In the process of building smart cities, in addition to achieving resource sharing, intensification, and coordination, and improving urban operational efficiency, energy conservation, emission reduction, and green environmental protection are also basic and critical aspects. Urban road lighting can be regarded as a major consumer of electricity and energy in cities, and the characteristics and applications of smart street lights and intelligent lighting systems make significant contributions and roles in this regard. So, what is an intelligent lighting system? What is the significance of smart street lights and intelligent lighting systems? This article will continue to explore smart street lights around these two issues.

What is an intelligent lighting system
The intelligent lighting system collects data from users, environment, and other factors through various sensors for analysis, in order to provide intelligent and information-based applications for device adjustment.

The significance of intelligent lighting system
1. Energy conservation and emission reduction
The intelligent lighting control system utilizes various “pre-set” control methods and control components to accurately set and manage the light intensity in different environments at different times, achieving the effect of energy conservation. This automatic adjustment of illuminance can fully utilize the natural light outside, turn on the lights as needed or to the desired brightness, and use the least amount of energy to ensure the required illuminance level. The energy-saving effect can generally reach more than 30%.
2. Extend the lifespan of the light source
Whether it is a thermal radiation light source or a gas discharge light source, fluctuations in grid voltage are a major cause of light source damage. Suppressing voltage fluctuations in the power grid can effectively extend the lifespan of the light source. The intelligent lighting control system can be used in lighting and hybrid circuits, with strong adaptability. It can work continuously and stably in various harsh power grid environments and complex load conditions, while effectively extending the life of lighting fixtures and reducing maintenance costs.
3. Improve the environment and increase efficiency
Reasonably selecting light sources, lighting fixtures, and excellent lighting control systems can help improve lighting quality. The intelligent lighting control system replaces traditional flat switch control lamps with dimming module control panels, which can effectively control the illumination value of the area and improve the uniformity of illumination.
4. Multiple lighting effects
Multiple lighting control methods can give the same building multiple artistic effects, adding a lot of color to the building. In modern buildings, lighting should not only meet the visual effects of brightness and darkness, but also have multiple control schemes to make the building more vivid, artistic, and give people rich visual effects and beauty.
Adopting a smart street light intelligent lighting control system can not only save a lot of money, but also greatly reduce the workload of management and operation personnel. While reducing the operating costs of the lighting system, the efficiency of management and maintenance has also been improved.
