Street Light Solutions to Save Cities on Utility Costs
Smart technology provides remote lighting control that can more accurately adjust, modify and monitor the amount of time the lights are turned on and to what extent.
According to a new report from UK-based Juniper Research, the widespread deployment of smart street lighting solutions could save up to $15 billion by 2023.
If you think about how many streetlamps you pass on your daily drive home from work, it’s likely pretty high. Now think about all the unnecessary energy consumption being wasted on those same lights at 2 a.m., when the streets are less traveled. It’s not okay to assume that it should be dark and no lights are needed when streets have less traffic – that’s simply unsafe. However, by adding intelligence and control into smart lighting offerings, we can drastically reduce energy expenses and power consumption.
