1.0 ABSTRACT
Since the invention of the light bulb its usage till today has led to a fairly large toll on
the energy consumption, thus this phenomena is to be curbed besides transcending the lighting
system into the next dimension by inventing a lighting system that consumes a minimal amount
of energy. Realising that the sunlight is not being utilised optimally, we came out with an idea
of visionised 21st century lighting system whereby sunlight is channeled towards and travels
inside the fibre optics creating a bright light. The project is kicked-off by studying and
discussing the concept of fibre optics and the heliostat mechanism. Researches will be
conducted to gather information on the selected topic from sources like internet and books. The
data collected will be analyzed as input for calculation, modeling, testing and other designing
methods. Project management reference, Gantt chart and.organizational elements such as
allocating and distributing tasks are adapted to ensure smooth flow of project development. As
a conclusion, we hope that this project will be successful and also be the gateway for the 21 st
century lighting system.
2.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Ever since Thomas Alva Edison developed a long-lasting practical incandescent light
bulb in 1879, the only well-developed advancement in lighting technology is the compact
fluorescent lamp. Although both of these artificial lightings have made major contributions in
human civilization, they also have a few setbacks which absolutely need to take into account.
Compact fluorescent lamps are found to contain small amount of hazardous mercury
which can cause toxicity, have more obvious flickering problems and sensitive in low
temperature condition which impractical for outdoor lighting. Meanwhile, incandescent light
bulbs produce large amount of heat as by-product which can cause burns, relatively short life
span which may require frequent replacement and more prone to failure in high vibration
environment.
But the major setback of both lamps is that they are ‘wasting’ large amount of electrical
energy daily. According to the Reference case projection from the International Energy Outlook
2010 (IEO2010), released on 25th May 2010 by the US Energy Information Administration
2
(EIA), world net electricity generation is projected to increase by 87%, from 18.8 trillion kWh
in 2007 to 35.2 trillion kWh in 2035. This is mainly caused by the less energy-efficiency
lightings, not considering people who actually wasting the energy by letting the lamps always
switched on.
Instead of artificial lighting, why don’t we use the natural lighting, which is the sunlight?
Therefore, our problems are how to channel the sunlight into a room of a building and enlighten
the whole space. We also want to minimize the usage of electrical energy when there is no
sunlight such as at night or when it is raining.
3.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVE
3.1 To come out with the improve version of heliostat in order to optimize sun light
collection and channeling it more effectively towards the optic fiber
3.2 To produce a simple but flawless rain-control system to cover the heliostat during
raining
3.3 To integrate solar panel and use it as a mean to charge the batteries for the lighting
system during night time
4.0 BACKGROUND STUDY
Lighting system plays a major role in human life since the famous American inventor,
Thomas Edison invent an incandescent light bulb with a long lasting filament. This is the
beginning of the era which people shift from using candles to light bulb. Decades after that,
Albert Hull from General Electric manage to patent the first fluorescent bulb in 1927, which is
far more energy efficient than the incandescent light bulb. Today, this fluorescent lamp is use
every day which basically incorporate the use of electricity to produce mercury vapor. Then, the
mercury vapor produce ultraviolet light causing phosphor to fluoresce and the end result is a
visible light. We can observe that since 1927, the evolution of the light bulb has been put to a
long haul as the next breakthrough which most likely incorporates and solve our energy
3
efficiency and environmental issues haven’t found its way. The world today is still clinging to a
technology that is 84 years back.
Thus, is where our project comes in as the replacement to the fluorescent lamp. The
main idea is to have a totally green technology where independent lighting system is
implemented in the standard condition of an existing building. Today, optic fiber is one of the
famous ways to transmit information in form of light and it is replacing the conventional copper
wires. One of the great advantages of it is that it can transmit light by small degree of reflection
angle inside it tube. In a more simple word, it is easy to reflect light through the optic fiber.
Since most optic fiber tube is nearly colorless, when light travel it will glow like a
normal fluorescent light bulb. Using the glow part of an optic fiber as a lighting system is one
step ahead of the normal fluorescent bulb technology which far much simpler and safer. Our
challenge is to produce the brightest glow from the optic fiber so that it is enough to make a
room bright. In order to achieve that, we will install a high quality side glow type of optic fiber
and some mirror reflector in a strategic places to focus the light inside the room.
During the day time, the concept of heliostat will be use. We collect rays of sun light by
using reflection in order to produce one intense bright light at one spot. This intense bright light
will become the light source of the optic fiber. Besides coming out with new idea of simpler
heliostat, we will use standard lens to magnify the light. The challenge here is to ensure the
simpler version of heliostat works effectively and ensuring the optic fibre is able to withstand
the heat from the magnified light.
Solar panel on the other hand is used during daytime in order to generate electricity and
transfer it to the rechargeable battery. This battery will supply electricity to the light emitting
diode (LED) during night time where there is no sunlight. LED will act as the source of light
which it can be transmitted through the optic fiber tube. Choosing the right color of LED will
determine the brightness of the optic fiber during night time. Besides, we have to ensure that the
solar panel is working properly and the rechargeable battery is compatible with the solar panel.

It is very important to protect the heliostat from bad weather especially rain drops since
it can reduce the heliostat efficiency in focusing the sun light. This is where the rain control
mechanism suits it purpose. Using two motors, it will act like an automatic sliding window.
Moist detector is installed to detect raindrop and the rain control window will close
automatically when it is rain. Switch also can be installed so that the rain control mechanism can
be operated manually. Our concern is to ensure the rain control mechanism can operate perfectly
by using the same rechargeable battery which charged by the solar panel.
5.0 DESIGN APPROACH/METHODOLOGY
5.1 Procedures
5.1.1 Brainstorming:
The brainstorming session is done by defining the theme assigned. The main target
of the project is taken into consideration, all the features and the constraints such as working
prototype which includes at least three engineering field, and possess commercial value and
feasibility.
5.1.2 Research:
Research is essential in order to get informations for the project. Furthermore, we
can obtain a deeper understandings and technical explanations for the design. The research is
done by surfing to the internet, interviewing people and reading the articles in the books and
journals.
5.1.3 Compilation of data:
All the research data and ideas from each team members are compiled and discussed.
The compilation process involves comparing and analyzing the model mechanism. A
conceptual analysis is being performed so that the important and useful ideas to put on the
device can be developed.
5.1.4 Identification of need and decision making:

In this stage, the constraints, such as working prototype, at least three courses
involved, commercial value and feasibility were put into our consideration. All the
alternatives were put together in order to develop one outcome. Throughout this stage, we
manage to come out with some improving ideas.
5.1.5 Designing and constructing the device:
The designing process is initialised based on the conceptual sketches and technical
drawing, prototyping and engineering calculations. All the aspects of the design are put
under continuous ideas and observations.
5.1.6 Problem identification and resolve:
Any problem that occur due to the design specifications were put into critical
considerations at this stage. All works have to be reviewed all over again to overcome the
problem pertaining to it.
5.1.7 Final design:
At this stage, all the mechanisms are put to a testing. The functionality of the
mechanisms, the ranges of distance that will be covered by the sensor, the power needed to
turn on the mechanism and other things that will ensure the workability of the final
prototype are fully tested. During this stage, all the altering to the design specifications was
made to encounter the problems that occurred.
5.1.8 Conclusion:
The project will be completed by conducting the oral presentation to the supervisors,
demonstration of the model and submitting the final report.
