As Siegburg has grown,led street lighting has become an increasingly important feature of the town’s public space. Prior to 2014, Siegburg had a mixed public lighting infrastructure with many different pole, bracket, lamp, and luminaire types. Many of these led street light points were obsolete and did not meet high-efficiency energy requirements, and the lighting system had limited opportunities for transparent and flexible information gathering and sharing. Clearly, the time had come for change.

System managers can use RYGH CityTouch to create type catalogues, which make it simple to select resources and assign them to individual led street lamp points. Type catalogues for poles, luminaires, lamps, and brackets include all frequently- and recently-used types, technical information, and additional userconfigurable information. Type catalogues allow system users to generate and view detailed information on lighting-specific business processes as quickly and easily as possible. They also make mass detection and maintenance tasks, such as re-lamping, very quick and easy.​
