A step-by-step guide to choosing the right control solution for your street lighting project
Key factors that determine the choice of street lighting control
Street lighting control options explained
Selecting the right control method for street lighting can be complex, with multiple factors to consider: the type of luminaires, infrastructure availability, dimming requirements, or the presence of high-density buildings.
To make this process easier, DITRA Solutions has created a clear decision flowchart. By answering a few key questions, you can quickly identify whether your project needs:
PLC Nodes – the most efficient choice when a reliable power grid is already in place,
LiWAVE Radio Nodes – ideal for open areas, parks, and historical centers with motion sensor integration, or
GSM Nodes – perfect for decentralized or remote sites with individual lighting points, or
Segment Streetlight Controller – the best option for projects where luminaires can be managed in groups through a central cabinet, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution with GSM/Ethernet access.
This structured approach ensures you choose a solution that balances cost, reliability, and performance — tailored to your project’s unique conditions.
Software layer and smart city integration
Beyond the hardware, all these solutions can be monitored, configured, and optimized through our street lighting software, providing full visibility, remote management, and seamless integration into modern smart city infrastructures.
