Smart City Lighting Controls

Smart Cities Needed

Cities are developing fast, and there is more and more talk of a Smart City. This is also reflected in street lighting that is developed to be compatible with Smart City. Street luminaires are becoming increasingly smarter, which helps not only with energy efficiency but also for sharing data with other smart city systems.

IP65 Robust Lighting Controls

In the outdoor lighting, the importance of durability of smart lighting controls is higher than anywhere else, since they are always exposed to harsh weather conditions. Our zhaga book18 microwave motion sensors are IP65 rated, highly durable and long-lasting, making them an excellent investment for cities and municipalities. And plug & play zhaga socket is designed for simple and

straightforward setup installation. No technical expertise is required. Just place the zhaga D4i motion sensor on the socket and rotate it — that’s all!

Efficiency, Safety & Comfort

According to statistics, modern and smart cities currently consume more than 70% of the world’s energy, and this percentage is on the rise due to the growth of urban populations. Many public lighting in cities are illuminated at night, however this might not be really necessary all the time.

The energy consumption can be significantly reduced by dimming lighting control without having to compromise on comfort and safety. HF motion sensors enable the lights to automatically adapt their brightnes when huaman is detected to enhance visibility and safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, which improves road safety for drivers and pedestrians. By incorporating a photocell sensor with bright daylight lux control, advanced radar presence sensor can automatically enhance illumination in the weather conditions such as fog, rain, and snow. In addition to reduced energy consumption, dimming motion sensors also extends the service life of your luminaires and makes a valuable contribution to reduced light pollution.

DALI Wireless Lighting Controls

Street luminaires can be fitted with Dali wireless mesh system or 0-10v lighting control. As an independant luminaire, it can respond to an approaching pedestrian. As a smart city components, Zhaga D4i connected lighting controls can be integrated into a broader smart city infrastructure, allowing for centralized control and monitoring of street lighting. IoT (Internet of Things) smart solutions makes it possible to collect and evaluate data from every node. This enables remote management, scheduling, and data collection, facilitating efficient maintenance and optimizing lighting operations.

Preseving the Beauty of Dark Skies

The excessive brightening of the night sky by artificial light sources, is an ever-growing type of environmental light pollution, which severely endangers the habitats of our native flora and fauna in night. Through installing microwave presence detectors in street lighting can significantly improve this situation. When no motion is detected, the sensors can dim or switch off the lights, reducing unnecessary light spillage into nearby areas or the night sky. This preserves the natural darkness and enhances the quality of the nighttime environment.
