Smart Lighting for Airport Infrastructure
Intelligent connectivity for the lifelines of modern infrastructure
At airports, lighting is a vital safety tool for ensuring smooth ground operations across vast and complex environments. However, keeping terminal perimeters, cargo zones, and parking areas fully lit during low-traffic hours leads to massive energy waste and high maintenance costs.
TVILIGHT transforms airport facility lighting into an intelligent asset. Our wireless control solutions turn airport lighting into a responsive network that adapts to flight schedules, vehicle flow, and real-time activity. We help airport authorities gain total control over the broader facility footprint, from terminal aprons to landside service roads.
Responsive Lighting
Adaptable illumination that supports safety without trading off energy savings.
- Flight-sync illumination. Synchronise gate and apron lighting with real-time arrival and departure data to ensure maximum visibility during high-activity windows.
- Dynamic occupancy sensing. Utilise Light-on-Demand technology in hangars and logistics zones to brighten lights only when ground crews or vehicles are detected.
- Constant Lumen Output (CLO). Automatically adjust power to compensate for natural LED fading, keeping safety levels constant for the life of the asset.
- Weather-adaptive visuals. Built-in sensors or API integration allow controllers to automatically boost brightness during heavy rain or fog to provide ground crews with critical visual clarity.
One Platform for Airside & Landside
Manage terminal aprons, cargo hubs, and service roads from a single screen.
- Unified facility management. Monitor terminal perimeters, forecourts, parking hubs, and remote cargo roads from one centralized dashboard with a single login.
- Real-time health monitoring. Receive instant alerts for lamp or driver failures in high-security zones, allowing for planned maintenance instead of manual night patrols.
- Mobile operational control. Empower authorised ground staff with a dedicated app to override schedules for emergency repairs or specific cargo tasks on the spot.
- Insightful heatmaps. Visualise passenger and vehicle flow through sensor data to optimise facility layouts and ground operations.
Built for Airport Environments
Solutions designed to withstand the toughest conditions in the aviation sector.
- Signal integrity. Wireless controllers are engineered to perform reliably amidst the constant electromagnetic interference and high-frequency environments of modern airports.
- 3-level fail-safe. If a system error occurs, lamps return to 100% brightness automatically to ensure the facility is never left in the dark.
- Ruggedised protection: IP and IK-rated housings keep water, dust, salt spray, and grit out, ensuring long-term hardware survival in exposed environments.
Open and Future-Ready
A standardised foundation that integrates with existing and new airport 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 apron floodlights to terminal LED fixtures.
- Open standards: TALQ-certified and uCIFI-aligned, with a full Open API. Data flows cleanly into airport BMS, security, and smart-hub platforms.
- Hybrid connectivity. A self-healing RF mesh for dense terminal environments, combined with cellular options for remote perimeters and fuel farms – one deployment, end-to-end coverage.
- Smart-airport ready. Each pole and platform node can host air-quality sensors, asset tracker, 5G small cells, and CCTV over the same network – no second system to install.
