Part 5/10:
The system may seem backward at first glance, but it’s ingeniously designed to ensure minimal power draw while allowing efficient light control, particularly for smaller bulbs. For instance, the circuit draws almost negligible power under normal operation, making it an effective solution for home and street lighting alike.
Transitioning to Street Light Controls
As we scale up from bulbs to street lights, the requirements change drastically. A standard streetlight operates at higher wattages—often up to 1,000 watts—calling for a more robust control system.
