Itron and Current Lighting Collaborate to Expand End-to-End Smart Lighting Solution

The combined offering brings together Itron’s best-in-class management and control technologies, as part of its CityEdge portfolio, with Current’s industry leading LEDfixtures and luminaries, including its Evolve® Roadway product line. By bringing together Current’s high-efficiency LED luminaires with Itron’s intelligent controls, the joint offering empowers cities and utilities to optimize streetlight performance. Modern LED fixtures are designed to produce more lumens per watt than older technologies, which save energy and reduce costs. However, this increased brightness can lead to over-illumination and light pollution if not properly managed. Advanced controls from Itron’s CityEdge portfolio enable cities and utilities to dynamically adjust lighting levels, ensuring appropriate illumination while maintaining energy savings and streamlining inventory by reducing the need for multiple fixture types.

Interesting: The Three Pillars of Independence of an Organization

The 3 Pillars of Independence most commonly refers to a framework from the UK voluntary sector (specifically promoted by organizations like Bond and the Directory of Social Change). It is a toolkit for assessing and maintaining the independence of charities, NGOs, or civil society organizations.

The Three Pillars are:

  1. Independent of Party Politics – The organization (or regulator) must remain free from bias or influence by any political party or the government of the day. Decisions should be impartial, not favoring one political side.
  2. Independent of Populism – It should not be swayed by popular public opinion, media-driven campaigns, or transient public pressure, especially on controversial or unpopular causes.
  3. Independent of the Press – Freedom from media influence or pressure, ensuring decisions are based on evidence and law rather than headlines or public narratives.

This toolkit was created to monitor potential political encroachment on charitable regulation and to ensure charities can operate without undue external interference.
