Bina Parkland (Princess Wallington Reserve)
Project Outline
Princess Wallington Reserve features a variety of sporting a recreational facilities, including sail-shaded playground, picnic shelters and BBQ’s, natural areas and an enclosed dog park. It is also home to Bina Parkland, that offers a skate plaza facility, a junior and advanced BMX track, multi-courts, parkour area, regional playground, unique public art, formalised car parking, barbecue areas, public toilets and drink fountains. With such a unique mix of facilities, it really requires a unique lighting solution. One that is manageable, for the life of the environment and the maintenance of the light fittings.
The Solution and Technology:
Telensa System (smart street lighting)
Cities and utilities across the world are investing heavily to install cleaner, more reliable LED street lighting. Adding wireless controls completes the potential of LED – increasing energy savings by up to 30% and cutting maintenance costs with automatic fault alerts and self-diagnosis. Controls also provide accurate energy metering and service level statistics for auditing LED investment performance. Most of all, controls enable lighting to adapt to the needs of the city, both in real-time and over the long term.
Bina Parkland runs on a Network as a Service system (NAAS). Put simply, Telensa maintains ownership of the ‘system and the system infrastructure and the client will pay an annual service fee per fitting. This is to help reduce the costs for LGA’s, particularly those that plan on rolling out smaller smart lighting systems

iGuzzini Quid – Outdoor luminaire with direct light street optic, designed to use LED lamps, perfectly suited for the carpark application.
iGuzzini Twilight – Outdoor luminaire with symmetrical optic used for the pathway lighting. A functional lumen output for the application while satisfying a decorative aesthetic.
