What is it about?
This paper introduces the optimization of energy consumption and lamp life for smart street lighting control system. The main components of this system are: Monitoring and Management Software, Internet Protocol, Segment Controller, LonWorks Power Line Communication Technology and Outdoor Lighting Controller.

Why is it important?
With consideration of constraints, the energy consumption and the lamp life were optimized by naive exhaustive search algorithm based on fifteen possible scenario generated from five dimming levels and three group arrangements. The premier scenario was applied to the street lighting every 30 minutes. A group of 30 400-watt dimmable lamps was selected for evaluation. The energy consumption was saved by 20% and the average lamp life was increased by 100% in 12 hours.
Perspectives
The premier scenario is applied to the smart street lighting control system in order to reduce energy consumption and increase lamp life. The experimental results for a group of 30 400-watt lamps demonstrate the efficacious and feasibility of the proposed method. The total energy consumption is decreased by 20% and the average lamp life is increased by 100% in 12 working hours.
