    Customer challenge

    The right lighting 

     

    In total 4,985 Luma luminaires were installed, 1,888 are managed by the CityTouch connect application. Through communication and control of the individual light points in this network, the previous static lighting system is transformed into an intelligent system controlled from the operator’s computer.

     

    • The use of LED technology reduces electricity consumption by up to 50% compared to the previous sodium lighting system. Nearly 2 000 luminaires are managed by CityTouch, and can be flexibly dimmed depending on the weather, traffic movement, or organized events, saving further energy.
    • The white LED light makes the city look more beautiful and brighter at night, which helps people to feel safe.
    • The Luma CityTouch Ready luminaires allow auto-commissioning, auto-locating, and automatic fault notification via the public mobile network. This replaces the complex and labor-intensive process of adding and importing all luminaire data into a conventional lighting management system.
    • The CityTouch software platform offers an intuitive user interface.
    • With CityTouch, the city has access to data about the status of each luminaire as well as information about faults as they develop. Maintenance crews can be instructed immediately, improving maintenance efficiency.
    • The CityTouch connect app helps to realize additional savings through accurate energy metering.
