Smart LED streetlights dim on command

New Jersey lighting technology company Amerlux is shining the light on its SmartSite intelligent LED street-lighting system. The lights are targeted at municipalities or commercial sites that are seeking to improve their energy-efficiency. What makes them worth attention are a number of factors, including the fact that they can be remote-controlled via a systems management console and that they can be programmed to dim over the course of an evening. The luminaires used in the system are LEDS, which means they can last a long time while using less energy than traditional metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures.
