Smart Lighting
Cities are developing and changing every day. Therefore, technology needs to adapt to the changing pace of urban life. This means that all areas of urban life, such as lighting, are considered.
It has created smart city lighting to improve people's quality of life and to see it in an easy-to-see and easy-to-assess way. Intelligent network lighting helps daylight utilization systems reduce the need for excess electrical energy. By automating the process, you can select brightness levels and track daily usage. These things should improve the city's ability to be more environmentally friendly and better.
Smart lighting solutions could be controlled by smartphones or smart assistants, operated on schedules, or triggered by sound or motion.
Smart city lighting was created to improve quality of life and make it easier to see at night, reduce the usage of electricity and make sure citizens will feel safe. Smart lighting helps the daylight utilisation system reduce the need for excess electrical energy. By automating the process of lighting, you can select brightness levels and track daily usage. These things improve the ability of cities to be more environmentally friendly and better everyday.
What is Smart Lighting
Smart lighting uses Iot-enabled sensors, light bulbs, or adapters to allow users to manage their home, office building or even street lighting. Smart lighting solutions can be controlled via external devices such as smartphones and smart assistants, operated on schedule or enabled by sound or motion sensors.
Value Proposition
Smart lighting is a lighting technology designed for energy efficiency, comfort and protection. All of this includes highly efficient lighting and automated controls that adapt to conditions as occupancy and availability or adapts with natural lighting.
What are the values of smart lighting and what is in the way of its implementation. Smart lighting has many advantages and disadvantages. But what are the values of it? It could be cost and energy savings. But first, let’s understand and differentiate the value of smart lighting. Everyone knows that installing and running this technology is not very expensive. Earlier technologies required a lot more maintenance, manual work and also involvement of utility companies.
If there is any electrical issue with the older lighting, you need to call an electrician to do the work. It’s not very time efficient neither for you nor for the utility company. Another value proposition is that it helps with the company costs. When you’re not using the smart lighting technology you use a lot more electricity compared to using smart lighting. So there are few value propositions of smart lighting.
How it works?
With smart lighting, you could control the lighting of your building more efficiently. Smart lighting replaces traditional light bulbs that are screwed into existing outlets in the facility. Narrowband-connected lighting connects all the light bulbs and allows you to control the lighting of the building from one central location.
Smart remote lighting management system is a proven concept that uses different communication protocols in hundreds of existing projects around the world. The NB-IoT protocol is ideal for smart lighting because it targets IoT applications with low bandwidth requirements. As a part of the LTE standard, NB-IoT can be supported within the existing LTE infrastructure, providing carrier-level reliability and security, as well as outstanding permeability and stability.
The functionality of smart lighting: Use the smart lighting technology to reduce energy consumption.
Daylight sensing: Smart lighting technology using electronic control measuring the daylight light and it has automatic resource measurement to see if it's time to turn on or off lights.
Occupancy sensing:
Smart lighting utilises occupancy sensors that can work in unison with other lighting connected to the same network to adjust lighting per various conditions.
Did you know?
Narrowband-connected lighting connects all the light bulbs and allows you to control the lighting of the building from one central location.
Benefits
Smart lighting is redefining people’s relationships with the living in the city and changing their use habits. And with smart lights the benefits are immediate.
For example:
Change the lighting in your property from anywhere.
Enjoy more control over the lighting effects in your property. No need to install switches.
Establish automatic lighting schedules around your lifestyle.
Different communities are trying to differentiate themselves from their neighbours using smart lighting.
With special additions, smart lights can help to guide nighttime traffic after concerts and shows.
Improve visibility in harsh air conditions.
IoT-linked hardware enables new control schemes that can make the city life safer and more attractive.
