Abstract: The current research work is carried out for designing and executing the advanced development in embedded systems for energy saving of street lights. In India at many places manual street lighting system is installed and taken cared by municipality. Evening before the sunsetâ€™s street lights are switched ON and switched OFF in the next day morning. Another scenario is automated time setting is also used for street lighting. At few places after midnight all street lights are switched off. These all scenarios ultimately wasted up power.But the actual timing for these lights to be switched ON is when there is absolute darkness and glow only when there is a movement of vehicles or humans. To avoid the problems associated with street lighting system, the fully automated energy efficient system is proposed to perform the ON and OFF operations only when needed. Also the system is intelligent enough to communicate with the municipality office if any maintenance is needed. The proposed system is designed by using Arduino UNO and Bluetooth devices. Light Dependence Resistance (LDR) and Motion Sensors are used for designing the system. The proposed system is successfully fulfilled the designing purpose
