Smart lighting is one of the most mature smart city applications, but it is still not as widely deployed as we thought.
Recent surveys confirm that about 75% of public lighting equipment in Europe is more than 25 years old, and more than half of the 40 million street lights currently installed in the United States are old and inefficient. This means that many cities around the world are yet to take full advantage of LED-based and remotely managed street lights.
What is smart lighting
Intelligent lighting is a lighting system that uses intelligent technology to achieve light control and management. Compared with traditional static lighting, smart lighting has a higher degree of flexibility and intelligence, and can be automatically adjusted and controlled according to the environment, user needs and preset plans.
Smart lighting systems have some of the following features and functions:

Intelligent lighting is a lighting system that uses intelligent technology to achieve light control and management. Compared with traditional static lighting, smart lighting has a higher degree of flexibility and intelligence, and can be automatically adjusted and controlled according to the environment, user needs and preset plans.
Smart lighting systems have some of the following features and functions:
- Remote control: Users can remotely control the lights through smartphones, tablets or other smart devices without on-site operations. This feature enables users to flexibly control lighting equipment in different locations and at different times, improving convenience and comfort.
- Automatic adjustment: The intelligent lighting system can automatically adjust the light brightness, color temperature and mode according to ambient light, time, personnel activities and other conditions. For example, the brightness can be automatically reduced during the day to make use of natural light; it can be automatically adjusted to soft, warm-toned light at night.
- Sensor integration: Intelligent lighting systems usually integrate various sensors, such as light sensors, human body infrared sensors, etc., to sense changes in the environment and user activities. These sensors can realize intelligent lighting control and improve energy efficiency.
- Timing plan: Users can pre-set the switching time and mode of the light to realize functions such as timing switching and timing brightness adjustment. This feature helps save energy, improve security, and adapt to the user's lifestyle.
- Scene mode: Intelligent lighting systems usually support multiple scene modes, such as party mode, reading mode, relaxation mode, etc. Users can choose the corresponding lighting mode according to different scenes to create an atmosphere suitable for the current activity.
- Energy saving: Because the intelligent lighting system can automatically adjust the light brightness and color temperature according to actual needs, avoiding unnecessary waste of energy, it can effectively save energy and reduce energy consumption costs.
In short, the intelligent lighting system improves the flexibility, convenience and energy saving of the lighting system through intelligent control and management, creating a more comfortable and intelligent lighting environment for users.
Benefits of smart lighting
Switching to smart lighting is good for the environment, city budgets and people. The following benefits of smart lighting systems include but are not limited to:
Benefits of smart lighting
Switching to smart lighting is good for the environment, city budgets and people. The following benefits of smart lighting systems include but are not limited to:
- Energy saving and environmental protection: The intelligent lighting system can automatically adjust the light brightness and color temperature according to the ambient lighting and usage needs to avoid unnecessary energy waste, thereby achieving energy saving effects. By using high-efficiency energy sources such as LED lamps, smart lighting systems can reduce energy consumption, reduce the load on the environment, and benefit environmental protection.
- Cost Savings: Although the initial investment in smart lighting systems is higher, significant cost savings can be achieved in the long term through energy savings and reduced maintenance costs. For commercial buildings and large venues, the advantages of energy and cost savings are particularly evident.
- Improve comfort: Intelligent lighting systems can adjust light brightness, color temperature and mode according to user preferences and activity needs, creating a more comfortable indoor environment. For example, the lighting brightness and color temperature can be automatically adjusted according to different time periods during the day and night to improve the user's visual comfort.
- Enhanced security: Intelligent lighting systems can be integrated with security monitoring systems to achieve intelligent security functions. For example, surrounding lighting can be automatically turned on at night to increase visibility around a building and reduce potential safety hazards.
- Improve productivity: A suitable lighting environment can improve employee efficiency and productivity. The intelligent lighting system can provide the most suitable lighting mode according to different working scenarios, helping to reduce eye fatigue and improve concentration, thereby improving work efficiency.
- Intelligent management: Intelligent lighting systems are usually equipped with intelligent controllers and remote monitoring platforms, which can achieve centralized management and monitoring of lighting equipment. Building managers can monitor the operating status and energy consumption of lighting equipment in real time and perform remote control and adjustment, thereby improving management efficiency and convenience.
Intelligent lighting systems provide users with more intelligent, convenient and livable lighting solutions through the advantages of energy conservation and environmental protection, improved comfort and safety, and improved productivity, which meet the requirements of sustainable development and also provide users with Construction management brings many conveniences.
