathways.









I am on track to now make one of the most efficient lighting for Gardens, Walkways, pathways and porch lighting.

Annunciator

Design & Development of Annunciator . For a California based Company redesigned their annunciators around modern technology. The annunciators could handle 1 to 128 input modules with inputs to display from 8 to 1024 zones. The original full analog design was simplified with a single main PCB with a powerful microcontroller and multiple smaller PCBs with smaller microcontrollers, Analog & Digital inputs and outputs. PC based Software was developed to configure the system for multiple parameters. The duration of the project was 8 months.Test jigs were replicated at both places (USA & Goa, India).
