Security lighting simulation
Solstrata simulates existing and proposed lighting conditions within the full site context to understand how illumination actually behaves at night. By modeling light levels, falloff, shadowing, and obstructions, we identify dark zones, uneven coverage, and areas where lighting undermines detection and assessment.
This allows teams to refine fixture placement and output during design, reduce unnecessary lighting, and ensure nighttime security performance is intentional, measurable, and effective before construction begins.
We simulate how light actually behaves at night so security decisions are based on reality, not assumptions.
Lighting decisions have consequences
Security lighting that is poorly planned can create new risks instead of reducing them. Solstrata helps utilities design lighting intentionally by understanding where illumination helps security, where it creates exposure, and how existing infrastructure constraints shape what is possible.
The result is lighting that supports security goals without introducing operational, safety, or liability concerns.
Avoid highlighting critical assets
Simulated lighting reveals when fixtures unintentionally spotlight transformers or equipment. Designs are adjusted to improve visibility while reducing exposure and avoiding drawing attention to critical assets.
Reduce safety and liability risk
We evaluate how security lighting affects nearby roadways and public areas, ensuring alarm activated illumination improves security without creating glare, distraction, or safety risks for motorists.
Optimize within existing constraints
Lighting performance is modeled using existing power and fixture locations, allowing utilities to improve coverage and effectiveness without relocating infrastructure or adding unnecessary equipment.
Explore before committing
Solstrata allows lighting designs to be adjusted dynamically within the site model. Teams can test different fixture types, beam spreads, and coverage patterns instantly, making it easy to compare options and refine decisions before construction.
