International outdoor lighting distributor signs new deal with UK tech business

Data-driven business Telensa has partnered with LIGMAN having signed an agreement to combine aesthetic LED luminaires and wireless controls.

With energy and carbon reduction increasingly in the forefront of many cities’ agendas, switching lighting to LED is said to be an ‘obvious’ next step.

Including wireless controls could boost the benefits of LEDs, generating further energy and maintenance cost-savings, and future-proofing further smart city sensing.

Will Gibson, chief commercial officer at Telensa, said: “Cities across Asia Pacific are increasingly adopting wireless controls.

“Over the past couple of years, Telensa has deployed smart street lighting in Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.

“Partnering with LIGMAN will satisfy the industry’s need for high-end luminaires and wireless controls in a market where true commitment is being shown to the promise of smart city technologies.”

LIGMAN, founded in 1995 designs, manufactures and distributes outdoor lighting products globally.

Sakchai Manawongsakul, LIGMAN’s president and group CEO, added: “We are pleased to be working with Telensa, the market leader in smart street lighting. Together we will be able to offer a turnkey smart solution to the benefit of cities across the region.
