The Intelligence of Light
Controls and connectivity for Smart City Solutions
Dynamic lighting solutions offer flexible, intelligent options that enhance functionality and aesthetics in urban spaces. WE-EF provides energy-efficient, responsive lighting that adjusts to motion, improving safety, reducing energy use, and enhancing the user experience. This adaptability is key for Smart City lighting, where IoT devices and data analytics optimise urban services.
Eco Step Dim by WE-EF
Eco Step Dim (Motion) is WE-EF’s control solution for street lighting that uses motion detection to activate illumination only when needed—minimising energy consumption and avoiding unnecessary light spill. While the surroundings remain mostly unlit, the system provides targeted lighting to enhance safety and orientation.

Choose the version of ECO Step Dim® that fits your application

Eco Step Dim Basic
A factory-programmed electronic controller reduces luminous flux to a preset value. One dimming level is programmed, typically reducing light from 100% to 55%, with the option for other dimming settings upon request. This version requires control phases (L’) to activate the switch.

Eco Step Dim Advanced
A factory-programmed, multi-step electronic controller reduces luminous flux and power. No separate power source is required, and five dimming levels can be pre-programmed, with the option for on-site reprogramming. Luminaires are switched on/off via a photocell or timer.

Motion and Advanced Motion
Eco Step Dim® Motion uses PIR sensors to adjust lighting based on detected motion. When no motion is detected, the system dims the lights to a lower setting, such as 20%. When motion is detected, the lights are ramped up to a predefined level, following the movement of people through the area. Advanced Motion combines programming with 5 dimming levels and a motion sensor (still under development for standalone solutions).

Programming ECO Step Dim®
These PDFs provide detailed forms for the factory-side programming of WE-EF luminaires using Eco Step Dim® technology. The Basic version allows users to define simple dimming profiles with two stages (D1 and D2), while the Advanced version supports more complex, multi-stage dimming (D1–D6) with programmable times and levels. Each form can be filled out and submitted with your purchase order to request custom programming from WE-EF.
