How is lighting controlled in Berlin?
Lighting is currently switched on and off using European radio ripple control. This employs antennae and receivers that are attached to the lighting system.
How is lighting supplied with electricity?
In Berlin, a lighting system is usually connected directly to the low-voltage (0.4 kV) Berlin power grid.
In other communities, they may be supplied via a separate lighting cable network.
