Philips has launched in Móstoles the first pilot project in intelligent lighting to municipalities. The result of an agreement with the Madrid City Hall, has been installed the solution 'LumiMotion', a highly advanced technology that detects human activity and regulates the intensity of the light of the luminaires according to the proximity of the individuals. This system is installed in the world, after the Netherlands and France. Luminaires used technology LEED has allowed to reduce the power of the previous luminaries of halides from 240-60 w. Adicionalmente to this energy-saving, the system of detection of people can reduce that consumption up to an additional 80%.
The mechanism that uses 'lumimotion' is based on optical sensors that detect movement but that does not record any image. The wireless communication between the sensors that are available each luminaire allows that a sufficient street light generate when no pedestrians and the light necessary for traffic and security as they pass. The system maintains the luminaires to 20% of its power while there is no movement on the streets, most of the night. On the other hand, the LEED for new lights emit a light white, much more pleasant and able to reproduce the colors, orange light of the ancient lights correctly. The system illuminates the street at the height of the people, but does not invade the homes of the surrounding buildings, which improves the well-being of the residents at night.
