Philips has been commissioned by the City of Buenos Aires to replace 125,000 of its street lights with LED luminaires.
10,000 luminaires have already been installed to date in the large-scale three-year project and it is estimated that the city will save 50 per cent of its energy consumption after completing the programme.
In addition to the replacement of street luminaires, Philips has developed a tailor-made solution for the city based on its CityTouch Tele-management platform. The system enables monitoring of each light point in the network on an individual basis, allowing the optimal operation of each luminaire and the programming of potential replacements, or future maintenance tasks. The system also provides the option to switch off or dim lighting levels, depending on specific requirements.
"With the rapid growth in population and the expansion of urban areas, the world needs better and more efficient light. The arrival of innovative LED lighting has brought about a radical change in the industry. In addition to enabling energy savings, it provides our customers with unique, flexible, sustainable, and integrated lighting solution, which were not even envisioned only a few years ago," stated Gustavo Verna, CEO of Philips Argentina.
