European Streetlight Cost & Emissions - An Example
Growing Energy cost: 50 € per streetlight per year Outdoor light energy costs makes up to 40% of municipal budget Growing cost of electricity: +40% in the UK since 2001 CO² impact of 200 KG per streetlight per year Maintenance cost and limitations Expensive manual failure check Night patrols with cars and trucks Many hours between lamp failure and replacement Dark areas and broken lights lower safety and security Light pollution Energy wasted illuminating the sky Ecological damage to birds and insects Limited use of illumination for city centers beautification There is an ever growing awareness of our environment. Because of our growing highway density the environment suffers more and more from light pollution. Even in some cities people are complaining it is impossible to find a dark spot. In many cases there is no actual need for full light under many circumstances but because we cannot control it we leave it on even if not needed. The second driver for outdoor light management is the fact that energy prices are rising fast and have become unpredictable with the liberalization of energy market over time this will only get worse. Third reason is a very simple one people feel safer when it is light. In the cities when they are out on the street or on the highway when it is dark or the weather is bad. The fact that you can dim towards a dark area and let peoples eyes get used to the lower light levels also increase safety. Last but not least in a managed outdoor lighting system one knows when a pole is not lit and if this is at a dangerous areas like a pedestrian cross it is possible to take immediate action. Managing the light levels so that people keep on feeling save, while reducing energy consumption and sparing the environment are the key drivers. Additional advantages are the fact that the lamp live increases when it is dimmed smartly and even the luminaire wares out less quickly because less heat is generated. It is possible to decide smarter on group replacements or individual replacements when remaining lamp live can be calculated so maintenance cost is lower. Because the system is capable of dimming every single pole, measuring the consumed energy and maintaining the system up to a desired standard the users can get exactly what they want from the service provider. Since the status of every pole is know it is possible to match any service level and that makes people happy. It is also important a city looks good and is inviting to the tourists at night. City beautification projects are becoming more important and many cities are paying special attention to lighting up art, buildings or green areas to give the city a “warm look and feel”. And very important is the fact that the system allows for the management for more road functions like sidewalk heating, sewer system monitoring or the status of road furniture like bus stops. There is even already talk about the possibility to monitor the level of trash in the public trashcans to reduce the cost of emptying them. In Olso we are discussion a pilot to give people the possibility to increase the light level in their street by using their cell phone. For example when they want to walk the dog or bring visitors to their car when leaving late at night. This would be a charged service. I know it sounds futuristic. But hey, we also thought nobody would be interested in downloading “ring tones” when the idea was first launched. Today this is a multi billion dollar industry.

Idealized Dynamic Outdoor Lighting
Luminaires Individual luminaire on/off Individual step-less dimming Bulb status and burn hours Energy consumption per luminaire (calculated) Segment Automatic fault detection and notification Astronomical-clock driven schedules Energy consumption per segment (measured) Ambient light sensors for light level optimisation Management Centralized installation, maintenance and control Seamless integration with existing IT systems (billing, GIS, maintenance, etc.) Open and interoperable communication protocols Extensible infrastructure Traffic density measurement Weather sensors So what are the key functions you want in a dynamic outdoor lighting system? The system wish list looks like the one on the screen. It is important to be able to switch luminaries on or/off for lighting as well as for maintenance purposes. Second reason is that if a bulb is broken and the ballast is not switched off (flashing starts) than this reduces the ballast life tremendously. To be able to adjust the light level to the preferred (or needed) level gradual dimming is required. For maintenance purposes it is necessary to calculate the lamp burning hours and even more important the remaining burning hours. For the service provider it is important to know what is used. If the energy consumption is based on the light level and therefore on the weather situation and the amount of natural light it is important to measure the amount of energy used. Predicting is it no longer possible and due to the deregulation no longer allowed either. The luminance metering is important to know the amount of light one has on the road at all times. For legal reason in many countries one needs to comply to the regulations (dimming or not). To be able to adjust the light level to the traffic density one has to know how many cars are passing per minute and preferably the average speed. Interesting is that the university of Trondheim has actually proved that the average speed can be influenced by 20% if the light levels change. The more light the higher the speed. In busy areas this is a good way of managing traffic as well. The information needs to b put I a central database to be bale to use it further. Second the system needs to have the capability to centrally control the light. The preferred HMI in almost all cases is the Geographical Information System. In 90% of the cases this is already in place and the outdoor lighting system needs to be integrated with it. The same goes for the other existing IT systems like the billing system, the work order system and the ERP systems. The service providers have these all on place and so do the cities and road authorities. They are no going to add redundant systems to run their road light. It needs to be possible to integrate the outdoor lighting system seamlessly into the exiting environment. The system needs to be media independent. In some cases there is fiber along the highway but in almost all cases UMTS or GPRS are the preferred ways to connect. The system needs to support all modem types available. The fact that a City or other Government authority cannot be locked into a proprietary solution is clear. It is illegal to specify anything that is proprietary and if you not do this you end up with all kinds of different systems and that is too expensive. LonWorks as an ANSI 709 standard allows to mix and match systems from different vendors.

European Costs Benefit Analysis
Cost < 250 € per streetlight Electronic dimmable ballast … < 90 € Outdoor Lighting Controller … < 110 € Segment Controller including Software … 10 € per streetlight GPRS Communication … 10 € per streetlight (incl. 10 years) Installation … 30 € per streetlight Benefits Up to 50% energy savings … 25 € per streetlight in average Remove night patrol … 4 € per streetlight in average Lamp change savings … 5 € per streetlight Energy certificate … 5 € per streetlight (depend on countries) Reduce onsite trips … 7 € per streetlight Return on Investment < 4 years in countries with high price of electricity (Portugal, Ireland, China, …) < 5 years when segments have 250W and 400W HPS lamps < 3 years for Parking Lots (high wattages + possibility to dim lower in the middle of the night) < 3 years for Warehouses (high wattages, dimming based on presence) The point being that our PL tech price is negligible in the big scheme of things. So why be stingy and choose alternatives (like RF) even if slightly cheaper (maybe)?
