When street lights think for themselves: up to 90% less energy consumption

The town of Maur has renewed its street lighting and is now using a smart city system. Around a thousand old lights were replaced. The idea is to only have lights on when they're needed.

Integrated sensors detect pedestrians and vehicles, activate the surrounding lights, and dim back to 1% basic lighting after 90 seconds. During the low-traffic night hours, the lights are dimmed to zero, but gently increase to 50% again when movement is detected – ensuring safety even at late hours.


The result is measurable:

On Unterdorfstrasse, energy consumption fell from a continuous output of 83 W to an average of 6–8 W in demand-based operation – a saving of over 90%.


For those who want to know more about the technical details:

BURRI integrated a specially developed driver with stepless dimming from 0–100%. Regardless of shape or type, all BURRI luminaires can be equipped with this technology. The modular design with screw-fastened components allows tool-free replacement of housings, LED modules, power supplies, optics, and glass covers.


The newly developed SA14 optics meet all street lighting requirements – in combination with a highly efficient LED unit, they make a clear contribution to energy sustainability.
