Jaipur, India’s vibrant “Pink City,” renowned for its rich history and rapid urban growth, is now setting new standards in sustainable development with Tvilight’s state-of-the-art smart street lighting.

Project Overview

In collaboration with local authorities, Tvilight deployed an advanced smart street lighting solution in Jaipur. Featuring Tvilight’s OpenSky IoT controllers and the CityManager light management platform, the system transforms the city into a safer, energy-efficient urban space.

Challenges

Modernizing Outdated Lighting Infrastructure
Jaipur’s traditional street lighting was energy-intensive, required frequent maintenance, and lacked flexibility. The absence of real-time monitoring led to inefficiencies and increased costs.

Addressing Rising Energy Costs
With urban expansion, energy costs and carbon emissions increased significantly. The local government sought a solution that could curb these costs and align with Jaipur’s sustainability targets.

Enhancing Safety
Inadequate lighting in certain areas created dark spots that raised safety concerns among residents. Additionally, reporting faulty streetlights was challenging for citizens, making it difficult for authorities to maintain consistent lighting.
