- High-efficiency PHILIPS SMD3030 LED technology
- Microwave motion detection
- Automatic light control
- Timer-based operation management
- Professional lighting engineering design
- DIALux Evo simulation and optimization
The upgraded lighting system achieved approximately 30% energy saving improvement, while improving illumination quality, operational flexibility, and long-term maintenance efficiency.
Project Background
Modernizing Municipal Lighting Infrastructure in Lyon
Many European cities are facing similar challenges:
- Aging street lighting infrastructure
- Increasing electricity costs
- Higher carbon reduction requirements
- Need for intelligent city management
- Demand for safer nighttime environments
Traditional lighting systems usually operate at fixed power levels throughout the night, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption during periods of low traffic.
For Lyon’s urban road network, the objective was not only to replace outdated lamps but also to establish a smarter lighting management system.
The project required:
✔ Higher lighting efficiency
✔ Lower operating costs
✔ Intelligent brightness adjustment
✔ Reliable performance under European climate conditions
✔ Compliance with European safety standards
Project Challenges
Existing Road Lighting Problems
Before the upgrade, the road lighting system faced several limitations:
1. High Energy Consumption
Traditional lighting operated continuously at full output regardless of road usage conditions.
This created unnecessary electricity consumption during low-traffic periods.
2. Limited Lighting Management Capability
The existing system lacked:
- Real-time environmental response
- Motion-based adjustment
- Automatic scheduling
- Intelligent operation control
3. Maintenance Pressure
Municipal lighting networks require:
- Long service life
- Stable operation
- Reduced replacement frequency
- Lower maintenance costs
