A step-by-step guide to choosing the right control solution for your street lighting project

Follow the steps in our flowchart and discover which solution best fits your project

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.

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.
