Busitema University.https://bdears.busitema.ac.ug/handle/123456789/3069The aim of this study was to design a lighting system that is controlled by a remote and uses a low voltage as low as 5 Volts. In this study, a lighting system that is controlled by a remote was designed using a sensor, resistors, USB socket, remote and LED lamp beads. The band width of the lighting system was measured and found to decrease with increase in distance. These results suggest that the remote would be effective if it is used at a nearby distance with no obstacle.en-USThesis
