description The rapid increase in wireless technology has enormously increased wireless control of lighting system in residential, commercial, and industrial settings of many countries across the world. However, this system lacks troubleshooting interface, making it very difficult for the identification of faults in the lighting system. This paper therefore seeks to improve on the wireless lighting system by incorporating into the system two types of sensors such as the current sensor and light dependent resistance (LDR). The current sensor is functioned to determine fault in power supply, whilst the LDR determines fault due to damage in the AC lamp. The proposed system was first simulated with Proteus software to observe the set objectives. A successful simulation resulted in the implementation of the system. The results discussed prove that incorporating wireless technology with current sensor and LDR will make troubleshooting easy and effective when the need arises.
