Smart lightning

Smart connected lighting provides on average more lighting hours, but with dimmed power, optimally adjusting the local momentaneous need and the preferences of the citizen for the specific place and time. More lighting hours now come with lower overall energy demand and a longer lifetime of the LED lamps. Automated fault detection further reduces downtown and discomfort. The energy consumption can additionally be measured more accurately, ensuring that the city pays the correct price. Energy-saving of 50-70% is possible while using such smart connected lighting Street lighting offers a perfect introduction to the topic of Smart City, as the operation of conventional technologies such as TRA, due to legal adjustments are used less and less and thus the costs for the individual use cases increase. 

With a switch to LPWAN technologies – especially LoRaWAN – significant cost optimizations can be realized directly with a simultaneous increase in efficiency in the area of maintenance. Thanks to the new solutions, the changeover can be completed with a manageable effort. Once the LoRaWAN network is established, other use cases such as smart parking, collection of environmental metrics, or even the use of level sensors for waste garbage cans can be quickly established, thus spreading the cost of the network across different use cases.

Reasons for smart street lighting

• Replacement of existing control technology to reduce costs
• Cost reduction in the municipal budget 
• Methodical maintenance as needed
• Environmental protection based on well thought-out lighting
• Added value for citizens through increased lighting for local festivities
