What Tvilight does

Tvilight Projects B.V., founded in 2012 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is a smart street lighting control company that provides cities, municipalities, transport authorities, and large facility operators with an integrated hardware-software platform for adaptive outdoor lighting. Its technology stack combines a self-healing wireless RF mesh network, PIR-based motion sensors (CitySense product family), Zhaga- and NEMA-compatible street light controllers (SkyLite RF and OpenSky IoT lines), a TALQ-certified central management software (CityManager), a smart feeder-pillar controller (CityCabinet), gateways, and a mobile commissioning app (Scan & Go). The Light-on-Demand feature dims luminaires when areas are unoccupied and brightens them on detection of pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles, claimed to deliver up to 80% energy savings versus always-on lighting; tunable white capability (2200K-4000K) supports human-centric and fauna-friendly scenarios.

The company monetizes through a mix of hardware sales (controllers, sensors, gateways), subscription or perpetual licensing of the CityManager software, professional services spanning planning, integration, commissioning, and post-installation support, and OEM licensing to luminaire manufacturers (Osram, TRILUX, Thorn Lighting, Zumtobel Group, Holophane, Gewiss, Lehner Leuchten) who embed Tvilight controllers in their products. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales to municipal and infrastructure buyers, supplemented by certified system-integrator partners (SPIE, Strukton, Heijmans, DEW21) and regional channel partners (IMTAC, Teleteknik, Hofeka). Osram holds a large minority strategic stake acquired in 2016, validating the technology with TU Delft and providing an OEM channel. The company is self-described as the European market leader with 1,000+ cities deployed across 35+ countries, including flagship accounts such as City of Dortmund, ProRail, Schiphol Airport, Amazon (Milton Keynes), Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Port of Moerdijk. The corporate entity is registered as TVILIGHT Projects B.V. (Chamber of Commerce: 28.052.105) and operates with 11-50 employees.
