Smart Lighting for School Grounds
Empowering local schools with a smart, secure, and energy-efficient environment
Primary and secondary schools are the heart of their communities, often sitting directly within residential areas. Managing lighting across playgrounds, parking zones, and entrances is a primary challenge, requiring a balance between student safety and being a "good neighbour" to nearby residents.
TVILIGHT offers an intelligent lighting foundation that adapts to the unique rhythm of the school day. Our wireless control solutions allow schools to tailor illumination to drop-off times, evening extracurricular activities, and security protocols. We help schools reduce their carbon footprint while ensuring that safety is always prioritised for students, staff, and parents.
Responsive Lighting
Adaptable illumination that synchronises safety with the school calendar.
- Academic rhythm scheduling. Program lights to stay at 100% brightness during busy early morning drop-off windows, then automatically transition to an energy-saving “security glow” during late-night hours.
- Light-on-demand. For schools with evening events, sensors ensure lights brighten instantly for students and staff, and dim gracefully when the grounds are empty.
- Safe passage wayfinding. Create a “circle of light” that follows staff and students across the campus during late hours, ensuring no one ever has to walk into a dark zone.
- Vibrant community support. Easily boost lighting levels via a central dashboard for evening festivals, sports matches, or seasonal events to ensure a welcoming atmosphere.
One Platform for the Whole School Estate
Manage campuses, playgrounds, and parking areas from a single screen.
- Unified facility dashboard. School facility teams can monitor and manage the status of every light point across the entire estate through one central interface.
- Real-time integrity monitoring. Receive instant alerts if a lamp fails or if the system detects unusual power drops, allowing for proactive repairs before a dark zone becomes a liability.
- Mobile operational control. Empower on-site security and maintenance staff with a dedicated app to instantly override schedules for unscheduled late-night work or emergency events.
- Environmental data reporting. Access granular reports on energy consumption to track progress toward “Green School” goals and carbon reduction commitments.
Built for Educational Environments
Solutions designed for community harmony and long-term facility resilience.
- Being a good neighbour. Adaptive dimming and precise scheduling reduce intrusive light spill into nearby residential bedroom windows, supporting community peace.
- 3-level fail-safe. In the unlikely event of a system error, lamps return to 100% brightness automatically, ensuring the school is never left in the dark.
- STEM educational value. Transform the school’s infrastructure into a living laboratory where students can use real-world lighting data to study energy conservation and IoT technology.
Open and Future-Ready
A standardised foundation that integrates with existing and new school infrastructure.
- Any luminaire, any generation: Works with Zhaga Book 18 (D4i), NEMA 7-Pin and 5-Pin, DALI DT6 / DT7 / DT8 and 0–10V / 1–10V — from modern high-masts in parking lots to decorative courtyard fixtures.
- Open standards: TALQ-certified and uCIFI-aligned with a full Open API for effortless integration with existing Building Management Systems (BMS) or security software.
- Hybrid connectivity. Support for both self-healing RF mesh and Cellular networks provides the flexibility to cover dense urban school blocks or isolated rural campuses.
- The IoT launchpad. Every Tvilight-enabled pole can host additional campus-wide assets, such as Wi-Fi boosters, air quality sensors, or emergency “Blue Light” call stations.
