Smart street lights refer to the realization of remote centralized control and management of street lights through application of information and Internet of Things communication technology. Smart street lights have functions such as automatic brightness adjustment according to traffic flow, remote lighting control, active fault alarm, and lamp cable anti-theft, which can greatly save power resources, improve public lighting management, and save maintenance costs. At the same time, it can integrate environmental monitoring, video monitoring, information release and other functions into one. Simply put, it means being able to understand instructions, transmit signals, perceive the city, and save energy and environmental protection. Does it sound "tall", let's take a look at its "elegance".

At present, urban street lamp management relies on traditional "manual inspections", which is inefficient and labor intensive, and it is impossible to understand the operation of street lamps in the first time.

Smart street lights rely on the "Internet + street lights" mode, and all street lights can be remotely "visualized" and monitored in real time through one APP. According to the person in charge of the project, you only need to log in to the APP, click on the ‘turn on the lights’ according to the day’s lighting conditions in the city, and the street lights on the street will turn on. In addition, all the lights on the management interface are clear at a glance, so that managers no longer have to patrol the streets.

"Understand instructions" is another advantage of smart street lights. Through the management system, you can manage the main road lights and auxiliary road lights according to actual needs with the click of a button. For example, in the early morning when there are few cars, the auxiliary road lights are set to go out or the main street lights are turned on every other. This effectively solves the current “one size fits all” problem of street lighting.

In the intelligent street lamp system, each street lamp has a unique "ID card", which records the detailed location of the street lamp, the brand of the lamp, etc. Once a "disease" occurs, it will "alarm" the control center; for some system settings It can also perform simple self-repair based on the "big data" stored in its past operations, which ensures that the street lamp can be repaired as soon as it fails.

When the traffic volume is heavy, the voltage is low and the street lights are not bright enough. At night, there are few vehicles on the road, and the brightness of street lights increases as the voltage rises, resulting in waste of illuminance and even light pollution. This is a problem facing urban street light management.

Smart street light cleverly solves this problem, it can optimize the brightness of the lighting according to the actual demand situation. For example, you can adjust the lighting brightness to 60% when the sky is not completely dark, and then set the brightness to 100% when the night is over. Operating data shows that after scientific regulation, smart street lamps can save energy by about 30% compared to traditional street lamps, and the effect is remarkable. They are green energy-saving street lamps.
