The problem
Streetlights burn at full brightness all night, wasting energy when roads are empty.
What to build
Design a controller that dims lights based on presence and ambient light while keeping minimum safety levels.
Success looks like
Energy savings above 30% in a test stretch without any compliance breach on minimum light levels.
