Smart Lighting for Ports & Sea Terminals

Operational Resilience.  Perimeter Security.  Maritime Reliability

Optimising large-scale maritime logistics with rugged, intelligent lighting

Ports and sea terminals operate in a world of high-volume logistics and harsh environmental conditions. Managing lighting across massive container yards and long perimeters is a daunting task, as maintaining constant 100% brightness leads to astronomical energy bills and light pollution that can interfere with maritime navigation.

TVILIGHT offers robust light control solutions to bridge this gap. Our technology allows port authorities to manage immense lighting networks with ease, ensuring high-intensity light is available for critical operations while automatically securing the perimeter and cutting energy waste.

Smart Lighting for Ports & Sea Terminals

Responsive Lighting

Adaptable illumination that supports safety without trading off energy savings.

  • Logistics-driven dimming. Synchronise lighting with terminal activity, keeping high-intensity areas like gantry cranes at 100% during shifts while inactive zones remain dim.
  • Security-linked triggering. If unauthorised movement is detected, sensors instantly switch lights to 100% brightness to deter intruders and assist security surveillance.
  • Constant Lumen Output (CLO). Automatically adjust power to compensate for LED aging, ensuring safety levels stay constant for the life of the asset.
  • Even, high-quality light. Deliver uniform illumination across vast plots to remove shadows near container stacks, improving camera clarity and ground-crew safety.

One Platform for the Whole Network

Manage container yards, loading docks, and vast perimeters from a single screen.

  • Unified terminal dashboard. Monitor every light point across the sprawling terminal, from central docks to remote corners, through the CityManager platform.
  • Real-time fault monitoring. Receive instant alerts for lamp or driver failures, ensuring corrective actions are taken swiftly in high-risk zones.
  • Mobile operational control. Empower crane operators and terminal managers with a dedicated app to instantly boost light levels for unexpected cargo arrivals or maintenance.
  • Automated energy compliance. Access detailed performance reports to track energy consumption and meet strict environmental regulations or corporate ESG targets.

Built for Maritime Environments

Solutions designed to withstand the challening maritime conditions.

  • Corrosion-proof resilience. Hardware is IP and UV protected, engineered specifically to perform long-term in high-salinity and harsh maritime environments.
  • 3-level fail-safe. If the system encounters an error, lamps return to 100% brightness automatically to ensure operations never stop in the dark.
  • EMC-certified hardware. Engineered to function reliably without interfering with critical port signalling, radar, or communication systems.

Open and Future-Ready

A standardised foundation that integrates with existing and new maritime 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 high-mast floodlights to terminal LED fixtures.
  • Open standards: TALQ-certified and uCIFI-aligned, with a full Open API, sharing data effortlessly with port management, security, and logistics systems.
  • Hybrid connectivity. Use RF mesh for dense areas with signal interference and Cellular options for remote zones, providing one end-to-end network deployment.
  • Smart-port ready. Every light pole can host air-quality sensors, traffic counters, and CCTV, serving as a digital asset for broader smart-port development.
