On the afternoon of November 29, 2017, the Shenzhen Legal Affairs Office organized a public legislative hearing regarding the draft "Shenzhen City Lighting Management Measures." This event marked an important step in shaping the city’s lighting policies, with input from various stakeholders. A few days later, the office released a detailed report summarizing the key discussions and recommendations from the hearing.
One of the central topics was the need to define and limit the scope of landscape lighting, ensuring it reflects local characteristics and cultural identity. Participants emphasized that the city's existing "Shenzhen Urban Lighting Special Plan" should guide these decisions. They suggested that landscape lighting should be implemented only in designated areas, such as major landmarks, scenic corridors, and transportation hubs, as outlined in the plan.
Another major point of discussion was the implementation of the "three simultaneous" policy—where landscape lighting facilities are designed, constructed, and delivered alongside the main project. Many attendees supported this approach, believing it would prevent redundant construction and save resources. However, they also stressed the importance of inter-departmental coordination between planning, construction, and urban management authorities to ensure smooth execution.
The conversation then shifted to road lighting, with a strong focus on energy efficiency and environmental protection. Shenzhen currently has about 400,000 street lamps, including 240,000 LED lights and 160,000 high-pressure sodium lamps. The use of LED technology has already led to significant energy savings, with third-party tests showing annual reductions of over 50%.
Hearing participants proposed several improvements, including the widespread adoption of IoT-enabled smart street lamps and the replacement of traditional high-pressure sodium lamps with more efficient alternatives. Some also recommended using the EMC (Energy Management Contract) model, which allows private companies to invest in energy-saving upgrades and recoup costs through long-term energy savings. This approach not only eases the financial burden on the government but also supports sustainable development.
Additionally, there were suggestions to better manage the operation of street lights, such as adjusting their on/off times to balance safety and reduce light pollution. These ideas were seen as practical steps toward achieving a greener and more efficient urban environment.
The final report confirmed that many of the suggestions made during the hearing would be incorporated into the final version of the "Measures." Specifically, the regulations will include clear guidelines for landscape lighting based on the "Special Plan," and require that key projects implement the "three simultaneous" policy. Furthermore, the new measures will emphasize energy conservation by promoting smart control systems, advanced lighting technologies, and public awareness campaigns.
Overall, the hearing highlighted the importance of balancing aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability in urban lighting. By integrating public feedback and modern solutions, Shenzhen aims to create a more efficient and environmentally friendly lighting system for its residents.
