The need for Remote Control systems is increasing, making it easier for humans to be able to optimize performance on the job over time. If at night there is a blackout, either due to weather, flood or disruption to the PLN electricity network or load regulation during peak load times so that electricity is turned on alternately for certain areas. As a result, the house was completely dark. Usually we turn on emergency lights for emergency lighting, or install a generator as a substitute for an electric generator from PLN. This study aims to easily control emergency lights remotely so that users can turn on and turn off emergency lights by using a remote control, infrared (IR) sensor as receiver, LED as indicator and battery (12 Vdc battery) as a power source. The Arduino Uno microcontroller is used as a tool for processing data from the system which functions to send commands to relay drivers to turn on and turn off emergency lights. The methodology used is the design method by making a prototype emergency lamp with remote control. The test results show that the remote control can turn on and off 4 emergency lights according to the user's wishes. The 5 Ah battery can supply 4 emergency lamps for ± 2 hours. The ability of the IR (Infrared) sensor to detect signals from a remote distance of approximately 6 meters.
