History of Smart Street Lamp Development

March 23, 2023

Nowadays, many people already have a preliminary understanding of smart street lights, but some friends still want to know more about smart street lights, so today I will introduce some information about the development history of smart street lights information.

The history of human development is a history of entrepreneurship in pursuit of light. If counting from the ancient Roman period, then street lamps have a history of 2,800 years. In ancient Rome, rich people used vegetable oil lamps to illuminate their doorways, and special slaves were responsible for lighting, extinguishing and watching the lamps. In 1417, the Mayor of London ordered that all households must hang lanterns outdoors - the first public street lighting organized by the government. In 1807, London had the first street lit with gas lamps. In 1878, Paris, France installed the world's first arc street lamp. In 1879, Edison successfully made an incandescent light bulb with carbon fiber as a filament. In the 1930s, the low-pressure sodium lamp was invented in Europe. In 1962, American Nick Holonyak Jr. developed a visible light-emitting diode (LED). In 1965, GE Company of the United States launched high-pressure sodium lamps. Currently, HID lights are still the most common type of street lights on the planet.

In 2006, the European Union launched the European Living Lab organization, which uses new tools and methods, advanced information and communication technologies to mobilize "collective intelligence and creativity" in all aspects, and provides opportunities for solving social problems. The organization also launched the European Smart Cities Network.

In 2008, at the Council on Foreign Relations held in New York, IBM proposed the concept of "Smart Earth", which in turn sparked an upsurge in smart city construction.

In 2010, IBM officially put forward the vision of "Smart City", hoping to contribute to the development of cities in the world and China. It is worth mentioning that smart street lights also date back to this period - the earliest smart street lights were developed by a company in Germany, and charging piles were installed on ordinary street lights.

In 2016, at the CEBIT exhibition in Hannover, Germany, Huawei released the first multi-level intelligent control lighting IoT solution, aiming to use urban street lighting as an entry point to enter the field of intelligent lighting.
