CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR LUMINAIRES OF EVERY SHAPE Changing the lighting without changing the luminaires is a huge advantage for cities. Urban centres worldwide are making huge efforts to play their part in reaching decarbonisation and Net Zero, and the circular economy is more than just an aspiration but a reality. We have been upgrading existing luminaires with minimal waste for decades and connected-ready is a natural continuation of this work. Connected-ready infrastructure helps cities to actively engage in a more circular economy. Firstly, no new luminaires will be needed when you decide to connect your lighting system. Then, once connected, the data can be imported into an asset management system that ensures a very durable infrastructure. The lifespan of the assets can be extended because the system makes it possible to know which part is defective and what can be replaced on-site and therefore keep critical components in stock. Without this advantage, it could be necessary to replace the luminaire. Technology that can adapt to any challenge, requirement, or transformation is a huge asset for communities. In 10 or 15 years, when the lighting technology has reached the next level of control and evolution, a simple replacement of the nodes will ensure the upgrade of the lighting installation without having to change all the lighting devices. SCALABLE,
CONNECTABLE, FUTUREPROOF
Decarbonisation is a top priority for city and urban planners worldwide and connected lighting is a great way to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions to meet national and international policy targets. Connecting to a standardised, open and interoperable ecosystem enables the lighting to work with other services and infrastructure in the city. A connected- ready network is the first step in this journey and an opportunity to transform city lighting from a necessary expense to a strategic asset - while providing time to think about which system could best meet the city’s need in the future.
