Street LED lighting in Cardiff

The Philips Lighting intelligent lighting system will be deployed in Cardiff (Wales). It is planned to install more than 14 000 LED flashlights, united in a managed digital network. A further upgrade of the smart system is possible, including scaling and modification of luminaires.

The remote control system will allow monitoring of the lighting line and controlling the operation of the luminaires. The alarm function in case of emergency situations will allow the operative personnel to respond quickly and repair the malfunction in a short time. Also with the help of intelligent lighting it is possible to control the brightness of the luminaires. In this case, the mode of maximum illumination is provided in areas requiring special attention (for example, pedestrian crossings).

The Cardiff administration expects that the introduction of a smart lighting system will provide 60% savings by improving the indicators of energy saving in street lighting and reducing the cost of operating the equipment.
