LightingNavigator
The traditional streetlight systems use mechanical ballasts that are either fully on or off. Such ballasts waste energy because they remain on at a constant light level throughout the night, causing streetlights to account for the largest percentage of energy usage of a town and contributing to CO2 emissions worldwide due to inefficient energy consumption. These older systems are expensive and cumbersome to maintain, relying on resident notification or drive-bys to determine which lights are no longer functioning properly. Furthermore, because such systems are always at maximum light output when they are on, they are a chief cause of light pollution - a concern in growing urban areas where night time lighting levels continue to intensify.
