Sustainability
From Energy to Ecology
Sustainable Development Value Pyramid of Urban Lighting
Lighting is the energy node
- Industrial transition: Chinese lighting companies have realized the transformation from hardware manufacturers to urban energy network operators through the four-dimensional fusion technology of “PHOTOVOLTAIC +LED+5G +AI”.
- Efficiency revolution: The intelligent dimming system reduces the energy consumption of road lighting from 250W/lamp to 35W/lamp, and the fault response speed is increased by 10 times.
- Standard hegemony: lead the formulation of the world’s first “Solar Street Lamp Carbon Footprint Accounting Standard”, master the international pricing power of sustainable lighting.
Lighting is the digital base
- Infrastructure integration: Multi-function smart poles integrate functions such as charging piles, environmental monitoring, and Wi-Fi hotspots, creating an annual data value of more than$2,000 for a single pole.
- Off-grid revolution: The African solar street lamp project proves that distributed lighting networks can reduce the cost of power grid construction in rural areas by 78%.
- Material breakthrough: perovskite photovoltaic coating technology realizes self-generation of street lamp poles, and the power generation efficiency reached 23.7% in the Dubai desert environment test.
Lighting is the social contract
- Safety and equality: The solar street lamp project in Brazil’s slums has reduced the violent crime rate at night by 54%, and the female night travel rate has increased by 3 times.
- Cultural guardian: The intelligent lighting system of Angkor Wat adopts 3000K warm light + directional projection technology to save energy by 65% while protecting the millennium stone carvings from light pollution.
- Bridging urban and rural areas: China’s “Shining Countryside” plan covers 832 poverty-stricken counties, eliminating the gap between urban and rural night lighting, and driving a 4.2-fold increase in the scale of the night economy.
Lighting is ecological language
- Negative carbon lighting: The Hammarby community in Sweden piloted a “photosynthetic street lamp” to realize the carbon sequestration of the lighting system through an algae bioreactor.
- Urban breathing: Singapore’s “Vertical forest street light” integrates an air purification module, and the daily air purification volume of a single pole is equivalent to 150 adult trees.
- Eternal cycle: Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has developed a self-healing photovoltaic pavement with a service life of more than 30 years to achieve the sustainable existence of lighting infrastructure.
