Smart Street Light Automation

Street Light Automation

Timer, photocell, GSM, RF and centralised CCMS street-light panels. Smart-city compliant.

Manual switching of municipal and campus street lighting wastes lakhs of rupees every year. Subtech's street light automation panels switch your lights on and off automatically based on real-time astronomical clock, ambient light, or centralised CCMS command.

Subtech Street Light Automation Panel
Overview

What is Street Light Automation?

Street light automation replaces manual operators and ageing timer switches with an intelligent panel that turns lights on and off at the right time, every day, without human intervention.

For city-scale or campus-scale deployments, the modern standard is a CCMS (Centralised Control & Monitoring System) panel — a feeder-pillar-mounted controller that communicates over GSM/4G, RF mesh or fibre with a central dashboard.

Beyond on/off control, we also supply dimming and dynamic-control street-light panels that work with LED drivers to dim during midnight hours.

Key Benefits

Why this matters for your facility

Astronomical timer auto-tracking

Programmed with your latitude/longitude, the panel calculates dawn and dusk daily. No seasonal re-programming.

GSM / RF / OFC remote control

Switch any feeder from anywhere. Group control for festivals or fairs. SMS alerts on power failures, MCB trips and tampering.

Energy metering per feeder

Built-in kWh meter shows energy consumed per circuit.

Dimming with LED driver integration

Talks to 0-10V or DALI LED drivers. Reduce light output 30-50% during midnight hours.

Earth-leakage & cable-fault detection

On long street-light feeders, earth-leakage detection finds cable faults before they trip the entire feeder.

Smart-city CCMS compliant

Compliant with EESL, ULB and state smart-city specifications. Open Modbus / MQTT / REST API protocols.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much energy can a street light automation panel save?
12-25% in the first year just from eliminating manual-switching errors. With LED + dimming, another 25-35% on top.
What is a CCMS panel?
CCMS stands for Centralised Control and Monitoring System. It's a feeder-pillar-mounted street-light panel with built-in communication (GSM, RF, OFC) that talks to a central dashboard.
How does astronomical timer switching work?
The timer is programmed with your site's latitude and longitude. Internally it computes the sun's altitude every minute and switches at the right elevation angle.
What is the lead time and warranty?
Standard CCMS panels: 10-15 working days. Warranty: 24 months standard, extendable to 60 months with AMC.
