THE CHALLENGE
Street lighting is an essential community service, but it can consume as much as 40 percent of a municipal energy budget. Replacing legacy fixtures with LEDs saves energy but doesn’t allow lighting operators the ability to remotely monitor and maintain these systems. Without smart controls, reporting outages falls on consumers, resulting in poor customer satisfaction and safety concerns.
ITRON APPROACH
Smart lighting systems can reduce energy and cut operational costs by 70 percent or more. Operators gain real-time visibility and control of their lighting systems with features like instant outage alerts. By layering on advanced motion sensors, lights can dynamically dim or brighten based on the presence or absence of humans and real-time conditions—maximizing safety, energy efficiency and savings.
BENEFITS
- Reduce wasted energy
- Enhance safety on the roadways
- Optimize lighting levels for real-time conditions
- Improve customer satisfaction
