Abstract

The paper proposes a measurement analysis method of the performances of an advanced control system which are used in public street lighting systems. It is presented the hardware implementation of DIMM Light advanced system and the measurement analysis of this system using a Lab VIEW application. By use of the DIMM Light for controlling the switch on points of the public street lighting system we increase the power efficiency and quality of lighting level, and, in the same time, the costs are decrease.
