Small street lights in Xinxiang, Henan Province illuminate the people’s livelihood

As night falls, Hongzhou Township, Huixian County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province is brightly lit. Under the street lights, there are bursts of laughter and children’s play. People gather in groups of three or five in the square, singing and dancing, creating a new scene of joy and peace in the countryside. This change is due to the effect of centralized rectification.

Since the launch of the special action of centralized rectification, Hongzhou Township has vigorously carried out activities to collect urgent and difficult problems of the masses, divided the whole township into 35 grids, and the cadres of the organs visited the grids to establish a full-staff responsibility system. Through the visit, it was learned that “since the opening of Hongzhou Township Community Street, namely the Hongzhou section of S311, due to many factors, street lights have not been installed on this section, resulting in difficulties for local villagers and students of the central school to travel at night, and safety cannot be effectively guaranteed.” After that, the Party Committee organized a research and judgment meeting and included the problem in the list of urgent and difficult problems of the masses. Immediately After a lot of communication and coordination, more than 100,000 yuan of funds for the purchase of street lights were raised. The working group members went from village to village, solicited opinions from residents, schools, shops and enterprises along the road, surveyed the locations of the entire road section, determined the quantity, and estimated the cost, formulated an installation plan, studied the feasibility of street light installation, and increased the number of street lights near the central school. During the installation, the staff worked day and night, closely monitored the manufacturer’s delivery progress, stood guard in the middle of the night waiting for delivery, inspected the quality of the street lights, and manually moved and placed them one by one. 56 solar street lights were successfully completed and put into use in just three days, covering more than 1,600 meters of roads, which not only solved the safety hazards of people’s night travel, facilitated vehicles to drive at night, but also improved the overall image of Hongzhou Township.

Combined with the “four deep and four clear” work, through further comprehensive investigation, it was found that Xitulou Village and Sili Miao Village had problems such as aging and damage of street lights, which affected the production and life of the people. To this end, the Party Committee and Government of Hongzhou Township urged the two villages to implement the street light renewal project. Xitulou invested more than 90,000 yuan to install 58 new solar street lights; Sili Miao invested more than 30,000 yuan to replace 110 solar street lights. With the active cooperation of the two villages, the street lighting project was rapidly promoted. It took only one month from fundraising to installation. We coordinated with relevant departments and communities to discuss solutions, set up a working group, and assigned special personnel to follow up the whole process to fully promote the “road lighting” action.

Photovoltaic street lights in Taihu County, Anqing, Anhui Province illuminate the road to happiness

In the beautiful Jieling Village, Mituo Town, Taihu County, Anqing City, Anhui Province, as night falls, newly installed photovoltaic solar street lights quietly shine, lighting the way home for the villagers, and lighting up the road of rural revitalization in Jieling Village.

Insufficient lighting at night has always been a major problem that has plagued the lives of villagers. In order to completely solve this problem, Jieling Village, after in-depth market research and comparison, finally decided to introduce energy-saving and environmentally friendly photovoltaic solar street lights as a solution. This type of street light does not require an external power supply and relies entirely on solar power generation, which not only reduces energy consumption, but also reduces environmental pollution, in line with the concept of green development.

By seeking support from superiors and mobilizing villagers to participate in the construction, with the joint efforts of everyone, from the purchase, installation to debugging of street lights, every link embodies the sweat and wisdom of the villagers. Digging pits, erecting poles, wiring… Every process witnesses the villagers’ yearning and pursuit for a better life. After a period of intensive construction, all the photovoltaic solar street lights were finally installed, achieving a 100% lighting rate for the village roads, adding a touch of warmth and brightness to the nights of Jieling Village.

380 LED street lights installed in Guangyuan City, Sichuan

On the evening of August 14, walking in Yangliu Village, Hexi Street, Lizhou District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the trees are shady, and the solar street lights are automatically lit up and winding. The villagers are walking and walking in groups of three or five, enjoying themselves.

“It was dark when I went out at night before, and there were many large trucks on this road. I was still a little scared to go out at night, so we asked the village if we could install some lights.” When mentioning the street lights in Xin’an, villager Yang Heping couldn’t help but praise. “Now I feel more at ease. Everyone often makes an appointment to walk to the square after dinner to digest food.”

It is understood that due to the limitations of development conditions, Yangliu Village, Hexi Street, has a steep terrain and is located in a valley area. The village roads are relatively narrow and unlit, making it inconvenient for villagers to travel at night. Because the village is connected to Yangmu Town, Chaotian District in the west, there are many large trucks passing through, and there are safety hazards in traveling at night, and the masses have great opinions.

In the face of the masses’ demands, “solution” is more important than “explanation”. In order to accurately and effectively grasp the situation reflected by the masses, Hexi Street relies on the “Come to Consult if You Have Anything to Do” platform, closely focuses on the difficulties in the lives of villagers, and orderly conducts small-scale consultations to help solve the urgent problems of the masses. After verification, Yangliu Village and Baishan Village under the jurisdiction of Hexi Street have not had street lighting, which has greatly affected the villagers’ night travel activities. Installing street lights has always been a strong desire of local villagers.

In order to effectively solve the problem, the street actively sought 376,000 yuan of provincial financial connection subsidies from relevant departments this year to support the construction of village road street lights. Since June, the “village street light project” has been officially included in the annual “doing practical things for the people” list. After many visits and consultations, cadres and the masses have opened up channels for discussion and brainstormed, and formulated a final solution for the installation points, maintenance and management of street lights.

After more than two months of construction, 380 solar street lights in the two villages have been basically put into use, benefiting 541 households and 1,666 villagers who travel at night, greatly improving the safety index of people’s night travel. Nowadays, whenever night falls, rows of street lights are lit up, like stars illuminating the night of the countryside.

“The interests of the masses are no small matter. The improvement and upgrading of infrastructure have enhanced the villagers’ sense of gain, happiness and security.” Chen Fengjie, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Hexi Street, said that the street will continue to promote the key tasks of rural revitalization throughout the year, continuously promote the upgrading of rural infrastructure and the high-quality and balanced supply of public services, rely on the new era civilization practice station, deepen the improvement of rural living environment, and steadily promote the transformation of customs, and strive to paint a beautiful picture of a livable, business-friendly and beautiful countryside.

New street lights installed on fitness paths

“I didn’t expect the problem I reported would be solved so quickly. Now we can come here for a walk very conveniently at night.” Aunt Fan, a neighbor living in Zhongshe Community, said happily. Longdong Cultural Square has always been a place for residents in the area to relax and have fun. Many neighbors play ball, dance, run and walk here every day.

New street lights installed on fitness paths

Recently, some neighbors reported that the fitness path near the Erheng Road of Longdong East Road in Longdong Cultural Square, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, had no street lights, so residents had to take a detour every night. They hoped that the relevant departments would coordinate to solve the problem of installing street lights to facilitate everyone’s travel and activities.

After receiving the opinions of the residents, the staff of Zhongshe Community, Longdong Street, immediately went to the scene to understand the situation. After verifying the situation, the General Party Branch of Zhongshe Community immediately used the relevant funds to implement the lighting project of the fitness path of Longdong Cultural Square. More than ten days later, the lighting project of the fitness path of Longdong Cultural Square was successfully completed, and more and more neighbors came here to run, walk and sit at night.

It is reported that since the beginning of this year, Longdong Street has invested more than 4 million yuan on the basis of solid research and selection of topics, and launched 58 key livelihood projects. It has coordinated with multiple parties to solve a number of people’s worries and concerns, such as the lack of electric bicycle charging piles, no street lights on the fitness path of the cultural square, few stone benches and stone tables in pocket parks, no rest and charging places for takeaway riders, damaged roads within the community, and difficulty in installing elevators in old buildings.

According to the relevant person in charge of Longdong Street, Longdong Street insists on serving the people first and carrying out the “Your Wish, My Volunteer” – the “Double Micro” action of party organizations and party members doing practical things for the masses. Up to now, local party organizations, street party members, community reporting party members, etc. have taken the lead in claiming 125 “micro wishes” of the masses, and have taken the lead in hosting and completing 67 “micro projects” such as “Love the River, Protect the River, and Clear the River”, “Patrol the Mountains and Rivers”, “Garbage Classification Station Buckets”, and “Build a Beautiful Balcony to Help Green and Beautiful Ecological Construction”, so that the masses have a stronger sense of gain, a more sustainable sense of happiness, and a more secure sense of security.

199 integrated smart lamp poles “settled” in Changji, Xinjiang

Recently, Wuyi Road, an important traffic artery that passes through Changji City, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is quietly getting a new look.

199 integrated smart lamp poles "settled" in Changji, Xinjiang

It is understood that Wuyi Road was built in the 1960s and has not been renovated for more than 20 years from 2002 to now. On the occasion of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of Changji Prefecture, the 199 street lamps on Wuyi Road (Tunhe Road-Qingnian Road) were replaced with integrated smart lamp poles with modern technological content.

“Integrated smart lamp poles” are smart street lamp products that integrate various information equipment technology innovations and composite applications. It includes street lamp lighting control systems, WiFi antenna base stations, video surveillance management, advertising screen broadcast control systems, real-time monitoring of urban environments, emergency call systems, charging pile systems, and manhole cover monitoring systems.

According to their different functions, they are divided into six categories: A, B, C, D, E, and F. The overall color is dark gray, which can realize the integration of multiple poles. The public security monitoring poles, traffic signal poles, communication poles, traffic sign poles, street light poles and other poles with urban service management functions are integrated on the pole body based on the street light pole, becoming an important carrier of smart lighting and smart city construction, which can greatly improve the level of refinement of urban management.

Next, Changji City will also integrate the public security monitoring poles, traffic signal poles, communication poles, and traffic sign poles along Wuyi Road (Tunhe Road-Qingnian Road). Reduce the various types of poles erected in the city, truly realize “one pole for multiple uses” and “one pole for multiple functions”, and make the smart city right next to you.

Smart light poles are not only an indispensable part of the public service system of smart cities, but also improve the efficiency of urban management with their integrated functions. At the same time, they also play an important role in beautifying the city and decorating the urban landscape, adding a touch of modern and artistic beauty to the urban space.

Singapore Parliament: Using smart LED lights to reduce energy consumption by 60%

The HDB Green Towns Program is a 10-year plan to make HDB towns more sustainable and liveable by 2030. The Green Towns Program aims to reduce HDB energy consumption by 15% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels.

Singapore Parliament: Using smart LED lights to reduce energy consumption by 60%

For solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on HDB rooftops, suppliers are responsible for financing, installation, operation and maintenance, and town councils (TCs) do not bear any costs. The solar energy generated is used first for public electricity services in HDB residential areas, such as elevators and lighting. Excess solar energy will be fed into the grid. Under this operating model, town councils may reduce electricity bills because some public services will be powered by solar energy.

HDB is also working with town councils to gradually install smart LED lighting in existing residential areas, which can further reduce energy consumption by up to 60% compared to traditional LED lighting. Town councils will bear the fixed costs, maintenance costs, and repair or replacement costs of lighting.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging points are being gradually deployed in HDB car parks. EV charging operators bear the costs of installing and maintaining EV chargers, which are recovered directly from EV charger users, not the town council.

Green Towns Scheme initiatives, such as the conversion of rooftop solar panels and smart LED lighting, not only make our towns more sustainable, but also help reduce electricity bills for town councils.

Each town council is responsible for managing its overall revenue and expenditure and reviews services and utility charges from time to time as necessary to achieve long-term financial sustainability.
