Smart Outdoor Lighting Project Case: Swan Lake Landscape Lighting in Hefei Luyang City
Project Background
Swan Lake is located in Shushan District, Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, sitting at the core of the Municipal Administrative & Cultural New District. Covering around 1,040 mu, this man-made lake is one of Hefei’s largest open urban parks, equipped with sculptures, garden greenery, artificial beaches and musical fountains.
Since 2017, Hefei municipal government launched dozens of urban landscape upgrading projects to upgrade city nightscape and boost nighttime tourism value. As the core landmark of the new civic district, Swan Lake needed an integrated “Internet Plus” smart lighting solution to enhance urban image and sightseeing experience.
Jinan Sanxing Lighting customized modular Smart Outdoor Lighting (Smart Courtyard Lamp) for the whole scenic zone. 30 sets of multi-functional smart lamps were installed at all park entrances, integrating six core functional modules (excluding charging piles and tree floodlights) to realize unified lighting, landscape display and intelligent park management, building a fully intelligent Swan Lake scenic area.
Product Advantage: Modular Smart Outdoor Lighting
The Sanxing Smart Outdoor Lighting features minimalist industrial appearance with freely combinable functional modules. Supported by stable communication technology, all devices can be remotely managed and operated in a unified cloud platform. Main functional modules adopted in this project:
HD Surveillance Module
All entrance lamps are equipped with monitoring cameras for daily crowd management and public safety control.
Adopts H.265 high-efficiency compression algorithm to save storage space greatly
High-power infrared array, low power consumption, 30-meter long-distance night vision
Supports offline video recording to avoid data loss; matched with Smart NVR for intelligent video retrieval, analysis and playback
Helps management staff monitor park real-time conditions and handle emergencies efficiently
Outdoor WiFi Coverage Module
High-power outdoor wireless AP solves the problem of public area network shortage:
Max air interface rate up to 300Mbps
Anti-interference & bidirectional adaptive modulation technology
50-meter effective WiFi coverage, providing free stable network for tourists and citizens
Cultural Ground Projection Module
The core landscape highlight of this Smart Outdoor Lighting is the ground projection function, following Sanxing’s design philosophy of “Light Up City with Culture”. Customized patterns are tailored to Hefei’s local humanities and regional features:
Four-season plants, flowers and birds patterns to match the natural ecological scenery of Swan Lake Park
Elegant swan silhouettes to echo the lake’s name and deliver the vision of harmonious coexistence between human and nature
City landmark patterns themed on Hefei’s positioning “Famous Lake City, Highland of Innovation” to display urban construction achievements
Basic Landscape & Functional Lighting
Soft uniform main lighting provides safe pedestrian illumination. Decorative blue lamp rings eliminate monotonous lamp body design. When night falls, rows of smart lamps form winding light belts reflecting on the lake surface, creating layered and gorgeous night views.
On-site Operation & Media Recognition
The gorgeous nightscape of Swan Lake covered CCTV News Network, with shimmering light ribbons forming a stunning star-like view over the lake. Aerial photography shows magnificent panoramic lighting, while close-range viewing delivers immersive cultural light projection experience.
Instead of single lighting equipment, Sanxing Smart Outdoor Lighting combines functional illumination, landscape beautification, public service and cultural display. Humanized multi-scene design brings convenience to citizens and highlights unique urban cultural temperament of Hefei.
Project Value & Industry Reference Significance
Upgrade Smart City Infrastructure
This case offers a replicable all-in-one smart lighting solution for civic parks, government districts and large open scenic spots, replacing traditional single-function landscape lamps with multi-functional Smart Outdoor Lighting.
Boost Night Tourism & Urban Night Economy
Rich cultural projection and layered night lighting extend residents’ leisure time in the park, drive surrounding catering, retail and sightseeing consumption, and lift comprehensive commercial value of urban scenic areas.
Realize Integrated Management of Public Space
Unified monitoring, WiFi and lighting control reduce manual patrol cost, improve park operation efficiency and public safety management level.
Cultural Customized Lighting Reference Model
The localized cultural projection design mode can be promoted to city squares, characteristic towns, riverside scenic belts and cultural pedestrian streets, helping cities create exclusive cultural nightscape IP.
Hefei Swan Lake Landscape Lighting Project is a landmark smart city lighting masterpiece completed by Jinan Sanxing Lighting. The modular multi-functional Smart Outdoor Lighting perfectly balances practical lighting, intelligent public service and urban cultural display.
For municipal engineering contractors, urban lighting planners, park operation management companies and landscape design institutes, this project serves as a mature reference case for building high-value intelligent scenic nightscape with integrated smart courtyard lamps.
