The main purpose of this project is to design an Intelligent and adaptive street lighting system, which ensures continuous lighting for the rural people as they mainly depend on renewable energy sources. This project “INTELLIGENT AND ADAPTIVE STREET LIGHTS ILLUMINATION CONTROL USING IOT” is to minimize the energy cost & electricity losses and also reduce the manpower used in manually switching on-off the streetlights. This smart streetlight operates only when required and works autonomously on successive nights even when sunlight is unavailable. Nowadays people are looking for smart systems, with less energy consumption along with less maintenance. On considering the above, these Intelligent streetlights are upended with IoT powered adaptive system, to identify the faulty situations and communicate the same to the maintenance using the IoT-NodeMCU
