Case Study | Xiamen Main Island Municipal Street Light Energy Saving and Smart Upgrade Project

Project Name:

Xiamen Main Island Municipal Street Lighting Energy Saving and Smart Upgrade Project

Project Address:

Xiamen City, Fujian Province

Road Lighting Solution:

Xiamen, a modern international port city renowned as the “Garden by the Sea,” is leading urban development along the southeastern coast with its high‑appeal ecological foundation and advanced governance.

Leveraging extensive experience in smart urban lighting, Opple Lighting has deeply participated in the Xiamen Main Island Municipal Street Lighting Energy Saving and Smart Upgrade Project, providing nearly 10,000 high‑efficiency LED streetlights and over 8,000 IoT power supplies, which are integrated into the municipal smart lighting platform, using technological illumination to help Xiamen become a dual benchmark for green, low‑carbon and smart cities.

As road lighting technology continues to advance, upgrading aging LED streetlights has become a key pathway to enhancing lighting quality and energy efficiency. After years of operation, some municipal streetlights on Xiamen Main Island have experienced noticeable lumen depreciation, gradually resulting in insufficient illuminance and impacting nighttime lighting performance. In this project, Opple replaced the original outdated LED streetlights with 200 lm/W high‑efficiency models, delivering a more efficient lighting solution to revitalize road spaces.

Higher luminous efficacy means lower energy consumption at the same level of brightness, not only resolving the dimness issues of pre‑upgrade streetlights and significantly improving the clarity and comfort of nighttime illumination, but also reducing the carbon intensity of urban lighting at the source. According to the Xiamen Municipal Administration of Parks and Gardens, after the LED upgrade, primary energy savings reach 40%, with secondary savings up to 60%, demonstrating significant energy‑saving benefits. Opple Lighting’s high‑efficiency streetlights offer advantages such as a high Color rendering index (CRI) and excellent illumination uniformity, effectively elevating urban lighting quality.

In terms of smart lighting system construction, this project extensively deploys Opple Lighting’s core IoT power supply products, supporting Xiamen’s intelligent upgrade in urban governance. The IoT power supplies integrate smart control modules with power driver modules into a compact unit housed within the streetlight head, offering smaller size, higher reliability, and stable connectivity to Xiamen’s smart lighting management platform, enabling remote intelligent control of streetlights and maintaining a lighting rate above 99.5%.

During routine operations and maintenance, the IoT power supplies transmit real‑time streetlight operating data, automatically report fault information, and precisely locate failure points, facilitating rapid response by maintenance personnel, greatly improving repair efficiency, and truly achieving digitalization, visualization, and enhanced efficiency in urban lighting management.

Xiamen is empowering the city’s coordinated green and digital transformation through a visible, controllable, and measurable smart lighting management network. Looking ahead, Opple Lighting will continue to leverage its technological and experiential strengths to let the light of wisdom illuminate every city’s nights.
