During the Guangzhou International Lighting Fair, Ms. Nikita Junagade, LUCI communications manager, gave a speech titled "smart city and future city lighting development" in the 2017 Aladdin bbs-integration BBS. Which cities have experienced in applying smart lighting? What are the challenges that cities face in smart lighting applications? With these questions, here is a speech to share with you.

Lighting should be a strategic tool in urban planning, which can help many cities solve the current challenges. According to an organization's projection, 66 percent of the world's population will live in cities by 2030, and urban managers are facing an influx of people, many of which need to be addressed.

City needs light every moment, people have activities in the night, night lighting of the city can not only increase the security of the city, also can promote the urban economy. Such activity can enrich cultural life.The lighting of urban nightlife plays an indispensable role in city nightlife.

There is fierce competition between cities now. Each city wants to find a way to stand out. Lighting can help attract residents and attract economic activity. Lighting, especially monuments or buildings, can attract more visitors, and the lighting festival is also a way to attract tourists and promote economic development. In addition if a community has a good lighting, it will give adequate security space.People living here would feel very safe, and have colorful activities.

There are technological developments in the field of lighting that fundamentally change the way cities use light. The first is LED lighting, which is not only energy efficient but also costs less, so many cities now use LED light for lighting in the streets. In addition, lighting is now integrated with the information communication industry, and lighting forms a network. We can control lighting which is determined according to the induction. Light is on when somebody is approaching. A bike passing by, turning the light bright; passing away, dimming the lights. By this method, energy will be saved further.

Now smart lighting is a popular topic and not just limited to the illumination itself. It is combined with the city service, such as intelligent parking, transportation, and disposal, Wifi, and emergency handling, etc. It will help city adapt to changes of population, help to improve the quality of life of urban residents.
