Smart Lighting Control
June 2020
Context
The Highland Park is one of the wealthiest suburbs in the Chicago area, next to a commercial area and an outdoor arena which hosts big shows that was previously unlit at night.
Challenge
People from the neighbourhood were concerned about the lighting and so was deployed the first smart lighting project in the Chicago North Shore Area.
Solution
A lighting control & monitoring system was installed with Dimonoff’s RME wireless smart nodes on each fixture to get remote lighting management.
Making Life and Safety Come Back to a Suburb
Overview
The Highland Park Neighbourhood has converted 130 fixtures from HPS to high performance LEDs for different citizen’s needs and to bring back life to an unsecured commercial area at night, in addition to the energy savings they produce. Dimonoff’s smart nodes where also installed on flood light poles to illuminate a monument in the neighbourhood. Dimonoff | SMCS software platform was configured with this change.
Now
They are able to remotely control and monitor their outdoor lighting network, in real time. This allows to set different dimming scenarios in different areas in the residential area to answer specific resident’s satisfactions as they were concerned by the lighting brightness at night.
The Main Benefits of the Project
- Greatly improves residents safety and their quality of life, they are now really happy and involved in the lighting project as they took part in its design and deployment.
- Residents involved in public work teams that have total control over the lighting dimming level that they set to answer their satisfactions in different areas.
- Life came back in the commercial area with 2 bars opening since the project started, bringing in revenue for the city
- Energy consumptions decreased as well as CO2 emissions while the lighting is now better and better respond to the citizens needs
