Itron has entered a joint marketing agreement with Current Lighting Solutions – (Current), to deliver a combined smart lighting solution designed to maximize the safety, energy efficiency and operational benefits of enhanced luminaire technology. The combined offering brings together Itron’s best-in-class management and control technologies, as part of its CityEdge portfolio, with Current’s industry leading LED fixtures and luminaries, including its Evolve® Roadway product line.
By bringing together Current’s high-efficiency LED luminaires with Itron’s intelligent controls, the joint offering empowers cities and utilities to optimize streetlight performance. Modern LED fixtures are designed to produce more lumens per watt than older technologies, which save energy and reduce costs. However, this increased brightness can lead to over-illumination and light pollution if not properly managed.
Itron’s CityEdge portfolio extends the value of smart lighting by enabling cities to manage their streetlight infrastructure with precision. Beyond dimming and energy cost reduction, CityEdge offers remote asset monitoring and streetlight fault detection. The platform also supports the integration with additional sensors, such as air quality, traffic and weather, allowing cities to take advantage of multiple smart city applications to improve community safety. When paired with Current’s luminaires, CityEdge not only provides a more responsive lighting environment but helps streamline operations through features like automated asset management data collection with Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) drivers.
