Charting Savings from Citizen-Managed Street Lighting Controls
6 months ago the city of Saint-Brieuc in northwestern France allowed locals to control street lighting on 14 streets. Lights would be off at night by default after 10pm and app users to turn on lamps while using the street. In that time 188 hours of unnecessary operation have been saved, city officials are considering expanding the range of controlled lamps and whether to extinguish lamps after 8pm.
