Intelligence where it belongs: in the cabinets
Old-fashioned streetlight timers and photocells waste money and energy.
AmpLight™ puts low-cost, intelligent agents into your streetlighting cabinets to drive down costs, reduce energy consumption and make it easy to monitor and manage the entire system, in real time.
Intelligence at cabinet level
Because our agents are placed in the streetlight control cabinets, AmpLight™ costs much less than systems that require deployments on every pole. As a result, payback can occur in as little as 18 months instead of several years typical of pole-level solutions. Read more about the solution components.
Streetlight Energy Savings Mode
A huge part of a municipality’s streetlighting budget is spent over-lighting areas where there are no people.
The AmpLight™ Energy Savings Mode allows you to regulate the voltage in certain areas at specified times, reducing energy and costs by anywhere from 25-35%. Instead of lighting an industrial area on a Sunday with the same intensity as a shopping street at holiday time, you can decide where, when and how you want to allocate your lighting budget.
The most conservative Energy Savings Mode settings can save money with almost no noticeable change in brightness. And since Energy Savings Mode controls over-voltage situations, bulb life is improved for further savings.
Burn hours through the year in a typical Northern city, showing two different energy savings levels – and total savings of 35% in energy use and costs.
The benefits of centralized streetlighting
Turning standalone streetlights into an intelligent streetlighting network lets you drive down operational costs while improving quality of service and public safety.
Instead of relying on citizen reports of streetlight failures, your maintenance team sees the problems even before they are reported. The control room GIS and mapping features make it easy to dispatch the right resource at the right time. With smart field tools, remote management is simplified and made much more efficient.
Centralized monitoring and control alone can drive down streetlighting costs and carbon emissions by 8-10%. The Amplex Energy Savings Mode brings that up to 25-35%.
AmpLight™ deployments also integrate easily with Amplex StartGrid, so you can monitor and control streetlights together with your entire low-voltage power distribution network. Open interfaces also mean easy integration with existing utility systems, including billing, GIS, work order and planning.
