摘要

Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring performance of a street light having at least one luminaire for illuminating an associated roadway. The apparatus comprises a sensor module associated with the street light for detecting light output from the at least one luminaire and a monitoring module operatively associated with the sensor module. The monitoring module includes means for monitoring the light output detected by the sensor module, means for determining when the detected light output falls to or below a reference level and means responsive to the means for determining, for indicating that the detected light output has fallen to or below the reference level. A method for monitoring performance of a street light is also disclosed.
