SOLUTIONS AND APPLICATIONS / Brighten Up the City with Smart Street Light

Street light plays an important role in lighting up public roads, highways, and bridges excluding tolled roads and expressways. It can promote security in urban areas and increase the quality of life by artificially extending the hours in which it is bright so that activity can take place.

Street lighting also improves safety for drivers, riders, and pedestrians. Driving outside of daylight hours is more dangerous – only a quarter of all travel by car drivers is between the hours of 7 pm and 8 am, yet this period accounts for 40% of fatal and serious injuries to the same group.

In 2019, Malaysia’s government had announced Penang state will be the first state to have 100% energy-efficient lamps for all street lighting. In fact, Penang had a total of 33,198 street lamps that would be converted into LEDs by 2020, while there were 57,655 in Seberang Prai. And most importantly Penang state council had calculated the total cost of RM75 million spending on this project, by replacing 17,542 existing street lights on the island and a total of 14,054 in Seberang Perai with LED lights.

Customer Challenges:

The biggest challenges of using conventional street lighting are the maintenance process. Maintenance workers are required to standby 24/7 to fix and repair the streetlamp when there is any malfunction. These are time-consuming and incurred a lot of unnecessary costs to the company.

The lifespan of the conventional lighting will be cut dramatically when it being on and off frequently. Streetlamp are required to be switch on and off every evening as well as raining season. This indirectly incurred a huge cost in long-run, in order to ensure sustainable performance at all times.

Also, using conventional lighting could place the city at health and safety risk, where the mercury could leak out when the streetlamp has broken. This will increase the carbon emissions and pollution to the environment.

Conventional lighting is subject to flickering which can be very annoying or it can be hazardous to people who sensitive to flickers (epilepsy). This could be a disaster when this happens to the driver on the road, an accident could happen anytime when people with epilepsy are affected by the flickering issue.
