Finder Series 12 with NFC technology: efficiency and energy savings in public lighting
Efficient public lighting not only saves energy, but also improves people’s quality of life by providing a more comfortable and safe environment during nighttime hours
The Series 12 with NFC technology is Finder’s range of smart time switches for optimally programming and managing the switching on and off of lights, depending on the time and/or geographic location
In a world that is increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint, cities around the world are looking for innovative solutions to improve their energy efficiency.
One of the areas in which significant change is being made in recent years is public lighting.
The lighting system for streets and public spaces in cities plays a fundamental role in the safety and quality of life of its inhabitants. However, even today, there are traditional lighting systems that consume a significant amount of energy and resources.
Inefficient lighting not only has a high economic cost for cities, but can also contribute significantly to increased greenhouse gas emissions and light pollution.
Today’s solutions, such as energy-efficient LED lighting, smart control systems and light sensors, are revolutionising the way cities light their streets, as they enable adaptive and automated lighting that responds to the presence of pedestrians and vehicles, adjusting the intensity of the light based on actual needs.
But why is efficiency and energy savings so important in public lighting?
Cost reduction: Energy efficiency in public lighting can lead to significant savings in a city’s operating costs. Less energy consumed means lower electricity bills, freeing up resources for other projects and services.
Environmental sustainability: By reducing energy consumption, cities reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change. In addition, the adoption of more efficient lighting technologies reduces light pollution, preserving the visibility of the night sky and protecting wildlife.
Increased safety: Efficient and well-directed public lighting increases the safety of streets and public spaces, reducing the risk of accidents and criminal acts.
Quality of life: Efficient public lighting not only saves energy, but also improves the quality of life of citizens by providing a more comfortable and safe environment during nighttime hours.
FINDER SERIES 12 WITH NFC TECHNOLOGY
The Finder Series 12 with NFC technology is the range of smart time switches to optimally schedule and manage the switching on and off of lights, depending on the time and/or geographic location.
An ideal solution for saving energy in private contexts such as in common areas of communities and offices, night lighting of gardens and parks, and public lighting of streets and car parks.
The range is made up of a variety of devices that can be customised through multiple functions, making it possible to find the perfect solution for every situation. As for the change from summer to winter time, this is done automatically.
This is a range made up of different models that guarantee the use of light only when needed, and can be programmed from any smartphone through the Finder Toolbox application, the Finder app for professional installers.
Thanks to the ASTRO program, they provide savings from the moment they are installed. The system adapts precisely to natural light, turning the lights on and off precisely according to the geographical coordinates and the time of year.
Also, if the 230V AC power supply is not connected, the time switch will go into power saving mode: only the watch will remain active, although the display will be switched off to ensure a longer life of the power reserve.
NEW FINDER TIME SWITCH TYPE 12.B2 WITH GPS ANTENNA
The Finder 12 Series is made up of a variety of devices that can be customised through multiple functions, to which the new type 12.B2 Bluetooth astronomical annual time switch with GPS antenna has recently been added.
