Cities, towns and boroughs of 25,000 to 250,000 residents

Modernise the network without increasing the budget.

Public works teams run an aging network on a fixed budget, with rising energy costs and little field visibility, so every complaint turns into a truck roll.

What we hear from public works

I have to modernise my infrastructure without increasing my budget.

Aging infrastructure, fixed budget
Poles, fixtures and cabinets are past their service life, energy costs keep climbing and the capital envelope does not move.
The inventory is incomplete
Nobody can say how many fixtures are installed, at what wattage, on which circuit. A conversion starts with a count that does not exist.
Residents report outages before we do
A complaint comes in, a crew drives out, and half the time the lamp is working. Without field data the crew leaves blind and the political pressure stays.

What the system returns

Centralized control typically cuts total lighting operating costs — energy, maintenance and truck rolls combined — by up to 50%. Montréal published a target of 35% lower energy costs and 55% lower maintenance costs after connecting 132,500 streetlights to one platform.

Energy, with LED conversion: 30-40%
Fewer truck rolls: 4-8 years
Typical payback, LED and controls

One platform beyond streetlights

The same Dimonoff | SCMS deployment that runs your lighting network also manages parking availability, air quality and gas sensors, acoustic event detection, waste collection and sewer or river level monitoring — from the same map interface, with no separate system to buy or learn.

Mississauga: 50,000 streetlights since 2012

Mississauga converted 50,000 streetlights to LED with a utility-accepted meter in every node and cut energy costs 55% against its 2011 baseline. The system has been operated and supported since 2012.

50,000Connected streetlights

Mississauga, Canada

Mississauga converted 50,000 street lights to LED and put a utility-accepted revenue meter inside every node, so adaptive dimming could be billed on measured consumption.

The three questions that always come up

Technical

Will the controllers work with the luminaires we already have?

In most cases, yes. The RME controller mounts on a NEMA ANSI C136.41 socket or a four-pin Zhaga Book 18 receptacle and works with any LED luminaire from any manufacturer. Fixtures without a socket use the internal RTM module. One product code covers 100 to 527 V, 0-10V and DALI.

Financial

How is this funded without a budget increase?

Most projects combine grants with measured energy savings. Dimonoff prepares the documentation required by the FCM Green Municipal Fund, provincial programs in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, IIJA, NYSERDA and DOE Better Buildings. Purchasing can also run through Sourcewell contract #041525-DIMN.

Operational

How do we find a failed lamp before a resident calls?

The node raises an automatic alarm on a failed lamp, a power fault or a loss of connectivity. The alarm creates a work order directly in Oracle EAM or any CMMS through the REST API, so the crew leaves with the pole, the fault and the address already recorded.

Send us your streetlight inventory.

We will tell you what your fixtures, sockets and voltages already support, and what a three-month pilot on 100 to 500 luminaires would cover.
