Smart Street Lighting and CCMS

Most street lighting bills are paid against a connected-load estimate, not against what each pole actually drew.

That single fact explains why the energy line never moves and why fault reporting still depends on a resident phoning the ward office. Control at the feeder panel was the right first step, and it answers a different question from the one the authority now needs answered.

Arrange SECCOM to meter one real ward for a month before the scheme is sized, at no cost. Actual kWh, actual burn hours, and how many poles were dark on any given night.

What you get. A pole-level baseline for that ward: consumption, burn hours and fault count, plus a dimming schedule set against maintained illuminance rather than against a percentage somebody picked.

Where SECCOM stops. The pole, the luminaire and the electrical connection stay in the lighting contract. SECCOM delivers the control network, the node and controller layer, the CCMS integration and the reporting.
