The city of Düsseldorf wants to become climate-neutral by 2035 and develop into a smart city. Because public lighting is of central importance for this initiative, the city is relying on the potential of Interact.
Intelligent lighting and the smart city
“If we illuminate public spaces better and bring light to where it is actually needed, this directly increases the quality of stay and is a key factor in a smart city.”
Florian Fuchs, Smart City Expert, Stadtwerke Düsseldorf AG
The solution
In close cooperation with Signify, Interact was initially tested as part of a pilot project on Düsseldorf's Fürstenwall. The technicians responsible were particularly impressed by the flexible individual luminaire control and the lighting quality of the networked Philips LumiStreet luminaires, which work seamlessly with Interact. The transition to Interact connected lighting began in 2022, with over 3,000 public light points networked so far. 50,000 luminaires are still using conventional technology and need to be upgraded. The city plans to renovate 3,000 light points per year to achieve their digitalization and climate goals by 2035.
