A skatepark after sunset carries a different kind of energy, where movement, rhythm, and community continue to shape the space.

At Hombruch Skatepark in Dortmund (Germany), this experience is elevated through smart lighting that aligns beautifully with how the space is used in the evening.

To support activity after dusk in a smarter and more sustainable way, the skatepark uses the TVILIGHT LightSwitch App, enabling authorised users to activate lighting on demand for selected groups of lights. The application is designed to give simple, controlled access to specific lighting points, making it easy to provide the right light for the right area at the right moment. Through features such as selections, presets, access codes, direct links, and auto-revert, LightSwitch brings flexibility, convenience, and efficiency to public-space lighting.

This creates a skatepark environment that feels safer, more comfortable, and more welcoming in the evening, while also supporting smarter energy use and a calmer nighttime setting.

Key benefits:
- Lighting on demand for evening use
- Zone-wise illumination for greater energy efficiency
- Enhanced safety and comfort for visitors
- A calmer and more pleasant nighttime atmosphere
- Lower carbon footprint through smarter operation
- Flexible access for public-space applications

This project shows how smart lighting can enrich the skatepark experience, helping the space remain active, comfortable, and sustainable after sunset, while ensuring every beam of light serves a purpose.

Along a calm riverfront, every step feels closer to nature, where quiet surroundings and flowing water define the experience.

At Rheinaue Rechtsrheinisch, a 35-hectare riverside park along the Rhine in Bonn (Germany), this experience is preserved while enhancing safety and experience.

To preserve this atmosphere after dusk, the park integrates adaptive lighting powered by TVILIGHT CitySense Plus motion sensors. Lighting remains gently dimmed during quiet hours and brightens instantly as visitors approach, maintaining a sense of safety while keeping the night calm, natural, and undisturbed.

Key benefits:
- Preserves the natural night environment: minimising light disturbance, helping protect nocturnal wildlife and maintaining the park’s ecological balance
- Keeps the riverfront calm and naturally dark: light is used only when needed, supporting darker skies and a more authentic nighttime experience
- Enhances visitor confidence without over-lighting: paths respond instantly to movement, creating a sense of safety while avoiding constant brightness
- Delivers measurable energy and CO₂ savings: adaptive dimming significantly reduces energy use during low-activity hours
- Enables intelligent park operations: connected monitoring provides real-time visibility and control over lighting performance

This project shows how adaptive lighting can enhance the riverfront experience, keeping paths welcoming for people while allowing nature to thrive at night.

Parking lots have a rhythm most people never notice – bursts of life, then long stretches of calm. Lighting that follows that rhythm keeps people confident, energy use lean, and the night environment peaceful.

Case in point: P+R Hoogkerk, a Park + Ride facility on the west side of Groningen, the Netherlands. Around 1.000 parking spaces with 2.500+ visitors daily.

By smartly dimming street lights using Tvilight's adaptive lighting solution, the parking area dims to 20% during quiet hours. When people or vehicles approach, the surrounding lights brighten instantly – delivering the right light at the right moment.

The results:
- 60% average energy savings every night
- Elevated safety through on-demand brightness in active zones
- Reduced skyglow and light spill for nearby residents and nature
- Lower maintenance costs through smarter operation and longer asset life
- Remote monitoring via lighting management software – energy data and failure reports at your fingertips
- P+R Hoogkerk shows what happens when parking areas become safer, smarter, and more sustainable – without disturbing the surrounding calm.

Airports operate 24/7, all year round, and so do the teams behind them. That’s why the right lighting matters for people, operations, and sustainability.

Case in point: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s P30 + P30E parking area. It supports the daily rhythm of airport operations by giving employees a dependable place to park before and after their shifts. Early mornings and late nights are part of airport life, and that means the walk between car and workplace deserves to feel safe, calm, and comfortable. As staff arrive or head home in the dark, well-planned lighting helps them feel welcomed and reassured, while still respecting the surrounding environment.

With Tvilight’s adaptive (motion-sensor) smart street lighting, the car park lighting automatically dims to 50% during low activity and brightens instantly when movement is detected, so light is delivered only when and where it’s needed.

As a result, the following benefits are delivered:
- Energy savings: reduced output during quiet periods while maintaining the right light at the right time
- Lower maintenance costs: fewer reactive interventions through smarter operations and improved visibility of performance
- Better operational efficiency: automated lighting supports facility teams and reduces manual switching and checks
- Staff comfort and safety: responsive light levels enhance visibility for drivers and pedestrians, helping people feel secure arriving and leaving at night
- Sustainability gains: reduced light spill supports lower light pollution and a smaller carbon footprint

This is airport infrastructure done thoughtfully – safer arrivals, smarter operations, and sustainability built in.

The best journeys feel effortless – pleasant, joyful, safe and in harmony with the nature.

Case-in-point: the Watersteeg bicycle path in Bernheze, the Netherlands. This scenic route is popular among cyclists and pedestrians, weaving through a peaceful landscape that truly comes alive in the evening. As daylight fades, lighting creates a sense of comfort and safety while still respecting the surrounding environment.

Through TVILIGHT’s adaptive street lighting solution, this smart bicycle road now enjoys light-on-demand and a safe circle of light. Equipped with intelligent lamp controllers and motion sensors, the solution ensures the cycling path remains adequately illuminated whenever people are around. When the bicycle track is empty, the lights gently dim to a pre-set level, preserving energy while still offering a sense of orientation.

This innovative approach delivers clear benefits for both people and the planet:
· Enhanced safety – Lights instantly brighten to guide cyclists and pedestrians with a welcoming circle of light.
· Energy efficiency – Illumination is delivered precisely when and where it is needed, bringing significant energy savings every night.
· Preserved night skies – Reduced light levels mean less light pollution, supporting wildlife and improving the nighttime experience for residents.
· Sustainability in action – Lower energy use translates into a reduced carbon footprint and meaningful contribution toward climate goals.

The Watersteeg cycling route is a living example of how smart street lighting enhances safety while advancing sustainability and protecting the nighttime environment.

Best innovations are simple and often hide in plain sight – like streetlights that smartly light up only when there is someone around!

Case in point: Heisenberg, a picturesque town in Germany, known for its rich history, cultural landmarks, and strong community spirit. As part of its journey toward sustainability and modern living, Heisenberg took a fresh look at its public lighting – an everyday element with extraordinary potential.

By adopting Tvilight’s motion sensor-based adaptive street lighting solution, the town transformed its public lighting infrastructure. Now, lights dynamically respond to pedestrian or vehicular presence – offering the right amount of illumination when needed and dimming down when the streets are empty.

This intelligent approach enables optimal energy use while ensuring public safety at all times.

Here’s how the town is benefitting from on-demand lighting:
· Saving over 55% energy every night
· Preserving the night sky by reducing light pollution
· Improving visibility and enhancing safety by offering adequate illumination when needed
· Cutting down maintenance costs with smarter, real-time monitoring
· Supporting the city’s climate goals and sustainability agenda
