Energy efficient street lighting control in the rural settlements

Abstract

Electricity consumption for lighting is about 25%, a significant portion of which is spent on outdoor lighting. Therefore, the problem of reducing the cost of street lighting is quite relevant. The peculiarity of the villages and rural settlements is the night life. Illumination of empty streets in this period is pointless. Early in the morning the most part of the peasants (milkmaids, farm machine drivers, etc.), wakes up and goes to work, others go to the market, and they need to light up the streets. We have developed energy-efficient street lighting management system of rural settlements.
