1 „Corn“

• Replacement of old light sources (high pressure sodium)

after LED lights called „Corn“.
• Price of revitalization of one light point: 50 EUR*.

This solution is very simple and inexpensive but has one major
drawback. Troublesome cooling reduces significantly the life and
luminous efficacy of the LED light.

2 LED light source retrofit

• Replacement of a part of the luminaire with new ones

(e.g. high pressure sodium lamps).
• The revitalization price of one light spot: 150 EUR*.

Again a relatively easy solution. The question remains, however,

power driver LED chip whether there is a suitable and especially high-quality retrofit
for you. Here, too, we encounter troublesome cooling problems.

3 Replacement lighting fixture

• Replace old lights fixtures with new ones.

• The price of revitalization of one light spot:
- high quality LED - 200 EUR*.

Complete replacement of the luminaires brings higher costs,

but it will certainly pay off, ideally combining the replacement
of luminaires with the installation of smart drivers.

Communication
module • Complete replacement of public lighting including
masts, wiring and lights.
• Price of revitalization of one light spot: 250 EUR*.

We recommend this option for installations older than 30 years. With

new luminaires it is always wise to add smart control. We supply our
modules directly in the luminaires or as an external device.

BTS

The main component of the infrastructure is the LoRA/NB-IoT LPWAN network that provides connectiv-
ity for IoT devices in Smart City. BTS (Base Transceiver Station) receives commands from the backend
server and sends them wirelessly to the individual light actuators. They process and execute the command
(ON/OFF or the desired brightness setting).

The actuators are also equipped with sensors that detect the ambient parameters or input activation and
send this information via the BTS back to the server, which evaluates, displays and can trigger the appropri-
ate action.

The original public lighting in this area was

equipped with discharge lamps with sodium
sources. This solution had a number of negative
aspects, including inter alia higher electricity
consumption. Not only that the sodium lamps
themselves are consuming a lot of energy, the
lights were also lit all night. This is often unnec-
essary, especially in the morning. Lighting con-
trols were implemented using a twilight switch.
The lighting circuit was switched on via the
power control in the switchboard. But it was
not able to respond adequately.

The new lights saves electricity by using more en-

ergy-efficient LED light sources and it is also set
to reduce the lighting intensity by use of the time
program. This can be changed at any time by the
software that can also be set and configured. Of
course the lamps are divided into groups, but you
can control each lamp individually. The system is
therefore highly variable, and it will recover the
cost. All communication is secured by the local
independent BTS station. It is conveniently posi-
tioned to ensure seamless communication with
intelligent components installed directly on the
smart light columns.
