China　mobile　is　using　3G　and　WiFi　to　construct　a　everywhere　wireless　network,　named　wireless　city.　The　lighting　management　system　make　every　city　lighting　unit　to　access　a　unified　anagement　platform　via　the　wireless　network,　so　that　realize　the　acquisition　of　working　state,　the　setting　of　work　mode　and　the　automatic　report　of　fault　for　every　lighting　unit.　This　paper　mainly　introduces　the　lighting　management　node　and　the　unified　management　platform.　The　lighting　management　node　is　responsible　for　adaptive　wireless　network　access,　information　collection　and　control　of　the　lighting　unit.　The　unified　management　platform　is　responsible　for　establishing　the　feature　database　of　every　light　unit,　the　man-machine　operation　interface　and　the　illumination　energy　conservation　algorithm　of　the　whole　city.　In　addition,　this　paper　also　discussed　the　cost,　and　efficiency,　the　advantages　and　disadvantages　of　the　lighting　management　system.　Finally,　through　the　experiment　estimate　for　an　intermediate　city,　This　system　can　yield　high　rates　of　energy　usage,　with　pay　back　in　10　years.　©　(2013)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
