The smart lighting system is an advanced technology that enhances the efficiency and utility of urban and public lighting. Why is it important in the process of developing smart cities? What is its potential? Let's explore with NLT Group in the article below!
Current Trends in Smart Lighting
Along with urbanization, the problem of light pollution is increasing, for example, the misuse of uncontrolled light, excessive decorative lighting, etc., which are causing energy waste and posing many risks of fire and explosion.
In response to this situation, smart lighting solutions have emerged, with outstanding features. With the control of electronic brains, they help managers use light most optimally in terms of function, visual fields, urban aesthetics, especially reducing energy consumption, which can save up to 60% of energy consumption, contributing to achieving the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 that Vietnam committed to at COP26.
According to the Technical Infrastructure Department under the Ministry of Construction, the application of new technologies in the development of urban lighting systems is an optimal trend to save energy and protect electricity resources, reduce emissions, improve the quality of urban lighting, and minimize environmental impacts. This contributes to protecting the green, clean, and beautiful living environment.
What is the role of smart lighting management systems?
Optimally managing smart urban lighsystems enhances lighting efficiency, while providing convenience, savings, and safety for residents. This system can automatically adjust lighting times flexibly based on weather conditions (such as rain, storms) to ensure safety for traffic participants. In addition, the operating history of lighting stations is stored, providing a basis for the inspection and evaluation of the operation of the lighting network.
Smart lighting control systems are highly valued because of their practical value in creating a distinctive, modern, and civilized image of Vietnam's urban areas that traditional solutions cannot achieve.
IoT Technology - A prerequisite in managing smart lighting systems
IoT (Internet of Things) technology plays a key role in managing smart lighting systems, laying the groundwork for modern cities to develop sustainably and effectively. IoT allows lighting devices to connect with each other and with the central management system via the internet, bringing many superior benefits in managing and operating public lighting systems.
Initially, IoT focused on integrating LED lights with sensors and internet connections at a basic level. Now, IoT lighting systems have developed into a complex network, managed by software platforms, with the ability to observe and analyze data.
The operation mechanism of this technology is based on integrated sensors to trigger appropriate lighting modes or turn lights on and off in areas that need lighting according to preset settings. One of the outstanding advantages of this technology is its high level of automation, helping to maximize energy savings and use light most efficiently. Energy savings can reach up to 90% compared to traditional lighting technologies.

Top 6 Outstanding Features of Smart Lighting Systems
Smart lighting management systems have many outstanding features that enhance the efficiency, utility, and management capabilities of public lighting systems. Here are the main features of smart lighting management systems:
Establishing and updating the lighting network map through GIS technology
The system allows managers to collect and add information about the location, images, and status of lighting devices from the field or based on existing construction drawings. This data is analyzed and synchronized into the system, helping to create a lighting network map according to the needs of the authorities.
Accessing and exploiting the lighting map anytime, anywhere
The technology allows managers to access and manage the public lighting map from anywhere and on any device connected to the internet, including laptops, desktops, and smartphones.
Checking the status of cabinet systems and light bulbs via mobile devices
Managers can check the status of cabinet systems and light bulbs through mobile phones. Check data is synchronized with the system, helping to plan regular or unexpected inspections by area and route. The software automatically notifies and reminds the inspection schedule.
Receiving and responding to lighting malfunction requests 24/7
Technicians receive information about lighting faults such as broken bulbs, lights not working, etc., as soon as the system reports errors, shortening the time to handle incidents for residents, and then residents can provide feedback to the management through email or phone.
Receiving and responding to lighting malfunction requests 24/7
The system allows managers to monitor the lighting status through automatic alert mechanisms, thereby being able to remotely control the system when connected to the internet.
Managing and monitoring specialized vehicles
The system connects with specialized vehicles and monitoring devices, supporting the quick mobilization of vehicles in case of incidents, while visually monitoring their location on the map.
All of these features combine to create an efficient and convenient smart lighting management system, contributing to improving the quality of public lighting and better serving residents and communities.
