Smart Lighting to save energy

Thanks to the installation of smart luminaires in 2019, energy consumption was almost halved with a single click of the mouse to dim certain groups of luminaires at certain times. All standards remain met and safety is guaranteed.

connexx-CEO Hannes Wohlgemuth explains: "We identified further potential savings and implemented these together with the responsible planner and the local authority: for example, we increased the dimming in the hours after midnight, thereby reducing energy consumption."

The smart luminaires can be controlled by software via a cloud solution. One major advantage is the ability to group luminaires to create different lighting scenarios for different areas of a city.

Thanks to the smart system, the system in Villanders was also directly prepared for the new lighting law of July 5 (Provincial Decree No. 477), which stipulates a 50% reduction in night-time lighting. This shows once again that smart lighting demonstrates its strength in reacting flexibly to rapidly changing circumstances.
