Lighting control - reduce your costs and light emission

Would you like to minimize energy consumption, increase service life, reduce maintenance costs and at the same time reduce light emissions?

You can achieve the best results by upgrading to energy-saving LED luminaires combined with a future-proof lighting control system.

Lighting control is an important component of modern and efficient street lighting. It helps adjust lighting to actual needs, thereby improving energy consumption and light emission, while maintaining safety & compliance with standards.

Traditionally, street lighting often burns all night long, regardless of whether anyone is on the street or not. With sensible lighting control, the light can be adjusted to meet demand.

For bike paths, cul-de-sacs or remote streets, motion sensors can be used to automatically switch on the lighting when a pedestrian or vehicle is detected. The run-on time determines how long the lighting remains on or dimmed up before it is reduced again to a defined minimum. This significantly reduces energy consumption and extends the service life of the luminaires.

On neighborhood streets, lighting can be dimmed or increased as needed. If necessary, the lighting can be increased automatically to ensure better visibility.

For main roads, traffic-dependent lighting control is a good option.

Time-dependent lighting control with Interact City

Time-dependent lighting control is used as a basis across the board. Individual dimming calendars are assigned for individual light points, luminaire groups or entire streets, which can be flexibly adjusted at any time via remote access. This reduces laborious work to the light points and optimizes your energy consumption.

Interact City enables flexible response to changing road traffic conditions and standards and guidelines.

In addition, the system can cost-effectively replace today's ripple control.

Light as needed - with dynamic lighting control, the lighting can be optimized even further.

The use of motion sensors such as Eagle Eye Zhaga or Wattstopper is an ecological alternative to minimize light pollution and save energy. This technology is particularly suitable for low-traffic roads, pedestrian and bicycle paths, overland roads, sensitive locations such as nature reserves, areas close to forests or in residential neighborhoods.

On busy main roads, energy consumption can be reduced to a maximum with a traffic-dependent lighting control system such as TrafficDim. At the same time, safety is ensured and legal standards are met at all times.

What are the benefits for municipalities and utilities of a lighting management system?

A lighting management system offers considerable advantages to municipalities and cities as well as to energy supply companies by making the lighting points centrally controllable. This can reduce energy consumption, improve lighting quality, and enable integration with other systems. These benefits can lead to lower costs for energy, operation, and maintenance of street lighting, increased safety, and improved quality of life for residents.

Savings - Energy, Operations & Maintenance
  • Control street lighting actively via a light management system directly from the office. This allows easy adjustment of dimming profiles which results in a reduction in energy consumption.

  • .
  • Easily & efficiently adjust the lighting profile without having to approach the luminaires individually and reprogram them in a cumbersome way. With an LMS, this can be done from the office with just a few clicks. In addition, the system reports failures and malfunctions. This reduces the effort for the operation and the maintenance significantly.

  • Since the life of the luminaires depends on the operating time, this can also extend the life of the luminaires. The longer life reduces the replacement costs.

  • .
  • Because the lights can be controlled individually or in groups, it is also ensured that so-called conflict zones such as pedestrian crossings, traffic circles and intersections remain well illuminated - even if the lighting is otherwise dimmed or switched off.

Improved lighting quality

Lighting Management Systems (LMS) can improve lighting quality by dimming luminaires centrally or as needed, thus adapting them to actual use requirements. Lighting according to need, i.e. lighting only where it is needed and only as much as necessary, also reduces light pollution. This is achieved primarily by dimming the lights. These can be dimmed according to time, motion, or traffic to provide light as needed.

Integration & Connection

A lighting management system like Interact City canbe connected via APIs to other systems such as resource management systems or smart city platforms or data from them can be integrated into them. Since lighting infrastructure is present in all areas of life relevant to the population, it is predestined to collect information about these areas of life and their use, and to optimize their use for the population (e.g., to measure current traffic volumes and adjust traffic routing and lighting accordingly). However, this requires that the luminaires be networked.
