Dynamic lighting

LED luminaires began to make a name for themselves as early as 2008. The advantages of this type of luminaire are instant switching and the possibility of dimming the light intensity from 0 to 100%.

Since 2009, the city of Yverdon has been working on the development of the concept of dynamic lighting, with the aim of reducing both the cost of the energy needed for lighting and light pollution. This lighting is activated by motion detection. This technology allows, in residential areas, to achieve more than 60% energy savings for each equipped lamp post.

In April 2010, this system was installed on the 10 streetlights on rue du Mujon, the first test area in the city.

A name was chosen for this concept: "dynamic lighting". Tests are carried out in 2009 and 2010 on rue du Mujon and adjacent streets. A slogan accompanies the communication to local residents and the municipal authority: "in complete safety, light where it's needed, when it's needed".

The concept and equipment continue to evolve in parallel with the expansion of the facility. In 2012, an extension was made to the entire Coin de Terre district, i.e. around sixty light points spread over 6 streets.

100% Illumination

20% Illumination

At that time, suppliers of street lighting equipment did not offer a technical solution for the implementation of dynamic lighting. Yverdon-les-Bains Énergies therefore began working with a local company to develop a detector that could detect the presence of a pedestrian, a cyclist or a car but also adapt the level of lighting and communicate with other lighting points.

It is from the end of 2014 that the deployment will take place throughout the city.

By the end of 2015, virtually all mercury lamps will be replaced by LEDs.

In 2017, we will celebrate the 1000th LED lamp!

When the work to replace the existing luminaires is completed, the total power of the installations will be halved and the energy required to operate the installations will be divided by 4!

All dynamic lighting installations in the city of Yverdon-les-Bains are managed by the eDyn module. This module, developed by JDC Electronics in collaboration with Yverdon-les-Bains Énergies, allows to save up to 60% of the energy consumed by a LED street light thanks to its motion detector and radio link. It automatically increases the lighting when a pedestrian passes by and anticipates his progress.
