The goal of landscape lighting is to coordinate the lighting and the landscape. That is, adjusting measures according to the landscapes and the architectural features, thus reaching a new level of beautifying the environment. Road lighting emphasizes brightness, but landscape lighting focuses on the environment beautifying effects. Smart green LED lighting in the landscape applications include:
(1) Automatic switch. In order to save electricity and reduce power consumption, the landscape lighting can be switched through pre-programmed schedule or by detecting daylight luminance values with photoelectric sensors, thus achieving the purposes of unattended operation and reducing power consumption.
(2) Dynamic auto- dimming. Intelligent control system can automatically obtain local day’s weather conditions through the network and then adjust the color and brightness of light scene in accordance with the prevailing weather. For example, in rainy or foggy weather, the lighting control system automatically increases the brightness of the light. In the cold winter, the lighting system increases the proportion of red light which makes people feel warm. In the hot summer, it increases the ratio of blue light in the lighting system which makes people feel cool.
(3) Green energy. Landscape lighting systems typically include different LED lamps, such as: LED underground light, LED brick lights, LED lawn lamps, LED guardrail tube used for outlining the buildings, LED Flexible Strip for decorating plants and LED display screens, among which the first three fixtures are relatively small in consumptions, usually less than 10w. You can use solar energy to charge the battery, which can work as power supply for the LED light in the evening.
(4) Intelligent fault diagnosis. The quick positioning of broken chip makes it more convenient to repair. For chips working in an abnormal state, such as the current anomaly in the chip, lamp brightness is too high or too low, it can give out a timely warning.
(5) Wireless systems. The current landscape lighting systems are usually designed for a single building, using fiber optic and twisted pair way to control the various sub systems. If the landscape is very large, such as parks or residential areas, it needs to combine the technology of wireless LAN (WLAN), WIFI, or ZigBee and the current static control, thus connecting the various subsystems conveniently and economically and achieving unified control.
