his study aims to evaluate the feasibility of LED-based street lighting by analyzing
energy efficiency and life cycle cost. For this purpose, a comparison of the lighting
energy consumption by dimming control in Wooi Stream as a test bed project was
conducted and the life cycle cost of LED lamps for replacing HPS lamps for street
lighting was analyzed. As a result, LED lamp replacement could reduce the energy
consumption by 69% compared to HPS lamps, and the dimming control system by
pedestrian movements could save 77% of lighting energy

streetlighting solution. This entails connecting 64,000 streetlights across the city
replaced as Sheffield’s). This upgrade was forecasted to reduce its £3.2 million
annually energy expenditure by 50%, and since deployment the figure is more
likely to reach 60%. Its projected to save them £54 million over a 20-year period .
Nowadays, control systems for lighting installations are used, among other
functionality, to improve energy efficiency and to set different lighting outputs of
the luminaires according to punctual requirements. This allows increasing energy
efficiency by adapting the installation to environmental needs. Current control
systems are mainly oriented to point-2-point architectures, which in most cases,
are complex and expensive.
Smart cities require smart street lighting systems, and India therefore needs a
770 million incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, could be used as the blueprint for
this.Under the initiative, over 36 Cr LEDs have been installed contributing to over
47,000 million kWh energy savings, over INR 18,800 Cr cost savings, and over 3.8
Smart streetlights are making cities safer
and more sustainable.
Making Cities More Sustainable With Smart
Lights
● Adopting smart streetlights could give smart cities the opportunity to
swap current lights out for LEDs. LEDs are much more energy-
efficient and long-lasting than standard lights on average.
● According to research from the Environmental Security Technology
Certification Program (ESTCP) and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University, intelligent and energy-efficient LEDs
