Lumewave’s wireless streetlight control system shows additional savings based on newly developed radar sensors, installed on light fixture that will provide traffic flow information as well as further reduce energy consumption of streetlights while providing the proper lighting when needed for safe traffic and pedestrian travel.
Lumewave was selected along with small number of other manufactures of similar products to participate in this pilot project
Sacramento California –
Sacramento, CA based Lumewave, Inc. a wireless lighting control system company, was selected late last year by the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) to install its system in 2 areas of San Francisco to demonstrate the installation, commissioning, functionality, ease of use and maintenance. The system has been installed, fully operational and managed by the SFPUC since November 19, 2013. A public presentation of the Lumewave system is scheduled for February 6, 2014 at 6:30PM on Washington Street in the Presidio Heights section of San Francisco.

Lumewave partnered with a leading LED fixture manufacturer who provided energy efficient LED replacements for the existing HID fixtures which Lumewave then equipped with its IEEE 802.15.4 based spread spectrum wireless control modules, providing the SFPUC the capability to remotely control fixtures individually or by groups based on time of day and traffic patterns or simply the need to set a level as desired. The Lumewave system will add substantial savings to the operation of the streetlights as well as accurately measure and log their daily energy consumption as well as provide continuous diagnostics that will find and report faulty streetlights so maintenance may be performed more timely. The Lumewave system provides control access to the city’s streetlights remotely from a central location and via mobile devices like an iPad.
The Lumewave system can be interfaced with other sensor equipment around San Francisco. Initially rain gauges were chosen to show that the system also provides information other than Lumewave equipment once the system is operational across larger areas of the city.
The SFPUC owns, operates and maintains over half the city’s street lights (25,000) and recently announced a project to replace 18,500 of its high pressure sodium cobra-head style light fixtures with efficient much more light emitting diodes (LED) luminaires.
The Lumewave control system is designed to communications via gateways connected to a central location via LAN or Cellular and provides connection to more than 100,000 modules installed throughout a city over a wide area broadcast system
