Municipal street lighting represents one of the largest energy expenditures in any city budget — and one of the most under-maintained public assets. Outages go unreported for days. LED retrofit programs stall without structured work order tracking. Energy savings projections never materialise because nobody is monitoring whether retrofitted fixtures are performing as designed. OxMaint gives municipal lighting teams the platform to schedule inspections, track outages, manage retrofit programmes, and document compliance across every lighting zone in the city. Start free to bring your street lighting programme under control.
Manage Every Street Light in Your Municipality — From One Dashboard
Outage tracking, LED retrofit scheduling, energy monitoring, and compliance documentation — all automated inside OxMaint for public works teams of any size.
The Problem
Why Municipal Lighting Programmes Fail Without a Structured System
Most municipalities operate street lighting reactively — a resident calls to report a dark street, a crew is dispatched, and the outage is resolved with no documentation and no follow-up. There is no record of how long the light was out, what was replaced, or whether that asset has failed three times in two years. LED retrofit programmes are tracked in spreadsheets that are never updated after installation. Energy savings are estimated, not measured. OxMaint replaces all of this with automated scheduling, mobile-first field inspection, and real-time outage management. Book a demo to see the platform in action.
Average energy reduction achieved by municipalities after completing a full LED retrofit programme
Only realised when fixture performance is monitored post-installation
Average time a street light outage goes unresolved in municipalities without an automated reporting system
Drops to under 18 hours with OxMaint outage-to-work-order automation
Typical annual energy savings for a 10,000-fixture LED retrofit in a mid-sized municipality
Only captured fully when monitoring confirms all fixtures are operating correctly
Core Capabilities
What OxMaint Does for Municipal Street Lighting
Outage Detection and Work Order Automation
Resident-reported outages, smart controller alerts, and field inspection findings all flow into OxMaint as work orders. Each outage is tracked from report to resolution with GPS-tagged asset location, priority classification, and crew assignment — no calls, no spreadsheets, no lost tickets.
LED Retrofit Programme Management
OxMaint tracks every fixture in the retrofit pipeline — scheduled, in progress, completed, and verified. Post-installation energy readings are logged per fixture. The programme dashboard shows actual versus projected energy savings in real time, so leadership has accurate data for budget reporting.
Preventive Maintenance Scheduling
Pole inspections, photocell testing, junction box checks, and lamp group replacements are scheduled automatically based on asset age, fixture type, and manufacturer service intervals. Teams receive daily task lists on the OxMaint mobile app — no paper routes, no missed zones.
Energy Usage Monitoring
For municipalities with smart metering or connected lighting controllers, OxMaint ingests energy consumption data per circuit or per fixture. Anomalous consumption — a dimming failure, a control module fault, or a non-retrofitted fixture on a completed circuit — is flagged automatically for inspection.
Asset Register and Lifecycle Tracking
Every pole, fixture, photocell, and control cabinet is catalogued in OxMaint with installation date, specification, service history, and warranty status. Lifecycle analysis identifies assets approaching end-of-life so capital replacement is planned and budgeted — not triggered by failure.
Compliance and Audit Documentation
Inspection records, repair certificates, photocell calibration logs, and contractor completion reports are stored against each asset with timestamps and technician sign-off. Audit-ready documentation is exportable in minutes — no manual compilation, no missing records before a council review.
Track Every Outage. Prove Every Energy Saving. Automate Every Inspection.
OxMaint gives public works teams the operational visibility to run a street lighting programme that performs — and a reporting layer that proves it to elected officials and auditors.
