The City of Naperville

Introduction

Downtown Naperville is like no other! Just 30 minutes from Chicago, pedestrian friendly, historic downtown Naperville has stores, dining and businesses.

The Challenge Faced

Decorative lighting is all about creating a mood and adding interest to a city scape. The city was looking for a decorative post top LED streetlight retrofit for the downtown area that could accommodate a full-size node with smart city IoT technology. After several months of meeting with city officials regarding the look and functionally of the fixtures, the city selected several different manufacturers to install trial fixtures in the downtown area for evaluation. TWG alongside GE was chosen because they met the aesthetics and functionally that the city desired.
