UrbaSens Move: Straight Forward Sustainable Urban Lighting Control

Modern urban spaces demand more from lighting than just illumination. This is why we’ve just launched our brand new UrbaSens Move system. It’s designed to intelligently manage outdoor lighting, providing the right light at the right time and place. This innovative technology prioritises safety, energy efficiency, and the protection of nocturnal environments. Whether for parks, car parks, plazas, or building surrounds, UrbaSens Move offers a user-friendly, sustainable lighting control solution tailored to urban needs.

Lighting plays a critical role in urban environments, enhancing wayfinding, improving safety, and encouraging social and recreational activities. Traditional, static lighting solutions often waste energy, disrupt local ecosystems, and contribute to light pollution. UrbaSens Move transforms this paradigm with features like presence detection and NightTune technology, ensuring illumination is dynamic and responsive. Lights brighten only when motion is detected, and dim back down when spaces are unoccupied, balancing energy efficiency with user safety.

UrbaSens Move’s intelligent controls allow for up to 80% energy savings compared to traditional systems. Features such as Variable Light Distribution and NightTune adapt lighting based on real-time activity levels and ambient light conditions. For example, during quiet nighttime hours, light can emit warmer, lower-intensity light, reducing unnecessary brightness and light spill. This thoughtful design helps to protect dark skies, preserving the natural nightscape and supporting local biodiversity.

1. Advanced Motion Scenarios

UrbaSens Move enables customisable motion-triggered lighting. Using neighbour lighting, luminaires illuminate ahead of pedestrians or cyclists, creating seamless pathways of light without over-illumination. This dynamic approach enhances user safety while significantly reducing energy waste.

2. NightTune Technology

NightTune adjusts the colour temperature and intensity of light throughout the night to suit the specific needs of the environment. During peak hours, brighter and cooler lighting ensures visibility. In quieter periods, warmer tones provide a subtle glow, minimising ecological disruption.

3. Simple Commissioning

The system is configured through a free mobile app, offering preset profiles and step-by-step guidance for quick installation. Adjustments to light settings, grouping of luminaires, and advanced scenarios can all be managed with ease, requiring no recurring costs or complex infrastructure.

4. Secure and Privacy-Compliant

UrbaSens Move operates on a secure Bluetooth network, ensuring that data remains private and protected. No personal information is collected, and all operational data is anonymised and stored securely.

Parks and Plazas

UrbaSens Move ensures parks and plazas remain inviting while respecting biodiversity. Through dynamic scheduling, luminaires respond to real-time activity levels, offering the perfect balance of illumination for human comfort and ecological preservation.

Car Parks

Safety is paramount in car parks, where pedestrians and vehicles interact. UrbaSens Move enables clear pathways of light without unnecessary brightness, enhancing security while protecting the night sky.

Building Surrounds

For residential, commercial, or public buildings, UrbaSens Move ensures pathways and entrances are well-lit when needed, minimising intrusive lighting. Integration with Variable Light Distribution (VLD) technology helps tailor lighting for both pedestrians and vehicle traffic.
