Dynamic lighting and adaptive lighting are not the same
Case study: In this real-world test in Switzerland, dynamic lighting with sensors illuminates roads
at high intensity when a vehicle is detected and maintains this level for 30 seconds to one minute. If at least one vehicle passes per minute, the system keeps the road brightly lit all the time, which can be energy- intensive. Adaptive lighting , on the other hand, adjusts the intensity of the light to the actual volume of traffic. Rather than reacting to individual vehicles, it adjusts the lighting scenario based on the collective traffic flow, resulting in lower overall light levels and greater energy savings. This approach not only ensures safety but also optimizes energy use, making it a smarter solution for managing urban lighting.
Dynamic lighting (based on detection)
DYNAMIC LIGHTING ≠ ADAPTIVE LIGHTING!
A lighting system that has the ability to adapt to real-time demand is something you are probably familiar with . But the usual ones work with local sensors . At Schréder, we call this “dynamic lighting” . It is typically used to adjust the lighting intensity in car parks, parks, bicycle paths , etc. The Schréder EXEDRA LightSync adaptive lighting system is different. It works on a different scale, with other inputs and with much more flexibility . It has the ability to adjust the lighting level of a significant area of road infrastructure. It can also work with local sensors, but does not need them as it relies on data collected by third-party platforms responsible for assessing local conditions .
Adaptive lighting (based on traffic volume)
▪ High-intensity lighting ▪ Medium-intensity lighting ▪ Low-intensity lighting
