Canada's largest intelligent LED street light project is special

In December, a milestone in Montreal, Canada, 50000 streetlights were replaced by LED lights, this shift also includes the deployment of an intelligent lighting management system at the same time.

this is a five-year $82 million ( 65 million pounds, 5. 6. 5 billion yuan) Part of the project, the project aims to Montreal into an innovative city. It is understood that the ultimate goal of the street light project is 13. 20000 replace the LED street lamp illuminant, known as Canada's largest intelligent LED street lamp project so far.

a key element of this project is complete interoperability between various systems. Project engineer Isabelle Lessard said, this is the best way to get the unique and advanced platform, without having to rely on a single supplier of technical constraints.

the project manager and system integrator is Quebec enterprise & Eacute; nerge re。 DimOnOff, is a company specializing in lighting control system of Quebec, is selected to provide integration platform, management software, and 20% of nodes and gateways. In addition, 60% of GE's Current company provided before. Global leader in the field of Wireless Telematic Wireless is to provide the final 20% of nodes and gateways.

the city has asked intelligent lighting management system in the first phase of the project as soon as possible, this means that must be implemented at the same time the lamp replacement and necessary for the development of network infrastructure.

a month about 6000 high pressure sodium lamp is replaced with LED lights. The city estimates that the installation of LED lights will save 60% of the energy consumption and 55% of the cost of equipment maintenance.

it is worth mentioning that this new type of LED lights also received & other; The dark sky & throughout; Certification, thanks to their custom beam direction, means that greatly reduces the light pollution and disturbance to the animals sleep around.

because of the color and contrast enhancement, new urban lighting can improve the visibility of different road users, to improve safety. Near park and environment places of street light, the color temperature is set to 1800 k, the city, says it does not interfere with the circadian rhythm of animals.

in fact, last year, according to reports in Montreal, the city is street lamp light source change into LED to make a decision, due to people's health problems in the high temperature may bring some doubts, the municipal government has been considering sure use which color temperature of products.

in addition to environmental benefits, a new intelligent lighting system also provides the residents in cities and other benefits. For example, the intelligent lighting management system can real-time measuring energy consumption, according to the weather conditions, traffic conditions, or outdoor activities to adjust the light intensity, and can in the case of a street lamp damage or malfunction of rapid intervention.

in addition, the lamp will also and the smart city can make use of some of the future potential applications, such as snow and flood detection, combined pollution monitoring and waste management, etc. The biggest intelligent LED street lamp project launch will make Montreal the a & other; Smart city & throughout; 。
