Intelligent street lighting

Imagine you're walking outside in the evening, and the street lights automatically turn on as soon as you pass by them. This is what we call intelligent street lighting. It's like magic!

Street lights are usually installed outside to help people see at night and keep them safe. But, intelligent street lighting makes things even more efficient. It uses sensors to detect what's happening around the street lights. For example, if it's very bright outside, they might not turn on because there's no need for it.

Intelligent street lighting also helps the environment. In the past, street lights would stay on all night, even when nobody was around. But with intelligent street lighting, they turn off when nobody's around. This saves electricity and helps the planet.

So, in short, intelligent street lighting is like having smart street lights that turn on when they're needed and off when they're not. It's like having a street full of magic lights that saves energy and keeps us safe.
