Smart Lighting Accessories – Empowering Smarter, Connected Cities

 

Smart lighting is more than just LED lamps—it's about control, connectivity, and real-time responsiveness. At the core of any intelligent street lighting system lies its smart lighting accessories, which include vital components such as NEMA controller, Zhaga controller, centralized controllers, solar charge controllers, and single-lamp controllers.

 

These accessories form the backbone of any IoT-enabled urban lighting solution, allowing cities, municipalities, and contractors to achieve automation, energy savings, and data-driven urban management.

Smart Lighting Accessory Types

 

1. NEMA Controller (7-pin)

Widely used in North America and globally standardized, the NEMA socket enables plug-and-play connection for photocells, IoT nodes, or smart controllers.

  • Compliant with ANSI C136.41

  • Weatherproof design for outdoor applications

  • Allows for dimming, sensing, and communication modules

2. Zhaga Controller (Book 18)

Designed for European and international markets, Zhaga Book 18 provides a compact, low-profile interface for modular smart nodes.

3. Centralized Controller (Gateway/RTU)

The centralized controller, often deployed in cabinets or poles, communicates with multiple nodes or single-lamp controllers.

  • Supports LoRa-Mesh, 4G, NB-IoT, or PLC

  • Real-time control and remote monitoring

  • Enables mass deployment and energy usage analysis

 

4. Solar Charge Controller

Designed for solar street light systems, the solar charge controller manages energy input/output between the solar panel, battery, and LED light.

  • Includes MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) for high efficiency

  • Supports light-control, time-control, and motion sensor modes

  • Optional remote monitoring capabilities

 

5. Single-Lamp Controller

Installed directly on the lamp or within the fixture, it provides individual control and feedback for each light unit.

  • Enables real-time dimming and status monitoring

  • Automatically adjusts brightness based on environment or schedule

  • Transmits data to the central platform via LoRa, NB-IoT, or Zigbee

Customer-Oriented FAQ

 

1. What's the difference between a NEMA socket and a Zhaga socket?
NEMA is larger and typically used in North America, while Zhaga is compact and widely used in Europe. Both allow smart node integration.

2. Can I retrofit smart accessories into existing LED street lights?
Yes, both NEMA and Zhaga sockets can be added to compatible luminaires for smart upgrades.

3. How do your controllers communicate with the cloud system?
We support LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, 4G, and PLC, depending on project requirements.

4. Are these accessories waterproof and outdoor-rated?
Absolutely. All units are IP65 or higher and built for harsh outdoor environments.

5. How do I know if the single-lamp controller is working?
You can monitor real-time status, power consumption, and faults through our web or mobile platform.

6. Can I use your solar controller for hybrid (solar + grid) systems?
Yes. We offer hybrid-ready solar charge controllers upon request.

7. Do I need software to use your centralized controllers?
Yes, we provide free access to our smart lighting platform, or you can integrate with your own system via open API.

8. What certifications do your accessories carry?
Our smart lighting accessories are CE, RoHS, and optionally UL compliant, with protocol certifications where needed (e.g. LoRa Alliance).

9. Do your sockets support DALI or D4i drivers?
Yes, both Zhaga Book 18 and smart controllers are fully compatible with DALI-2 and D4i.

10. Can you help with smart lighting system design?
Of course. Our engineering team provides custom layout design, product configuration, and project consultation.
