Campsite amenity lighting control
Coastal campsite: reception area, sanitation blocks and pitch lighting, exposed to salt air and seasonal weather.
Background
Anonymised disclosure
This record is a documentation template for the skeleton site. It demonstrates how a case would be structured; it does not describe a delivered project.
No client has reviewed or approved disclosure of any site, so the location, operator and date are withheld and every figure below is illustrative.
Documentation template — no measured point count. Scale shown is illustrative only.
Constraints
- Salt-laden coastal air and wind-driven rain dictate enclosure and mounting choices before any model is fixed.
- Guest Wi-Fi could not be assumed reliable, so the lighting schedule had to run on the local gateway.
- Wiring to each lighting point was disruptive, which is why wireless links were considered at all.
- Radio coverage across the buildings had to be confirmed by a site survey, not assumed from a data sheet.
How it was deployed
- A single indoor gateway serves the amenity buildings over a private LoRa network.
- Wall switches are grouped by building, and each group follows a schedule held on the gateway.
- Switch status is reported through the gateway; an optional cloud layer would only mirror management data.
What changed
Illustrative only. This figure is not a guarantee and must not be extrapolated to other sites.
Nightly manual inspection rounds of amenity lighting
- Before
- Illustrative baseline: several manual rounds per night.
- After
- Illustrative outcome: rounds reduced to occasional checks.
Illustrative only. This figure is not a guarantee and must not be extrapolated to other sites.
Consistency of scheduled lighting start times
- Before
- Illustrative: start times varied with whoever was on shift.
- After
- Illustrative: start times followed the gateway schedule.
Illustrative only. Actual behaviour depends on the site survey, gateway placement and the installed firmware revision.
Evidence
- Written client consent to publish the project, with the disclosure scope defined.
- A completed site survey with radio coverage measurements.
- Gateway logs showing schedules, switching events and uptime.
- A commissioning report signed off by the installing party.
- None of these documents are attached to this record yet.
What to validate for your site
- The record cannot tell the reader what the site actually measured, because no survey or commissioning data exists.
- It cannot state radio range, coverage or link reliability for any real campsite.
- It cannot be used to estimate energy, cost or labour savings.
- It cannot be cited as a reference installation, because none has been approved for disclosure.
