Energy efficiency shines at Smart Lighting Summit 

The Australian Smart Lighting Summit took place in Melbourne recently to discuss strategies and new technology for public lighting retrofits aimed at reducing energy consumption and costs.

Hosted by City of Melbourne, over 200 lighting industry and sustainability professionals attended the event to see presentations, panel and roundtable discussions showcasing the progress of street lighting roll-out projects and highlighting the barriers being faced in achieving faster results.

According to conference organizer Expo Trade Global, over 60 Australian councils including Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart are currently in the roll out process or have completed bulk lighting changeovers, with over 148,000 lights upgraded so far.

Municipal Association of Victoria and Ironbark Sustainability have partnered to help Victorian councils deliver a bulk transition of over 232,000 street lights to energy efficient alternatives, which when completed is expected to have a cumulative saving of $431 million through reduced electricity and maintenance use.

This sits behind New York as the second largest street lighting project in the world, according to Expo Trade Global.

Organic Response’s Rob Evans said, “As outdoor and street lighting are large power consumers, then they need to be controlled. The added bonus is the smart sensors that control lights based on human presence can provide information for the control of other devices and allow cities to be smarter, not just lighting systems.”

Wulian smart lighting had already become the world's emerging industry.As an indispensable tool in modern civilization society, smart lighting is under spotlight.To improve consumers' experiences, we are the first one to bring out smart lighting integrating with LED lighting technology in global.These smart lighting not only integrates with new generation of lighting technologies,but also integrates with brand new IOT technology ,mobile internet technology and cloud technology to meet global consumers' expectance on smart lighting at maximum.
