The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Areti, the Acea-group grid company, runs Rome's public lighting under contract with Roma Capitale — about 206,000 light points, of which roughly 92% had been converted to LED by end-2024 (a switchover planned in 2014 and rolled out from 2015). Beyond the lamp swap, Areti is extending a remote-management system that lets its control centre detect faults and operate lamps directly, and at monument sites individual fixtures are controlled digitally over Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. Sensor pilots on lamp posts (LIFE-DIAMEDE, luce+) test dimming with traffic, luminance and air-quality monitoring.
