Smart cities aren’t just a concept or a dream of the future. Thanks to the wildly innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, many are already active and expanding rapidly. Lighting is one of the most essential electrical infrastructures in a city and is one of the most demanding in terms of high energy consumption and resource expenditure. Smart and IoT technology provides remote lighting control that can more accurately adjust, modify and monitor the amount of time the lights are turned on and to what extent. As a result, it is clear why smart LED lighting has emerged as one of the key role players in smart cities and the IoT.

Street lights help to create a network canopy, allowing more data to utilized to improve public safety for a smarter and more widespread public surveillance

For homeowners, smart lighting enables lights to behave as though there was someone at home. With smart lighting users can change colour or brightness in every room and even control them from a smartphone from anywhere in the world.

Even, in the world of technical welfare, the smart lighting can be customizable with integrating surveillance camera as well, which is capable of record, store live image, videos of any phenomenon as well.

Thanks to smart lighting units and intelligent management systems to control them, cities benefit from lowered energy consumption, this brings economic and environmental benefits.

Smart lighting management systems offer real-time diagnostics, reducing maintenance costs, and consumption meaning lighting becomes more efficient. Real time monitoring helps to record each and every equipment of the system, so if any of the equipment is having problem, necessary actions can be taken instantly before it gets worse and spend loads of bucks.

With the advancement of technology, traditional lighting sources need to upgrade to smart LED lighting to meet the demands of modern populations. With IoT connectivity, smart lighting collects, monitors and sends real-time usage data so civil authorities and city planners can utilize actionable data to better improve lighting infrastructure.

It’s estimated that switching to smart LED lighting could save 40% of total lighting energy. It is quite possible to save a great deal of money by improving energy efficiency at this level in cities that could be appropriated to other projects to improve urban areas.

As cities look at transforming into smart cities, we'll see a higher uptake of smart LED lighting to lower energy consumption and create more sustainable cities.

Considering all the demands of advanced smart lighting technology, Everexceed has developed IOT street light solution and alsosurveillance system integrated with street lightwhich heavily depended on IOT technology.
