For modern cities, smart lighting is becoming an indispensable solution to ensure safety, comfort and sustainable development. Join NLT Group to learn a detailed article about why urban streets need smart lighting along with the requirements and typical projects in the field of lighting.
Why do modern urban streets need smart lighting?
Urbanization is occurring rapidly globally, leading to an increasing demand for street lighting. However, traditional lighting systems not only consume a lot of energy but also cause safety and management problems.
Smart lighting was born to solve these challenges by combining modern lighting technology with smart control and monitoring systems. Thanks to that, smart lighting solutions bring many benefits to modern cities:
- Significant energy savings: Smart LED lights can adjust lighting levels according to actual needs, helping to save up to 50-70% energy compared to traditional lights.
- Improve traffic safety and prevent crime: Uniform lighting, no dark spots and intelligent control according to activity help enhance visibility, ensure safety for pedestrians and prevent crime.
- Minimize environmental impact: Smart lighting saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to green, sustainable urban development.
- Flexible management and operation: Centralized monitoring system allows easy and effective control, monitoring and maintenance of lighting systems.
What elements are needed for smart urban street lighting solutions?
In order for a smart lighting system for urban areas to operate effectively and meet the requirements of energy saving, improving safety and management capabilities, the following factors need to be ensured:
- Smart LED lighting system:
- Using high intensity LED lights, consumes less energy than traditional lights such as fluorescent lights and sodium lights.
- Long lifespan, typically 50,000 - 100,000 hours, helps reduce replacement and maintenance costs.
- Ability to flexibly adjust lighting levels through intelligent control system, optimizing energy consumption.
- Integrate sensors and IoT connection modules to collect and transmit data to the management system.

- Centralized lighting management platform:
- Allows status monitoring and remote control of each lighting point through the central control interface.
- Integrate the ability to program and automate lighting modes according to schedules, traffic density or environmental conditions.
- Provides detailed data on lighting levels and energy consumption to analyze and optimize the system.
- Support asset management, maintenance planning and problem detection effectively.
- Integrating IoT and AI technology:
- Applying IoT technology to connect and collect data from smart lighting devices seamlessly.
- Use artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics to analyze lighting needs and behavior based on collected data.
- Apply AI algorithms to automatically optimize lighting levels, minimize energy waste and enhance user experience.
- Ensure data security and privacy:
- Apply network security measures to prevent external threats such as network attacks, viruses, etc.
- Encrypt data transmitted between devices and management systems to ensure integrity and security.
- Authenticate and control user access to systems to protect data privacy.
- Comply with applicable data security and privacy regulations and standards.
- Compatibility and extensibility:
- Smart lighting solutions need to be compatible with existing urban infrastructure to be easily deployed.
- Ability to flexibly scale the lighting system as demand increases in the future.
- Supports integration with other smart urban systems such as traffic, security monitoring,...
- Acts as part of a unified data and management platform for smart cities.
With the combination of the above factors, smart lighting solutions will meet the goals of saving energy, improving safety and effective management, contributing to building a modern, eco-friendly urban lighting system. environmentally friendly.
Smart urban street lighting projects in Vietnam
The rapid urbanization trend has promoted many smart lighting projects deployed in Vietnam in recent years:
- Ho Chi Minh City urban lighting system development project for the period 2020-2030: The program will be implemented in 2021, to plan and reorient the development and management of urban lighting systems with the goal of installing smart lighting systems for 100 main roads in the city. The LED lighting system is integrated with a smart management system, allowing remote control and monitoring. The project is expected to help save 40% of energy consumption for street lighting, reduce CO2 emissions and improve people's quality of life.
- Hanoi capital urban lighting and power supply planning project for the period 2023-2030, vision to 2050: Deploying over 30,000 lighting points, ensuring the city area is lit according to standards, safely, effectively and saving electricity; Reach 100% of urban roads, at least 80% of alleys and hamlets are illuminated; Invest in building urban public lighting systems that meet standards and are safe in operation and maintenance.
- Smart lighting project in Da Nang: Da Nang has installed more than 35% of energy-saving LED lights from 40-80% of the total public lighting, helping to save 25% of electricity. The work of replacing old sodium lamps with LED lamps and upgrading lighting systems is being implemented on many roads. Da Nang uses the Public Lighting Monitoring and Control Center to operate and control the system appropriately and save energy. Measures such as adjusting lighting modes, shortening operating time for old lights, and multi-mode operation with LED lights are being applied. The goal is to completely replace all old lights with new, high-performance technology lights by 2025 to save electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
