Well-lit streets make communities safer and cities more liveable. Adoforce Electrical Contractors helps municipalities and utilities upgrade to smart LED street and area lighting that uses less energy, costs less to run and can be monitored in real time.
Street and area lighting can make up 30–40% of a city’s total energy costs. Replacing traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires with LED delivers immediate energy savings. Smart controls can then save a further 10–20% by dimming, adjusting to ambient light or switching on only when motion is detected.
LED luminaires use far less electricity than HPS fittings.
Better visibility for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians after dark.
Longer-lasting fittings and remote fault alerts reduce call-outs.
Photocells, sensors and controllers allow real-time monitoring and scheduling.
Adoforce Electrical Contractors has held street light maintenance contracts with Centlec in Mangaung (2017–2019 and 2021–2024), covering supply and replacement of faulty street luminaires and repair of cable faults.
These long-term contracts give us hands-on knowledge of what keeps municipal lighting networks working.
Savings depend on the existing fittings and usage, but LED retrofits cut energy use immediately. Smart controls can add a further 10–20% in savings.
Yes. We also install solar solutions, so we can advise on solar-powered or hybrid lighting where grid supply is unreliable.
