Efficient street lighting control via cloud connection

• For operators of street lighting systems, efficient and energy-saving system control is extremely important.
• Phoenix Contact offers scalable systems, from simple switching procedures through to complex lighting algorithms.
• Phoenix Contact is already offering the appropriate technology in preparation for future applications or changes to specifications for public facilities (e.g., video monitoring).

Today, LED technology is the preferred choice for lighting roads, public plazas, subways, and similar areas and is gradually replacing conventional lighting concepts.

Typically, the huge potential of LED technology is not, however, fully utilized. Simply replacing the bulbs is indeed advantageous, but cannot be fully effective without additional measures. Potential cost savings can only be achieved with optimum control of the light fixtures - i.e., more energy-efficient operation. Modern street lighting should also include additional applications that go beyond pure lighting.

Phoenix Contact offers products and solutions for street lighting that can either be integrated by manufacturers of lighting systems or installed as additional modules.

The range covers electromechanical products for decades-long operation through to the connection of lighting fixtures to cloud systems. The company has developed charging systems for E-Mobility, for example, that are integrated directly in the lamp post. Light manufacturers can also purchase standardized interfaces for invoice management based on cloud technologies.
