Light Control Unit

Product Description

Light Control Unit (LCU) is a smart device for automatically controlling street lighting. It adopts the ANSI C136.41 NEMA form factor (standard 7-pin twist-lock) and is designed for easy plug-and-play installation. The LCU enables automatic on/off switching, dimming, energy monitoring, and seamless integration with smart city platforms.

Solution

The Light Control Unit (LCU) provides cities and utility operators with an efficient and reliable way to modernize street lighting. By enabling automatic on/off switching, adaptive dimming, and detailed energy monitoring, it reduces operational costs and energy consumption while improving public safety. Its plug-and-play design simplifies deployment, while integration with smart city platforms allows centralized management and data-driven decision-making..

Automatic ON/OFF

This feature allows the lights to switch on and off automatically based on a predefined schedule, light sensor detection, direct commands from the dashboard, or through multi-condition settings that combine several conditions for greater flexibility.

Automatic Dimming

The brightness level can be automatically adjusted using multiple control methods, including analog 0-10V, PWM, and DALI. Dimming can also be managed based on time schedules, light sensor readings, dashboard commands, or multi-condition configurations, ensuring adaptable and efficient lighting control.

Energy Usage Monitoring

The LCU provides comprehensive energy monitoring, covering voltage, current, active power (Watt), energy consumption (kWh), and power factor. It also tracks daily and monthly consumption status, while detecting anomalies such as overloads or sudden power drops to enhance efficiency and reliability.

Alarm / Error Notification

The system delivers notifications whenever an abnormal condition occurs, such as lamp malfunction, lamp health issues, power loss, or pole condition problems. These alerts enable faster and more accurate maintenance actions.
