Design and Performance of Solar-powered Telescopic Lamp

Abstract

This paper discusses the design of a solar-powered telescopic lamp. The telescopic lamp is a temporary lighting device designed for remote areas that have not been connected with State Electricity Enterprise (PT. PLN) sources such as campsites, disaster locations, mountains, forests, and other remote locations. The telescopic lamp is designed to move the area, this room is equipped with 5 V 12 Wp solar cells that function to charge the battery when the PLN source is not available. This device is equipped with 6 batteries with a total capacity of 15.6 Ah. The telescopic lamp has a lighting source using a 1.9 W power LED, a 12 V DC electric energy source, and a 5 V DC electric energy source. In this research, it will be validated between the design and field testing of the telescopic lamp that has been made. Tests on the telescopic lamp are carried out on the lamp charging system, whether it is sourced from PLN or solar cells. Subsequent tests will be conducted to determine the battery capacity of the LED lighting feature on the telescopic lamp
