The concept of “smart city” has different
meanings in different cultures and can
sound elusive until you break it down
into practical terms. Therefore, in a short
time, smart LED lights could use fifty per
cent less power than traditional lights.
Soon, as poles become “smart”, they
could form the digital backbone of a city,
giving citizens – and officials – real-time,
accurate information on anything from
rush hour delays to air quality. In this
perspective, PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING
offers single luminaire controls: Time
switches, dimmable and sensor versions.
These simple controls offer reliable
savings with little effort. Solutions give
the option of dimming by fifty per cent at
night without requiring external control
wiring where settings can be easily
customised or deactivated. Respectively,
RPA (Automatic Power Reduction) and
RPP (Pilot Power Reduction) are some
examples. For that reason, PERFORMANCE
iN LIGHTING offers SMART fixtures suitable
for ZHAGA and NEMA socket seven-pin
for external remote-control systems
and group connection. In this way,
every city could use their management
system and platforms waiting for further
developments on this imaginative
thematic.
