Outdoor lighting equipment - new solution for event managers

To any event managers, outdoor lighting controller is indispensable because of its utilities. It could be really convenient when having an outdoor lighting controller because it could save your time as well as save human force you use in an event.

 

 

The latest outdoor lighting controller systems must be equipped to meet today’s growing demands for lower energy consumption and reduced costs. Fitted with occupancy sensors, a lighting controller system can help save energy by dimming the light level of streetlights not during rush hour, such as the middle of the night. Further, a sophisticated outdoor lighting controller simplifies lighting infrastructure maintenance for outdoor lighting operators, such as municipalities, by notifying the operator when a lamp fails. This saves the cost of manpower verifying in person that lamps still work. Similarly, a outdoor lighting controller can precisely measure power consumption of outdoor light poles, which increases accuracy of the utilities.

Besides the outdoor outdoor lighting you probably also have some porch lights around the house. These lights are typically placed near the entrances of the house or on the side of the house. Because these lights are hanging on your house you can make them smart really easy. It just depends on the type of light you have.

 

A good thing to keep in mind is the protocol you are using for the smart outdoor lighting controller. If you have smart garden lights based on the Z-Wave protocol, We really recommend to also use the Z-Wave protocol on the porch lights. This way you will get a better signal in your garden to connect those outdoor lights.

 

With cities today becoming smarter and smarter, operators are interested in equipping outdoor lighting controller with a growing number of capabilities that reach far beyond providing light to an area. They include:
