Smart Lighting Devices: Key to Building Intelligent Cities

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for investment and construction of smart cities, leading to rapid improvement in the quality of urban street lighting. As the most intensive new type of public infrastructure in smart city construction, smart street lighting is becoming an inevitable trend of the era, indicating a huge investment opportunity in this field.
According to relevant data, the market size of smart lamp posts in China has grown from 972 million yuan in 2018 to 2.306 billion yuan in 2020. By 2021, the market size of smart lamp posts reached 4.624 billion yuan, with a growth rate of nearly 100% compared to 2020. It is estimated that the market size of smart lamp posts in China will exceed 16 billion yuan by 2025.
Currently, the penetration rate of smart lamp posts in China is less than 1%, indicating enormous market potential.


So, how can one quickly enter the smart street lighting race and share the market dividends?


Enter the scene, the emergence of Tuya Smart's intelligent street lighting solution. Based on mature IoT technology, rich software and hardware ecosystems, and deep industry accumulation, Tuya Smart provides a low-cost and practical smart street lighting solution, empowering customers with efficient, intelligent, and refined operational management capabilities, and enabling rapid deployment in the smart street lighting market.


01
Pain Points of Traditional Street Lighting Systems
As thousands of street lights form the most densely distributed infrastructure in cities, they illuminate the entire urban area, bringing convenience to people's lives. However, traditional street lighting systems face several pressing issues amidst the rapid development of smart cities.
The current challenges of smart street lights in urban areas before transformation include:
1.Low system reliability:
Control information is prone to loss, unknown luminaire status, weak resistance to signal interference, and frequent power interruptions that affect system operation.
2.High energy consumption:
Lack of brightness adjustment, relying solely on scheduled power on/off control, leading to high electricity consumption. Inability to perform targeted energy-saving strategies due to the lack of energy consumption statistics.
3.Difficult equipment maintenance:
Inability to obtain on-site information, relying only on manual inspections or reports from passersby to locate faulty devices. The subsequent manual maintenance costs are extremely high.

Smart Street Lighting Solution
Tuya Smart's smart street lighting solution, based on technologies such as NB-IoT/Cat.1/Cat.M1, focuses on intelligent control and energy-saving measures to efficiently operate the city's road lighting system.
By utilizing Tuya's commercial lighting management platform's data collection technology and integrating it with city map geographical information services (GIS), various effective control methods such as scheduling, grouping, and point measurement are applied to urban street lighting facilities. This enables remote centralized monitoring to save electricity, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the modern management level of urban lighting facilities.
With the integration of cutting-edge technology and practical applications, Tuya Smart's smart street lighting system possesses advantages such as standardization, openness, universality, stability, and scalability. It can further promote the transformation and upgrading of smart street lighting and the construction of intelligent management systems.
▲ Tuya Smart's smart street lighting system architecture
Starting with outdoor street lighting, road intelligence begins with smart lighting devices. By adopting protocols such as NB-IoT for smart street lighting control and leveraging Tuya's commercial lighting management platform, the system can remotely supervise LED street lights.
Smart Street Lighting + Outdoor Lighting Control System can automatically sense information such as sunrise, sunset, and ambient light intensity, enabling unified power control and intelligent management of street lights. This reduces energy consumption for road lighting and ensures the intelligence and energy efficiency of the system. The system also allows remote monitoring of device status and immediate alerts and location tracking in case of abnormalities, thus saving operational costs.
Additionally, based on the brightness of outdoor natural light, the system can automatically adjust the illumination of street lights and detect whether the lights are on or if there is any damage to the lines. Control of each street light can be done through a mobile phone. In terms of energy consumption data, the system provides statistical analysis on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis, making the electricity usage clear and transparent.
Tuya Smart's smart street lighting solution forms a complete solution around "device monitoring, security protection, energy detection, and auxiliary decision-making." It can achieve more than 30% energy savings for smart street lights after transformation, effectively reducing urban public lighting energy consumption.
Features of the solution include:
NB-IoT Communication Method: The solution utilizes the competitive NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) data communication protocol, which is low power, low cost, has strong coverage and connectivity, high security, and excellent anti-interference capabilities. It can be deployed directly on networks such as GSM, MTS, or LTE, meeting the requirements of most low-rate scenarios.


Remote and Local "Dual-Line" Control: The system supports real-time remote control, status monitoring, and abnormal alarm capabilities, while also having local execution capabilities. In the absence of network connectivity, the local Real-Time Clock (RTC) can continue to operate, ensuring the effectiveness and stability of system control.

Multiple Intelligent Control Methods: The Tuya Smart smart street lighting system combines various intelligent control methods for flexible and precise control of street lighting devices, achieving more efficient management.
Customized Grouping: Control based on city, region, and road grouping.
Scheduled Control: Timed control based on zones and groups.
Astronomical Timing: Automatic setting of sunrise and sunset times based on latitude and longitude.
Combination of Light Control and Time Control: Combination control based on light intensity and time.
Special Dates: Different presets can be set for specific dates.

Centralized Device Management: The system allows centralized management of city street lights, including the ability to view the geographical location, device status, operational data, and energy consumption of each street light on a unified platform. Independent projects can be set for each city, displaying the status of street lighting devices on a GIS map and providing centralized management for easy unified operations and maintenance. The system also provides flexible allocation of management permissions for different areas/streets based on project positioning to ensure control system security and data query security.
Automated Lighting Energy Savings: The system adjusts the lighting scenes automatically based on the traffic characteristics of different periods, achieving energy savings and comfortable lighting experiences for the street lighting system.
Timed Execution: Brightness settings for different periods based on sunrise, sunset, and time cycles.
Environment-Linked Control: Dynamic adjustment of the number of lights and light intensity based on environmental light sensors.

Energy Consumption Dashboard: The comprehensive energy consumption data dashboard presents key data such as "quota energy consumption," "area energy consumption," and "carbon emissions." It provides daily, monthly, and yearly electricity usage statistics and analysis, allowing real-time monitoring of street light energy usage and providing reliable data support.
 
As investments in smart cities continue to expand, towns and cities are accelerating the construction of new urban infrastructure to promote the transformation and development of intelligent cities. Street lights, as the densely distributed "nerve endings" in cities, are of paramount importance in the process of smart city development.
To comprehensively assist customers in seizing market opportunities and gaining more commercial value, Tuya Smart's smart street lighting solution fully meets the customer's demands from hardware to software implementation. It significantly enhances the company's overall coordination capabilities, management efficiency, and core competitiveness, jointly exploring the incremental market under the smart street lighting domain.
