The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering organized an industrial visit to Kalloor Electronics & Lighting Pvt. Ltd. (KELL), a reputed manufacturer of LED and solar-based lighting systems on 25/09/2025. The main objective of the visit was to provide students with practical exposure to the design, production, and testing of electronic lighting products and to understand how theoretical concepts from ECE are applied in real-time industry environments.

During the visit, students were introduced to various stages of the manufacturing process such as circuit design, PCB layout, driver assembly, component soldering, and luminaire integration. They also visited the testing and quality control section, where performance, reliability, and safety parameters of LED lights were demonstrated. The engineers at KELL explained the working principles of power electronics, embedded controllers, and sensor-based automation used in smart lighting and solar systems.

Through this visit, students gained valuable insights into modern lighting technology, industrial workflow, and energy-efficient design practices. The experience helped them relate classroom learning—particularly in electronic circuits, power devices, and microcontroller applications—to practical industrial solutions.

Overall, the industrial visit to KELL was highly beneficial. It broadened students’ understanding of the electronics manufacturing sector and inspired them to explore innovation and sustainability in the field of lighting technology. The interaction with professionals also enhanced their awareness of career opportunities and emerging trends in electronics and automation.
