Timmer Control Light System

Automate streetlight on/off schedules with precision using seasonal and astronomical time control. Our system not only reduces unnecessary energy consumption but also extends the service life of lamps by avoiding over-operation. With optional hybrid photocell integration and remote programming capability, procurement teams gain flexible, tender-ready solutions that simplify cabinet-level operations, cut O&M costs, and ensure compliance with modern smart-city standards—all backed by industrial-grade hardware and a reliable 5-year warranty.

What the Timer-Control System Does

The timer-control lighting system is designed to switch street lights on and off automatically according to preset schedules. Unlike manual operation, it ensures a consistent, predictable lighting cycle throughout the year. Advanced systems integrate astronomical time switches that adjust daily based on sunrise and sunset, and can also combine with photocell sensors to respond to sudden weather changes.

By eliminating guesswork and human error, the system provides reliable illumination for roads, highways, and public spaces while lowering energy costs and reducing maintenance workload. It is a practical and proven solution for municipalities and industrial parks looking to modernize their outdoor lighting infrastructure.

System Architecture

Modular cabinet-level design with controller, timer/astronomical module, power & contactors, and optional expansions for remote monitoring.

Controller

Microcontroller/PLC executes schedules and handles inputs/outputs.

Timer / Astronomical Module

Daily/weekly/seasonal programs; auto sunrise/sunset by latitude/longitude.

• DST auto-adjust
• ±2 ppm accuracy
• Holiday/event calendar

Power & Relays/Contactors

Switch feeder circuits and lamp groups with proper electrical protection.

• 30–100 A options
• Surge/SPD & MCB
• Multiple branch outputs

Optional Expansions

Enhance flexibility with sensors and connectivity for remote operations.

How Scheduling Operates

The timer-control system follows a clear and reliable workflow to manage lighting schedules:

Time Profiles – Users can pre-program daily, weekly, or seasonal on/off schedules according to local requirements.
Astronomical Mode – Advanced controllers automatically calculate sunrise and sunset times using latitude and longitude, ensuring precise switching throughout the year without manual adjustments.
Hybrid Mode – For greater flexibility, a photocell input can be combined with timer control. This ensures lights switch on earlier during cloudy or stormy weather, while still respecting the preset time window.
Manual & Remote Overrides – In case of emergencies, festivals, or special events, operators can easily override schedules locally or via remote access, ensuring that lighting adapts instantly to real-world needs.

This scheduling logic guarantees predictable illumination, energy savings, and reduced manpower costs, while still providing the adaptability required for modern urban environments.

Controller Options

To meet different project budgets and management requirements, MVS provides several types of timer-control street lighting controllers:

Each option is built on industrial-grade components and can be customized for cabinet or pole-top installation, giving procurement officers flexibility to choose the best balance of cost, functionality, and scalability.
