Sustainability powered by connected lighting Cutting energy use and CO₂ emissions Street lighting accounts for a significant proportion of a city’s energy bill. With Schréder EXEDRA, luminaires adapt to real conditions instead of running on static profiles. Dynamic lighting with sensors, adaptive lighting with LightSync, and tunable calendars typically reduce consumption by up to 70%. Less electricity means lower CO₂ emissions, helping cities meet climate targets while cutting costs.
Monitoring and reporting Sustainability must be measurable. Every connected luminaire reports its consumption, operating hours and applied dimming levels back to Schréder EXEDRA. This data is converted into concrete indicators such as kWh saved, CO₂ avoided and lighting classes achieved. Decision- makers gain dashboards and reports that can be used directly in ESG strategies and regulatory submissions, providing transparent evidence of progress.

Optimising resources, lowering footprint
Connected lighting reduces resource use in several ways. Remote monitoring avoids unnecessary site visits, as faults can be pinpointed so crews only need to visit once with the correct part, reducing travel and emissions. Intelligent operation reduces stress on components, extending their lifetime. And by repurposing the same poles and controllers for other smart city services such as traffic or environmental sensing, cities avoid building parallel networks. These combined optimisations lower operational costs and reduce the overall environmental footprint. Protecting biodiversity and the night sky Light pollution also leaves an environmental footprint. Connected controls prevent unnecessary lighting by dimming or switching zones when no one is present, and by adjusting colour temperature with FlexiWhite. Warmer tones (1700–2200K) reduce blue light, limiting disruption for nocturnal species. The result is safe public spaces for people, with minimal disturbance to ecosystems.
