How to build smart Street Lighting System quickly and easily

For more than 50 years, TE Connectivity (TE) has supported utilities, city authorities, and contractors with safe and reliable connection boxes and accessories for lighting poles for a variety of street lighting applications including:

• Public street lighting
• Private outdoor lights for parking lots and apartment buildings
• Industrial settings such as refineries and power plants
• Infrastructure, including harbors, airports and rail stations

Each of these types of lighting applications consists of the following elements

• The light source (light bulb, tube, panel)
• The light fixture (poles, on building facades,)
• The lighting control

Solid-State Lighting (SSL) is a revolutionary new technology in which light-emitting diodes (LEDs) replace conventional incandescent and fluorescent lamps resulting in more energy-efficient lighting applications. It is a fact that the LED penetration of the global lighting market is now over 50% and expectation for the next year (2020) is over 60%. Solutions from TE Connectivity reduce the complexity of LED street-light architecture, allowing you to speed your time to market, reduce applied costs, simplify integration, and improve assembly efficiency.

LUMAWISE Endurance N and LUMAWISE Endurance S Series

For lighting control, you can use very popular components from LUMAWISE Endurance N series (ANSI C136.41 Compliant). 
The ANSI C136.41 (standard for roadway and area lighting equipment) describes methods of light level control between an external locking type photocontrol (or similar device) and a dimmable ballast or driver for street and area lighting equipment. Mechanical, electrical, and marking requirements are established for dimming, locking type photocontrols, and mating receptacles. 
At the time this standard was approved, OSRAM, Philips, Eaton, GE Lighting, TE Connectivity, Toshiba, etc were among the members of the ANSI C136 committee.  

In LUMAWISE Endurance N series you can find:

• ANSI 136.41 compliant 76 mm and 81 mm diameter LUMAWISE photo control base assemblies with sleeves and covers in varying heights
• dimming receptacles
  

TE’s LUMAWISE Endurance N Enhanced base takes the existing LUMAWISE base assembly to the next level of performance required for smart street light controls by integrating a switch-mode AC-DC power supply, 16 A switching relay, and metal-oxide varistor (MOV) surge protector onto the NEMA/ANSI C136.41-compliant base. The base is available with an energy metering header in 50 Hz, 60 Hz, and 50/60 Hz options, with or without a zero-cross circuit.

As standard stock types we offer:

• Receptacle 2213362-4 with 4 dimming contacts supporting two channel dimming protocols.
• 76mm control base 2213730-1
• Translucent smoke cover for that base 2213748-1 with the height of 98mm 

LUMAWISE Endurance S

If you build your lighting system compliant with Zhaga Book 18, the series LUMAWISE Endurance S is for you.

LUMAWISE Endurance S connectors reduce the complexity of street lighting architecture by removing the need for auxiliary modules and the associated wiring. These Zhaga Book 18 street lighting connectors consist of a standardized receptacle interface on the lighting fixture and the base and dome components which combine to house a control module. Integral gaskets complimented with a low torque mating design seal both luminaire and module. The same receptacle connection accepts modules built on either the 40mm or 80mm diameter base. UV resistant materials and a refined design ensure high durability.
