Energy efficient outdoor lighting: an implementation

Lighting strongly influences daily activities of the humans. Smart lighting emerged as new generation of lighting systems, able to precisely address the specific needs of people. Under conditions of shortage in fossil fuels and high prices for energy, smart lighting enables design of lighting systems, which can efficiently use power resources without compromising the user experience. This paper describes implementation of outdoor lighting solution targeting energy efficiency of the lighting system. The proposed approach takes holistic perspective on efficiency and considers light source selection and power management along with control scenarios for lighting scene rendering. System architecture is designed following the Internet of Things vision.
