Smart Lighting for Public Parks & Plazas
Transforming public spaces into vibrant, safe, and sustainable community hubs
Public parks and plazas are essential for urban well-being, serving as spaces for recreation, social gathering, and transit. However, lighting these areas poses a unique challenge. They must feel safe and inviting after dark, yet excessive lighting disturbs local biodiversity, disrupts the tranquility of the environment, and wastes significant energy during quiet hours.
TVILIGHT offers a "Human-Centric" approach to public space lighting. Our smart solutions ensure that parks and plazas are beautifully and safely illuminated the moment someone enters, while dimming to a soft, eco-friendly glow when the space is empty. We help cities create "Living Rooms" that are secure, welcoming, and in perfect harmony with nature.
Responsive Lighting
Dynamic illumination that supports a safe, seamless journey through public spaces.
- Light-on-demand. Sensors detect pedestrians or cyclists and instantly transition lights from an energy-saving glow to a warm, welcoming brightness.
- Safe passage wayfinding. A “cocoon of light” follows visitors as they move along winding paths or through open plazas, ensuring they are always visible and secure.
- Atmospheric scene management. Thanks to native support for DT6, DT7 and DT8 control, easily adjust brightness, color and temperature for evening markets, outdoor concerts, or seasonal festivals via a central dashboard to set the perfect mood.
- Emergency overrides. Authorities can instantly set the entire park to 100% brightness during local emergencies to assist public safety officers and guide visitors to exits.
One Platform for the Entire Urban Green Network
Manage lighting on parks, historic squares, and waterfronts from a single screen.
- Unified dashboard. Monitor and manage every light point across all city parks and plazas from a single centralised CityManager interface.
- Proactive safety monitoring. Receive instant alerts if a lamp fails, allowing for immediate repairs to ensure that no part of the park or public space becomes a “dark zone.”
- Space utilisation insights. Use sensor-driven occupancy data to understand how different areas of the park or plaza are used, helping city planners optimise maintenance and landscape design.
- Mobile operational control. Empower maintenance crews with a dedicated app to override schedules for late-night event cleanup or emergency maintenance.
Built for Public Environments
Solutions designed for architectural harmony and ecological preservation.
- Bio-friendly illumination. Intelligent dimming protects local ecosystems and nocturnal wildlife by ensuring high-intensity light is only active when humans are present.
- Dark Sky compliance. Precise controls significantly reduce “Sky Glow” and light spill, returning a clear view of the stars to the community while meeting strict environmental standards.
- Architectural integration. Compact sensors and controllers fit modern or heritage-style lamps without altering the aesthetic look of historic plazas or natural landscapes.
- 3-level fail-safe. In the unlikely event of a system failure, lamps automatically return to 100% brightness, ensuring the public is never left in the dark.
Open and Future-Ready
A standardised foundation for the connected city of the future.
- 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 decorative courtyard fixtures to high-mast area lighting.
