 PREFACE

This is a standard work of project in its compilation. It’s quite

original in style & method, and no pain has been spared in
making it as compact perfect and reliable as possible. Every
attempt has been made to insert in this handy volume as many
references as possible.

Each and every topic has been explained in detail. We are

confident that the report of our will satisfy the details of
department in detail. This project has been carried out and
presented towards as per requirement of CSIT, DURG for 5th
semester and as every point involves time and effort to present
the topic in as simple and lucid manner as possible providing
beautification to the user. We have tried our level best to make
this project fulfilling and observing.

Though every care has been taken to keep the presentation

simple. Any suggestion for the project would be thankfully
welcomed.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We are glad to express our gratitude & thanks to respected

teacher
Mr. Rajesh Gupta for his skilled and experienced help for
the completion of our project. We are very much grateful to our
prestigious institute which has given this opportunity to submit
this assignment.
I would also like to express gratitude to our instructor of
their respective fields who took out precious time of their to
teach us and explain to us each and every detail of the topic.
My special thanks to our guide onsite without whom, we
would not be able to understand the details of the work.

 TUBELIGHT BOOSTER

INTRODUCTION:
Usually after purchasing a new tube light we forget that it will be
useless one day. We notice that after working for several days
either it takes more time to burn, or dark patches appear at it
ends. But using this circuit which is quite cheap and easy to
make, one can reuse that tube light or can increase the life of a
new one.

Construction:
All the components should be joined as per circuit diagram.
Diodes should be connected with care so as not to reverse bias
them.

Working:
This circuit is actually a voltage developer. When electric
current passes through choke, then high DC current is formed
at output, due to which tube light burns.
After full completion of circuit choke cuts off
some voltage and thus tube light remains on.

Precautions:
• When tube light does not burn in one position, then
terminals should be interchanged.
• Live wire only should be joined in choke.
• 36W tube light should not be used.

Conclusion:
This project has taken in consideration the need of developing
a kit that would be really helpful in utilizing tube lights which are
of no use and those tending to be one. This project aims at
utilizing to the fullest all the resources available and decrease
the wastage by faulty tube lights. With the implementation of
project more and more people would be reusing there tube
lights and it would help in reducing cost in this regard.

Future developments:
This project has a very futuristic approach toward solving the
problem of wastage in case of tube lights. There has been
research going on the making such tube lights that would be
much smaller and much thinner in there dimensions but have
the same illumination. Also there can be energy savers tube
light development. The deployment of energy savers in various
fields and also in household is going on in wide scale. Remote
operated tube lights and lights that operate on speech have
made their mark in the market. People are now more utilizing
energy savers light called as the CFL or the compressed
fluorescent lamps that are much smaller than the conventional
ones and also utilize lesser energy that the latter one. All these
have been the area of research in the near past and also in
days to come.
