Apollo Metro LED SmartLights reduce energy consumption by up to 62% compared to legacy high-pressure sodium and metal halide systems, and lower maintenance costs by approximately 40%.

Yes. Improved lighting uniformity and optional integrated video documentation support a 5% to 20% annual reduction in property and casualty insurance costs, depending on asset class and insurer.

Yes. Apollo Metro systems are specifically designed for municipalities, ports, public works departments, logistics hubs, roadways, campuses, and public infrastructure. The platform supports phased deployments with centralized management.
