Abstract
In this paper, an energy efficient streetlight for
pedestrian roads is introduced. Energy efficiency is
achieved via up-to-date light-emitting diode (LED)
technology and added intelligence utilising integrated
sensors and wireless control. Thermal and electrical
design of the luminaire contributed to good technical
functionality. The performance of the luminaire was
validated with testing. The luminaire was compared with
commercial lamp and LED-based street lighting technology
by technical values and user acceptance. Energy savings
of 19–44% through improved luminous efficacy was
demonstrated without added intelligence. With smart
control further power saving potential of 40–60% was
shown depending on the lighting environment and
pedestrian presence. User feedback of a pilot
installation comparing commercial luminaires with the
newly developed streetlight revealed that on average the
users preferred the developed streetlight over the
commercial luminaires.
