马德里近日更换了225000盏LED路灯，原文的题目是：“MADRID TO UPGRADE 100% OF ITS STREET LIGHTS WITH SMART AND SUSTAINABLE LED SYSTEM”，全文中却未能看到“smart”的因素。希望“smart lighting“不要再成为宣传的噱头。即使还没有Smart的年代，好的品质的照明改造也是有意义的。继阿根廷、瑞典和荷兰等之后，又一个国家大范围使用LED路灯，表达了国际上对高品质LED道路照明的态度。

MADRID TO UPGRADE 100% OF ITS STREET LIGHTS WITH SMART AND SUSTAINABLE LED SYSTEM
LONDON: Madrid leads the LED revolution in Europe, upgrading the totality of its street lighting in the largest project in the world of this kind. The new technology will save almost half of the energy used to light the streets of the Spanish capital.
The project consists of 225,000 new energy-efficient lights provided byPhilips, which has already done something similar in Argentina, Sweden and the Netherlands. Philips is a partner of The Climate Group’s projectLED scale up, committed to build smart, more sustainable cities through more efficient lights.
The efficiency of the new interconnected LED lights provided by Philips will enable energy savings of 44%, which will repay the cost of the technology upgrade – making the project costless for Madrid’s citizens. The lights will be controlled by a central system that will allow to regulate the lights across the city of 3.5 million people.
“This will be the biggest technological renewal ever seen in Madrid City. A change that will allow achieving some important goals. Namely, reducing the city’s energy consumption thanks to energy efficient luminaires, extending the lifespan of the city lighting and controlling light pollution by enabling the regulation of the intensity of light when and where it’s needed,” commented Ana Botella, Madrid’s mayor. “The new lighting installation allows us to make significant progress towards becoming a smart city, which is more sustainable and, in conclusion, amore liveable city”.
“The lighting renewal project in Madrid is a step forward in the creation of a city prepared for the future,” added Juan Sanabria, CEO of Philips Iberia. “Philips’s contribution towards Madrid’s efforts to become a smarter, safer and energy efficient city takes account of the needs of citizens and consumers by providing a lighting infrastructure that offers benefits beyond illumination”.
