Light Pollution and Smart Outdoor Lighting

With the developing technology and increasing urbanization, many problems have started to arise in the use of energy resources and nature. In addition to environmental effects, energy-saving considerations constitute the main purpose of any proposed smart system. In outdoor lighting, along with the use of energy-efficient bulbs, the lighting should be done with the right method and the right way. In addition to these, an intelligent system integrated with an automatic control mechanism is needed. Incorrect outdoor lighting causes unnecessary energy consumption as well as light pollution and CO2 emission. These situations have negative consequences on both mental and physical health of the human, as well as on other living creatures and nature. Therefore, smart outdoor lighting systems offer an essential solution in preventing negative consequences that may occur with incorrect outdoor lighting. In this study, outdoor lighting requirements, light pollution and smart cities are examined in detail and the smart outdoor lighting systems within the scope of the smart cities are emphasized. As a result, the importance and necessity of the smart outdoor lighting system which provides energy-efficient and environmentally friendly structures by enabling street lamps to work smartly and efficiently are outlined.
