We now have a controller/transformer that allows you to individually control each fixture on the same run of wire with dimming capabilities and even turning them on and off. Even more power savings when you can dim a fixture which could be applied to the high voltage stuff to still have some light at dusk and dawn but not be fully illuminated until it was completely dark

We have a system for the LED streetlights that will adaptively control the lighting system from a remote location. It will dim the lights when necessary and it will tell us when a light isn't functioning. It hasn't been implemented past a small pilot stage, but it's going to save a tonne of money in maintenance and energy consumption once it's installed on a grander scale.
