Control

priorities

Gain control of your public lighting

Public lighting becomes easier to manage when cabinets, feeder groups, luminaires, assets and responsibilities are visible in one structure. Capelon helps municipalities move from fragmented control to a clearer operational foundation.

At our scale street lighting control is treated as an IT system with security, openness, and flexibility in mind. It’s not just a switching system it has to work as reliable operational infrastructure as the city needs evolve.

The municipal challenge

Cities need lighting they can actively manage

Many cities manage lighting through a mix of old switching systems, local knowledge, manual routines and incomplete asset data. This makes it difficult to know what is installed, how it behaves and what action is needed.

Why it matters

Control gives room to act

Without control, every improvement becomes harder: energy reduction, maintenance, safety adaptation, reporting and future planning. Control is the foundation for better decisions.

What needs to change

From passive operation to Structured lighting management

1

Lighting often follows fixed schedules and switching logic that are difficult to adapt, with limited connection between the lighting infrastructure and how it is managed.

Lighting behaviour can be organised by area, time and requirement, with a clearer physical and logical hierarchy across cabinets, feeder groups, luminaires, schedules and profiles.

The city gains a more practical foundation for managing lighting as an active service.

2

Different public spaces may be treated in the same way, even when their needs differ.

Lighting can be managed according to the purpose of each area – streets, crossings, paths, parks, residential zones or sensitive locations.

Changes may happen only after complaints, urgent needs or external pressure.

Status, performance and operating insight support more informed decisions and controlled improvement over time.

The city becomes better equipped to act before small issues become larger problems.

How Capelon helps

How Capelon supports better control

Segment control

Bring cabinets and feeder groups online so streets, districts and areas can be managed in a structured way.

Luminaire control

Add individual or group-based control where precision, diagnostics or local light behaviour is needed.

One operational view

Use GreenStreet vision to create one operational view of status, alarms, assets and lighting behaviour.

Standard and open

Connect lighting control to standards, asset data and wider systems so the municipality can evolve without losing ownership.

Expected impact

More control. greater flexibility. Better decisions.

A clearer view of the lighting infrastructure helps municipalities manage daily operation, adapt to changing priorities and plan future development with greater confidence.
