2. Problems with current street lights
Common problems with conventional street lights include:
- Lack of real-time information on light status during the day or when lights are turned off, as well as unauthorized power usage.
- Inability to monitor door controller activity and circuit breaker (CB) status.
- Manual inspection required to determine if lights are functioning properly.
- Unstable lighting leading to potential accidents.
- Insufficient security on dark roads, increasing the risk of crimes, kidnappings, and impacting nighttime business activities.
- High energy consumption due to issues such as leakage, short circuits, power theft, and outdated bulbs.
