What Is Timer-Based Dimmi
Upgrade traditional streetlights into intelligent and energy efficient assets with Bluetooth technology.
Our solution offers cost effective deployment, flexible control, and simplified maintenance perfect for urban roads, campuses, parks, and smart pole projects.
✓ Single-lamp precision control | ✓ Energy-saving dimming strategies | ✓ Easy retrofit for existing projects
The core idea of Bluetooth streetlight control is simple:
each lamp post is equipped with an intelligent controller that integrates a Bluetooth module.
Through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), the controller communicates with mobile apps, handheld remotes, or fixed gateways. This enables direct single-lamp control, group dimming, and status feedback.
When combined with Bluetooth gateways, the system connects to the cloud, allowing centralized monitoring and remote management from anywhere with internet access. This approach offers a cost-effective yet powerful alternative to traditional wired or wide-area IoT systems.
Installed inside the lamp pole or luminaire, it integrates: Bluetooth Module: wireless signal transmission. MCU (Microcontroller Unit): processes commands for switching and dimming. Power Driver Module: adjusts current output to LEDs. Optional Sensors: light sensors for auto ON/OFF, motion sensors for adaptive lighting.
Mobile App / Tablet: scan and connect to nearby lamps for on-site control. Bluetooth Remote: handheld device for batch operations in a certain area. Bluetooth Gateway: combines Bluetooth communication with internet access (4G/5G or Ethernet) to bridge lamps with the cloud for remote management.
Aggregates all lamp data via gateways. Provides centralized control, energy monitoring, scheduling, and real-time fault alarms. Accessible globally from PC or mobile.
Each lamp can be independently switched on/off or dimmed (0–100%), enabling flexible and customized lighting strategies.
By reducing brightness during low-traffic hours, the system saves up to 30% energy and extends the lifetime of LED luminaires.
1.Scheduling: Set different on/off and dimming plans for weekdays, weekends, or seasonal variations. 2.Sensor Integration: Combine with motion or daylight sensors for adaptive “light-on-demand” operation.
Real-time data collection on voltage, current, and energy consumption. Faults such as lamp failure or abnormal power usage are automatically reported to the platform, reducing inspection costs.
New Projects: Simplified wiring with fast deployment. Retrofit Projects: Upgrade existing poles by replacing controllers without trenching or re-cabling.
Retrofit existing city streetlights with Bluetooth controllers for flexible dimming, scheduling, and centralized monitoring.
Ideal for universities, industrial parks, and public green areas—supports zone-based control and adaptive lighting.
Adjust brightness automatically based on traffic flow and outside brightness, ensuring both safety and energy efficiency.
Forms the foundation of multifunctional smart poles, enabling integration with cameras, information displays, and environmental sensors.
Bluetooth-based streetlight control provides a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable solution for modern urban lighting.
By combining Bluetooth controllers with gateways, cities and organizations can achieve:
Precise single-lamp control
Significant energy savings
Simplified maintenance with real-time fault alerts
Seamless integration into smart city infrastructure
This technology is particularly well-suited for urban roads, campuses, parks, and dense community areas, where quick deployment and low retrofit costs are priorities.
