Tvilight - Intelligent Light
This is an article about Tvilight, intelligent street lights which save energy. If there were more inventions like this, we wouldn’t have energy issues like we have today. Street lights are very useful. You need street lights at night because streets will be safer. Crime percentage will be a lot lower if whole town is light at night. Criminals are looking for dark places where they will hide and commit a crime. Dark is used for selling and consuming drugs, robbing stores, pickpocketing and many other things. Finally, if you walk down the street, if it is dark, you might not see some rock or a hole on your way and you could get hurt. One thing is certain - we need lights. I have prooved my point that we all need street lights, but, one thing is bad about it. Street lights cost a lot. Lightbulbs that are lighting on streets are a lot more powerful than the regular ones and that makes them more expensive, also. Just count number of lights in your street multiplied with the power of those lights. You will get the result that is fascinating. And those lights are being on all night probably. In many situations, there is no need for that. Many lights are on for nothing. That is the time when we waste energy and money. Another thing is that every light bulb has a limited time of use. If it is on during the whole night, the end of that time will come sooner and it has to be replaced, which costs.
This problem with lightbulbs and street lights was identifyed by a group of people who invented Tvilight - intelligent street light. What is Tvilight? It is a special light which saves energy and money. How? Well, it uses dimmable led street lights in combination with motion sensors. If something is moving in the scanned area, the light will turn on, if not, it will stay off. That simple. This fantastic product will save more than 80% of energy used for street lights and it is a great thing especially for some poor towns and municipalities all over the world, because they spend a lot of their budgets just to light the town, and if they could save that money, they could invest it in something else, like creating new workplaces, social affairs, creating kindergartens, supporting sports and education. This really is something we could use to improve our lives, because 80% of any amount is not irrelevant. Tvilight also reduces CO2 emission, which helps a lot in saving our planet from global warming and global climate change. Because of this, Tvilight was in top 10 in this years Sustainia Awards competition.
