Valiciti — Street lighting technology and operations
A simpler way to operate street lighting
Valiciti combines managed street-lighting services with the Lumino technology platform and AI-driven automation. Authorities retain control of policy, budgets and key decisions, while Valiciti provides the operational support, transparency and specialist capability needed to run the service more simply and with less dependence on individual suppliers.
- CMS + AMS
- One environment
- Open integration
- Controller choice
- Operations
- Support when needed
The model
Technology, operations and shared intelligence
Three connected elements. Used together or separately, depending on how much of the work an authority wants to keep in-house.
Valiciti Operations
The operational service
Monitoring + Data + Reporting + Energy + Fault Management
Lumino Exchange
Shared industry intelligence
Hardware + Faults + Experience + Best Practice
Outcome
Better street-lighting operations.
Lumino
One platform instead of a collection of systems
Most authorities run a central management system, an asset management system, a highways system, one or more supplier portals and a set of spreadsheets that hold everything together.
Lumino brings lighting control and asset management into a single operational environment, with AI helping turn network data into action rather than another report.
Asset Inventory + map
Control
Dimming regimes, switching, commissioning and controller management across mixed hardware.
Assets
Inventory, structures, luminaires, testing and maintenance history in one record set.
Intelligence
Performance, energy and fault patterns interpreted so teams see what changed and why.
Integration
Controller gateways using the TALQ protocol, plus highways and works systems, energy data and reporting pipelines.
Valiciti Operations
Software when you want it. Operational support when you need it.
Some authorities want a platform and nothing else. Others have limited capacity and need help with the day-to-day. With Valiciti you can run Lumino yourself, or hand selected operational work to us and change the balance over time.
Network Monitoring
Daily oversight of communications, controller behaviour and network health.
Fault & Performance Management
Alarm interpretation, triage and follow-through with your maintenance teams.
Asset & Data Management
Inventory accuracy, reconciliation between systems and data quality routines.
Energy & Settlement
Consumption checks, unmetered supply data and settlement support.
Reporting & KPIs
Operational, contractual and management reporting on an agreed cycle.
Managed Operations
A future path where Valiciti runs the operational function end to end.

Economics
We changed the economics of connected lighting
Lower hardware cost
Support for integration using the open TALQ protocol helps hardware to be procured on price and suitability rather than platform lock-in.
Fewer overlapping systems
Control and asset management in one environment removes duplicate licences, duplicate data and duplicate effort.
Lower operational cost
Automation and shared intelligence reduce the manual work involved in monitoring, interpreting and reporting.
Connected lighting should save money — not simply add another technology cost.
Automation
AI that does useful work
Lighting networks already produce plenty of data. The difficulty is working out what changed, whether it matters and what should happen next.
That is the job we give the automation in Lumino.
Spend less time looking at dashboards and more time dealing with what matters.
Unusual lamp behaviour
Fault and alarm interpretation
Inventory inconsistencies
Communications problems
Energy monitoring
Reporting
Work prioritisation
Independence
Your lighting network shouldn't belong to your CMS supplier
The open TALQ protocol helps separate the management platform from the controller supplier. Lumino is built to integrate with controller gateways using that publicly available protocol.
That gives an authority room to move: choose hardware on merit, run mixed estates, migrate without replacing the platform, and hold a normal commercial relationship with every supplier involved.

Lumino Exchange
What one authority learns can help everyone
Street-lighting teams tend to solve the same problems independently. Lumino Exchange collects the operational knowledge that is worth sharing, so a fault pattern seen in one network is recognised quickly in the next.
Known hardware problems
Controller and driver behaviour
Firmware issues
Failure patterns
Integration experience
Operational best practice
Individual customer data stays under the control of the customer. What is shared is operational knowledge, not an authority's network.
More customers. More experience. Better intelligence.
Credibility
Built around how street lighting actually works
Valiciti was founded by people who have spent their careers developing, deploying and operating connected street-lighting technology in the UK — including the parts that are awkward: commissioning, data quality, faults, energy and reporting.
Lumino exists because that experience pointed to a clear conclusion: the next generation of lighting technology could be simpler, more open, less expensive and considerably more useful day to day.
