Led Based Solar Lantern

Abstract

LED solar lantern system is a solar energy based system for operating LED lights for specified hours of operation per day. LED based lighting system has become a popular substitute for low voltage lighting as LEDs do not suffer from low efficiency, poor reliability and short life time exhibited by bulbs. LED’s are favored over incandescent bulb or CFL as LEDs convert far more of their energy in to light .For instance, substantial amount of energy is wasted as heat in bulbs. Increased efficiency means that batteries will last much longer maintaining the brightness. The lifetime of LEDs is over 1000,000 hours. The maintenance cost is negligible. Also it operates in at a voltage as low as 1.8 V. So LED Technology has opened new vistas for lighting with its unparalleled capabilities.
