SkyLite is a wireless smart city street lighting controller designed to provide advanced monitoring and control of public lighting fixtures, creating a safer, more energy-efficient, and highly intelligent urban environment. Serving as a cornerstone for smart city applications, the SkyLite system enables cities to manage their street lighting infrastructure with precision and flexibility, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings while maintaining public safety. The system is fully compatible with Tvilight’s broader ecosystem, including CitySense street light motion sensors and Gateway devices, and can be managed remotely through the TALQ-certified CityManager smart city software platform. This integration allows operators to program ENEC-compliant SkyLite controllers to dim or brighten street lights according to area-specific needs, monitor lamp performance, detect faults automatically, and execute proactive maintenance through instant alerts and notifications.
SkyLite is offered in two variants: an internal mount version for installation inside luminaires and an external pole-mounted version, providing versatile deployment options to suit diverse urban lighting configurations. Both variants support common dimming control protocols, including 0-10V and DALI, ensuring universal luminaire compatibility regardless of manufacturer. This flexibility allows municipalities to modernize existing lighting infrastructure without the need to replace current fixtures, making SkyLite a highly adaptable and cost-effective solution for smart street lighting.
Advanced dimming and adaptive lighting schedules are key features of the SkyLite controller. Operators can set citywide lighting levels based on sunrise and sunset times, event calendars, daily or weekly schedules, or advanced seasonal schedules. Adaptive lighting can be further enhanced when SkyLite is paired with CitySense motion sensors, including the CitySense Plus and CitySense Lite (with Zhaga RF OLC), enabling light-on-demand operation that improves safety and optimizes energy use. Through these capabilities, cities can achieve up to 60% energy savings while significantly reducing CO2 emissions, demonstrating both environmental and operational benefits.
SkyLite also contributes to reducing operational costs. With proactive alerts and notifications for faults, alarms, and outages, maintenance teams can respond promptly, optimizing repair schedules and potentially reducing maintenance costs by up to 50%. The system provides total control over the city’s lighting network, allowing operators to monitor, manage, and control each individual street light or entire groups remotely from a single centralized location. Real-time performance insights enhance decision-making and allow municipalities to identify areas for efficiency improvements, while off-peak dimming reduces light pollution and benefits nocturnal wildlife.
The SkyLite system is designed for full remote management. Operators can use CityManager or compatible third-party software to monitor and control all connected street lights, configure custom schedules, and adapt lighting levels according to city needs. Its fail-safe design includes a multi-level backup system, ensuring that, in the unlikely event of a controller failure, street lights revert automatically to standard non-adaptive operation. Timely notifications delivered through CityManager help operators respond quickly to any issues, maintaining uninterrupted public lighting services.
Additionally, SkyLite features an inbuilt astronomical clock with a backup battery, allowing automatic lamp switching at sunset and sunrise and seasonal adjustment of on/off times, eliminating reliance on conventional photocells. Its open architecture ensures compatibility with third-party products and software, allowing seamless integration with a variety of smart city solutions and future-proofing urban lighting systems. Overall, SkyLite provides a reliable, flexible, and efficient solution for modern cities seeking to optimize energy use, improve public safety, and implement sustainable, intelligent street lighting infrastructure.
