Socio-astronomical calculation: an invention by BH Technologies
Socio-astronomical calculation is an exclusive innovation from BH Technologies. It is the result of patented expertise that is revolutionising Public lighting management. Designed to light up at just the right moment, it combines scientific rigour with a sense of urban comfort.
A precise, intelligent and patented socio-astronomical calculation
At BH Technologies, we don't follow the stars: we calculate them. Our patented socio-astronomical calculation is a unique differentiator in the market. It is an invention born from observing the sky and the real needs of cities. Because sustainably lighting the world of tomorrow means knowing how to look at the sun... and understanding society.
Turning on street lighting is an art form. Thanks to its patented socio-astronomical algorithm, BH Technologies models the sun's trajectory according to the date and exact location. But that's not all: our system also takes into account foot traffic and seasons to adapt lighting to the reality on the ground.
The result: accurate, fluid and economical lighting, because nightfall never occurs in exactly the same way depending on the location or the day.

BH Technologies' patented socio-astronomical calculation stands out because it takes into account:
The Location
The seasons
Attendance
Three modes to suit every need
Pour offrir la flexibilité idéale à chaque collectivité, ce calcul se décline en trois modes intelligents :
- Standard astronomical mode : reliable and accurate ignition based on the position of the sun.
Hours of operation per year: 4,084 hours 34 minutes
- Socio-astronomical economic mode : to reduce the ignition time and maximise energy savings.
Hours of operation per year: 4,137 hours 30 minutes
- Socio-astronomical comfort mode : to offer users a smooth transition between day and night, without compromising on safety.
Hours of operation per year: 4,193 hours 07 minutes
Public lighting in tune with the seasons
The fundamentals of BH Technologies are based on a simple principle: lighting must adapt to the seasons and uses. That is why socio-astronomical calculations are incorporated into each of our public lighting products, whether they are our Radiolite or our light points.
Thanks to this system, every city enjoys optimal lighting comfort while reducing its energy consumption. It is a technical innovation, but also an ecological and humane gesture.
