Ubicquia's UbiCell Lighting Control Cost Analysis shows municipalities of all sizes the tangible financial and environmental benefits of adding smart lighting controls when converting to LED streetlights, with an average payback period of just 2.25 years.
- Small cities (8,451 lights) save over $5M over 15 years vs. LED with photocells alone; large cities (90,000 lights) save over $53M
- UbiCell delivers 20–40% additional cost savings, extends LED lifespan by 3.5 years, and reduces GHG emissions by 23%
