From connected lighting to continuous performance optimisation
Schréder EXEDRA gives you the tools to monitor, control and analyse your outdoor lighting network. Unlocking the full potential of a connected system, however, requires specialist expertise in data interpretation, dimming strategy design and control system configuration. With more than 1.5 million connected light points managed worldwide, our team brings the operational depth needed to turn real-time data into sustained energy savings, reduced fault rates and long-term network reliability.
Continuous optimisation, measurable impact
Lower energy consumption
We analyse real operating data from your connected network and refine dimming schedules and control strategies to maximise energy savings without compromising photometric compliance or user safety.
Fewer unexpected failures
Continuous remote monitoring identifies anomalies and early fault indicators before they cause outages, reducing emergency call-outs and unplanned maintenance interventions.
Smarter maintenance planning
Asset condition data and fault trend analysis allow maintenance teams to prioritise interventions based on actual field status rather than fixed schedules, reducing both cost and response time.
Verified performance reporting
Structured, data-driven reports quantify achieved energy savings, CO2 reductions and system availability, providing the evidence needed for internal reporting, sustainability commitments and public accountability.
Connected lighting gives you the data. Our role is to help you turn it into optimisation decisions that deliver measurable results.

Schréder EXEDRA Genius: a dedicated smart lighting optimisation team
Behind the service stands a team of certified smart lighting specialists with hands-on experience across projects of all scales, from individual urban districts to large national infrastructure networks. Each Schréder EXEDRA Genius expert follows a structured certification programme and continuous technical training, covering connected lighting management, data analysis, dimming strategy design and CMS platform operation. Drawing on more than 15 years of connected lighting experience and insights from over 1.5 million managed light points, the team delivers a consistent, measurable service that reduces energy consumption, improves network reliability and supports your carbon reduction targets.
Actionable intelligence
Make informed decisions with clear, reliable insights from your connected lighting network.
Network asset visibility
Monitor the real-time status of every connected light point, identify coverage gaps and track the operational health of your entire outdoor lighting network.
Energy consumption monitoring
Track energy use at asset, zone or network level and measure efficiency improvements over time against your baseline consumption data.
Energy savings verification
Quantify achieved savings in kWh and CO2 with structured, auditable data suitable for sustainability reporting and public accountability.
Fault detection and prioritisation
Detect faults and communication failures automatically, with prioritisation tools that help maintenance teams focus on the most critical interventions first.
Fault trend analysis
Identify recurring failure patterns, understand root causes and take preventive action before faults affect operational performance or safety.
Optimisation impact analysis
Break down the contribution of each control strategy, dimming profile or configuration change to understand which actions deliver the greatest performance improvements.
Connected lighting as a smart city data platform
Connected lighting as a smart city data platform
An outdoor lighting network is more than an energy asset. The same connected infrastructure can support environmental monitoring, pedestrian and traffic counting, air quality sensing and integration with urban management platforms. Our Schréder EXEDRA Genius service supports the deployment of additional sensors and IoT devices on the lighting network, ensures correct system configuration and manages secure data integration with existing city platforms or third-party applications. The result is a shared urban data infrastructure that reduces deployment costs and supports informed, data-driven city management.

Frequently asked questions about our smart lighting optimisation service
What is smart lighting optimisation and what does it involve?
Smart lighting optimisation is the ongoing process of analysing the operational data generated by a connected lighting network and using it to improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and maintain system performance. It involves monitoring energy consumption, reviewing dimming strategies, detecting faults, analysing failure trends and producing structured performance reports..
Do we need to use Schréder EXEDRA to benefit from this service?
The Schréder EXEDRA Genius optimisation service is designed around the Schréder EXEDRA connected lighting management platform. If your network already runs on Schréder EXEDRA, our team can engage immediately. If you are evaluating connected lighting management options, we can help you assess your requirements and determine the right approach for your infrastructure.
How does the service reduce energy costs in practice?
Our specialists analyse your current dimming profiles, operating schedules and control strategies against real consumption data from your network. We identify inefficiencies, model alternative configurations and propose adjustments that reduce energy use while maintaining the required lighting levels and photometric compliance. Savings are tracked and verified against your baseline consumption data.
Can the service support your sustainability and carbon reporting requirements?
Yes. The service produces structured reports quantifying energy savings in kWh and CO2 reductions, with the auditable data trail needed for internal sustainability reporting, public accountability and climate action programme compliance.
We are not yet connected. Can you still help us?
Yes. Schréder EXEDRA Genius experts can support your project from the planning and specification stage, helping you define the right connected lighting architecture, select appropriate communication technologies and prepare your system for data-driven operation from day one.
What is the difference between commissioning support and smart lighting optimisation?
Commissioning support ensures your lighting system is correctly installed, configured and performing as designed at the point of handover. Smart lighting optimisation is an ongoing service that begins once the system is operational, focused on continuous improvement of energy performance, maintenance efficiency and network reliability over time. The two services are complementary and can be delivered sequentially as part of a full project lifecycle.
