Within the framework of the “Wipperfurth Smart City” project, Osram modernizes street lighting in the Wipperfürth (Germany). The basis of the project was the installation of intelligent LED columns, equipped with individual control modules, implemented with the help of special software.

Each of the installed LED lights is capable of transmitting information via Bluetooth, which users will receive via the application on the smartphone. Such data may contain advertisements relevant to the location of the user.

In the future, the functionality of intelligent street lights can be supplemented by sensors that collect various information about the terrain in which the user is located.

The LED lamp, developed by Firefly LED (USA), can significantly reduce the cost of electricity. According to the creators of the device, the lamp can safely last for 40 years, without the need for a replacement.

A special feature of such lamps is the use of a large radiator surrounded by a light source. A radiator is necessary in order to remove heat from the lamp. Thus, it is possible to significantly extend the lifetime of the lighting device.

The cost of the Firefly lamp starts at about $ 35 (Starfly PAR20 model), which is a serious investment for such a device. But if you believe the official specifications, the product can pay off in just a few months and will achieve significant energy savings of 40 years.

For the company IVT BelGU, the quality of the equipment and services provided is of great importance. IVT strives to constantly improve its products and monitor its compliance with the current requirements of the customer and the market, regularly releasing new versions of the company’s products.

The latest upgrading, carried out by the specialists of the IVT, was the updating of the software of the “Helios” automated outdoor lighting control system. Taking into account the wishes of customers, the current version of the system`s software has been modified to improve the efficiency and reliability of the system.

By improving our products, we take care of the comfort and safety of our customers.

The most modern and effective way to control outdoor lighting can be considered the use of automated control systems. The use of such systems allows to achieve significant savings (almost twofold) due to the reduction of electricity costs for street lighting. The introduction of these systems significantly improves the quality of lighting and contributes to reducing the number of accidents on emergency areas of the road.

“Helios” automated outdoor lighting control system developed by the company IVT BelGU is the most optimal solution for both street lighting and road and motorway lighting. The introduction of intelligent devices that control LED lights on one of the highways in the Belgorod region, contributes to improving the safety of road users by improving the quality of lighting and saves up to 30% of electricity.

The work on the development of energy-saving and energy-efficient technologies, carried out by the IVT BelGU in Belgorod Region, is evaluated not only at the regional, but also at the federal level.

As a result of the open Internet voting IVT BelGU took second place at the Third national competition in the sphere of implemented energy saving projects and improve energy efficiency ENES-2016 in the nomination “The best project for the modernization of street lighting”.

Previously, IVT BelGU won the regional stage of the competition ENES-2016 by presenting implemented project of the introduction of automated outdoor lighting control system “Helios” in the Belgorod region.

The award ceremony will take place in the framework of the Fifth International Forum on energy efficiency programs and energy development ENES in Moscow on 23-24 November 2016.

IVT BelSU takes part at the first in the world online exhibition «Decorative and Technic Lighting 2016», which runs from July 1 to 16 at swyto.com.

Modern technologies allow to make the exhibition process more affordable, allowing learn more about our developments and achievements in the field of intelligent lighting in the online mode.

We invite you to visit our online stand. Exhibition is free of charge.

We are pleased to participate in the event of new format as online exhibition and share our experience in the field of lighting automation and energy-saving technology!

The problem of poor street lighting exists in many localities, on road sections and highways. There are building codes with requirements to the level of street lighting, the violation of which threatens fines for service companies. Besides this, low-quality road lighting increases the probability of an accident. These problems are difficult to solve because of the minimum budget for the modernization of street lighting.

IVT BelSU has developed a standalone dimming device which allows you to adjust the light flow using the energy-saving burning algorithm. The device does not require the use of expensive automated outdoor lighting control system and remote controlled driver. This solution is suitable for the implementation of energy efficient outdoor lighting of roads and highways with a minimum budget.

Autonomous dimmed device is given a schedule of work and periods of dimming lamps. Parameters of the burning time and dimming can be reconfigured for a maximum energy efficiency. The device is a dimmer unit that can be mounted within the lamp, and out. This solution is applicable for all types of lamps.

Our company is interested in supplying to the market the most energy-efficient and affordable solution.

Lighting requirements are regularly increasing now, and energy-efficient technologies are rapidly spreading around the world. New innovative solutions are cost-effective, environmentally safe, and are aimed at improving the quality of life.

IVT BelSU has been developed a variety of lighting control technologies, taking into account market trends, customer needs and experiences in the field of outdoor lighting automation. The company has created lamp control devices such as HPS, LED, induction lamps.

”Helios” electronic ballast is control device for high-pressure sodium lamps (HPS), has a built-in PLC-modem and individual lamp control function, also dimming function and address diagnosis of the bulb states. IVT BelSU offers a wide range of electronic ballasts “Helios” different rated power: 70 W, 100 W, 150 W, 250 W, 400 W.

Unlike most similar devices on the market of lighting, “Helios” electronic ballast has a built-in PLC modem. Therefore, the lamps controlled by the existing power line, so don`t need additional pad control cable or radio organization.

“Helios” electronic ballast is supported on the lamp power constant, regardless of the input voltage, thereby increasing the life of the lamp. If the input voltage becomes critical value, the device is switched off, while keeping the lamp and its operability.

LEDs and, in some cases, induction lamps are currently the most energy efficient solutions in the field of outdoor lighting. Therefore, the control issue of these types of lighting is quite relevant. IVT BelSU has developed three versions of PLC-modems to control LED and induction lamps: PLC-DALI, PLC-PWM, PLC-0-10. The desired type of device is chosen depending on the integrated interface of lamp-managed drivers.

PLC-modems allow you to manage each lamp as a stand-alone, according to a predetermined schedule, and through “Helios” automated outdoor lighting control system. The use of the control device in conjunction with the automated outdoor lighting control system provides benefits such as:

• complete controllability and observability;
• energy savings up to 40%, by reducing the lamp brightness (dimming) from 100% to 50%;
• lower maintenance costs of outdoor lighting system with remote control and monitoring of the state of lamps (repair crews known beforehand the place and nature of the damage).

Economic effect of the implementation and the optimum cost of the developed of IVT BelSU control devices allows you to actively use these solutions in the realization of energy service contracts. Application area of developed by IVT BelSU lighting control devices is wide, there are:

• street lighting;
• road and highways lighting;
• industrial lighting;
• gas station lighting;
• marketplaces lighting ;
• parks and recreation areas;
• sports objects.

Lighting control solutions developed by Institute of high technologies of Belgorod State University today carried out in 19 regions of Russia, in the neighboring countries, as well as widely used for modernization the lighting in large enterprises. Our company provides a full range of works on modernization of external lighting, starting with the pre-project survey and completing the project.

We stand for intelligent lighting!
