Smart lighting, monitoring, and centralized control designed for municipalities, parks departments, and public agencies.
Cities, towns, and public agencies face growing pressure to improve safety in parks, walkways, plazas, campuses, and civic spaces while managing limited budgets. Poor lighting contributes to slip-and-fall incidents, crime concerns, and liability exposure. At the same time, aging high-pressure sodium systems drive up energy costs and require constant maintenance.
Public officials must balance resident safety, insurance exposure, sustainability goals, and operational efficiency. Fragmented lighting and security systems make it difficult to document incidents, monitor performance, and defend against claims.
Communities need infrastructure that improves visibility, strengthens public safety, and reduces long-term costs.
Apollo deploys integrated LED SmartLight and Camera systems, connected to the Apollo IQ platform, to modernize public-space infrastructure and support risk-mitigation strategies.
The result is improved safety, lower operating costs, and stronger liability defensibility.
Billboard owners and operators can expect measurable improvements across safety, operational efficiency, and media value.
Lighting becomes a documented public safety investment rather than a utility expense.
“We chose to work with Apollo Metro because they have a light that is far superior to anything else that is currently on the market.”
— John W. Miller, Project Manager, Collier County

One of the most common questions from city and facilities managers is: ‘How do we pay for this?’ Apollo Metro’s Placement Concierge team specializes in identifying funding that reduces or eliminates out-of-pocket costs for qualifying public agencies.
Funding sources your team can explore include:
Ask Apollo Metro about a free funding assessment for your project. Many public agencies have installed Apollo systems at zero net cost.
Q: Does smart lighting meet DLC and DarkSky compliance requirements?
Yes. Apollo Metro luminaires are ETL-listed and engineered to meet DesignLights Consortium (DLC) Premium standards and International Dark Sky Association compliance, which are required for many municipal projects and grant applications.
Q: How does Apollo handle installation without disrupting public spaces?
Apollo Metro’s team coordinates installation scheduling to minimize disruption to park visitors, pedestrians, and civic events. Most installations replace fixtures on existing poles, with no trenching or changes to electrical infrastructure required.
Q: What happens if a unit needs maintenance?
The Apollo IQ platform provides remote diagnostics and alerts your facilities team to any unit that requires attention — often before a failure occurs. Most issues can be diagnosed remotely, and Apollo’s 10-year luminaire design reduces physical maintenance calls by approximately 40% versus legacy systems.
Q: Can the camera footage be accessed by law enforcement or claims adjusters?
Yes. Apollo’s optional embedded camera system supports secure access to footage for authorized parties. This makes Apollo installations an asset for both claims defensibility and law enforcement coordination in the event of an incident in a public space.
Q: Is there a minimum deployment size?
Apollo Metro supports projects of all scales — from a single park or plaza to city-wide rollouts with phased deployment schedules. Contact Apollo Metro to discuss a pilot program sized to your jurisdiction’s needs and budget.
