Our Mission
Why Smart Lighting Detection?
We envision a future where urban lighting intelligently adapts to human presence, creating safer communities while drastically reducing energy consumption. Through our AI-powered smart lighting detection system, we're transforming traditional street lighting into an intelligent network that serves both environmental and social needs.
Traditional street lighting systems operate at full capacity regardless of usage, resulting in significant energy waste. Studies show that conventional street lights account for approximately 40% of cities' electricity consumption. Our smart lighting system can reduce this energy usage by 50-80%, depending on implementation and traffic patterns.
Consider these facts:
- LEDs save 1400 million tons of CO2 compared to High Pressure Sodium Bulbs (The climate benefits of smart streetlight upgrades)
- Most street areas remain empty 60% of nighttime hours (U.S. Department of Energy)
- Traditional systems waste energy during low-traffic periods, especially between 11 PM and 5 AM
- Smart lighting can reduce energy consumption by up to 80% (IEA Energy Efficiency Report)
- Cities spend up to 40% of their energy budgets on street lighting (European Commission, 2023)

Cost Efficiency
- Reduces municipal energy bills by 50-70%
- Extends equipment lifetime through optimized usage
Smart City Integration
- Seamlessly integrates with existing urban infrastructure
- Provides valuable data for city planning and optimization
Project Goals
We want to build prototypes that achieve the following goals:
1. Environmental Impact
- Reduce energy consumption by 70% compared to traditional systems
- Lower carbon emissions by 50,000 tons annually per city
2. Safety Enhancement
- Implement real-time incident detection and reporting
- Reduce crime rates in equipped areas by 30%
- AI-powered infrared cameras detect unsafe situations/objects to the police department
For long-term goals, we would like city governments to implement our smart lighting systems.
Our smart lighting detection system represents a crucial step toward sustainable urban infrastructure. With the combination of energy efficiency and public safety, we're saving both energy and lives.
