Abstract

This work proposes an analog control system to control dimmable LED luminaires depending on the signal. coming from a lighting sensor, with the aim of using only the energy necessary to maintain a lighting level of 300 lx in the work plane of a 27.54 m2 university study classroom. That is, artificial lighting adapts to the level of natural lighting, which represents a reduction in electrical consumption and in turn economic savings in electricity service. Smart electricity consumption meters were used to collect data from the old system with fluorescent technology that was used in the classroom, to then compare with the consumption data of the new automatic lighting control system (ALCS), which regulates the electrical power used and at the same time the luminous flux of the LED lamps, depending on the natural lighting.
