It is a trend to replace traditional lights with LED lights, whether in commercial refrigerators or street lights or other lights, because LED lights have the advantage of saving energy.
The smart city transformation of Washington, D.C. will be powered by 75,000 inteliLIGHT® streetlight controllers. Лийшаш $309 million project will reduce energy use by more than 50%, improve equity of service, and extend Wi-Fi coverage in underserved neighborhoods.
Таче, the District of Columbia’s maintenance services department relies on its citizens to contact them to identify streetlight malfunctions. This is because the current urban lighting in Washington is based on older, high energy-consuming sodium lamps and remote monitoring and control was not yet available. That is about to change.
The District’s vision for a smarter, safer and more energy efficient city has brought intelligent urban lighting to the attention of the City Council, which recently approved a project to convert all the city’s street lights to energy-efficient LED technology with remote monitoring and control capabilities. The project plans to reduce the energy consumption by more than 50%, optimizing maintenance operations and enabling safer, more connected communities.
The new LED streetlights in D.C. will use inteliLIGHT smart street lighting NEMA controllers to provide individual lamp control and monitoring capabilities, city-wide grid awareness and real-time malfunction alerts. The project will use inteliLIGHT’s Streetlight Control Software to manage the lighting, while using API connectivity to integrate with the existing maintenance and workforce management software.
