Intelligent Illuminations will supply a lighting monitor and
control system (iLums) for all Virginia State Parks. Current outdoor
state park lights are controlled by photocells. The only option with
photocells is on at dusk and off at dawn, or completely shutting down
all power until it is manually turned back on. Now with—iLums—
park managers can turn the lights on or off with just a click from
their computer or mobile device. They will also know when a light is
malfunctioning allowing them to be proactive in repairs. iLums is a
customized solution allowing the state to better monitor and control
individual lights, comply with lighting regulations and standards,
and generate operating savings. With the future in mind, iLums also
helps the parks protect infrastructure and supports existing and future
infrastructure and technology upgrades.
Kiptopeke State Park is the first park to receive iLums. Some
lights have been powered off at the park due to budget constraints. All
parks will now have the choice to turn on lights for shorter periods of
time thus allowing for well-lit areas during high traffic times.
“We are glad to have this opportunity to save money which allows
for more lights to be on when we need them and off when we don’t,”
said Joe Elton, Director of Virginia State Parks. “This public-private
collaboration will benefit all participants and provide valuable data to
demonstrate the savings this technology can provide.”
Installation at all other parks in the state will continue throughout
the spring with completion targeted by summer.
“For nearly two decades, Intelligent Illuminations has been the
industry leader of smart, cost-effective, lighting product solutions,”
said company CEO Larry Williams. “We have revolutionized
roadway and area lighting and have the only secure, point-to-point
wireless technology. We are honored Virginia State Parks will use
iLums as their unique solution.”
Intelligent Illuminations’ secure wireless solutions create more
efficient lighting systems. Their patented products provide the most
efficient, effective monitor & control systems to their customers.
They’ve perfected their technology and revolutionized the retrofit
roadway and area lighting market based on customer needs and
feedback. As a result, unlike any other product on the market, their
customers are better able to comply with regulations, save taxpayer
money and create greener cities.
