Automatic switching of street lights can be achieved through a variety of equipment and technologies, among which light-controlled switches, time controllers and wireless remote controls are the more common and practical methods. Users can choose a control method that suits them according to actual needs and scenarios to achieve automated management of street lights and the goals of energy conservation and environmental protection.
The street lighting equipments produced by ZHL LIGHTING GROUP are already compatible with various controllers. Users can adapt appropriate controllers according to their own needs to achieve intelligent control of street lights within their jurisdiction.
The following are three commonly used street light controllers:
1. Light sensor control switch
The light control switch (light sensor) is a device that automatically controls the street light switch according to the light intensity of the surrounding environment. When the surrounding light intensity reaches a certain brightness, the light control switch will automatically turn off the street light; vice versa, when the surrounding light intensity drops to a certain brightness, the light control switch will automatically turn on the street light. This method can save electricity well and also ensure the safety of driving at night on the road.

2. Time controller (Timer)
Time controller is another common automatic switching device for street lights. Different from the light control switch, the time controller performs automatic control based on the preset time. Users can set the on time and off time of street lights according to actual needs, and then connect the time controller to the street light circuit to realize automatic switching of street lights. This method is suitable for scenarios where street lights need to be controlled according to a fixed time, such as construction projects at night or street lights that need to be maintained.

3. Wireless remote control
In addition to light-controlled switches and time controllers, wireless remote control can also be used to realize automatic switching of street lights. Through the remote control, users can control the switch of street lights anytime and anywhere, and can achieve precise control of street lights in scenarios at different distances and at different times. This method is suitable for scenarios with relatively high requirements for street light control. For example, street lights need to be turned on or off at a specific time point, or street light switches need to be controlled on different road sections and locations.
