Project Scope

The Abu Dhabi project focused on upgrading urban road lighting with LED street lights and intelligent lighting control.

The project scope included:

  • Supply of 2,000 sets of 80W LED Street Lights

  • Urban roadway lighting application

  • Microwave motion sensing

  • Light control

  • Timer control

  • Lighting and circuitry design

  • Onsite metering

  • DIALux Evo lighting layout

  • LitePro DLX lighting layout

  • AutoCAD layout

  • AGi32 layout

  • Project installation

  • Compliance documentation

  • Two-year warranty support

The project therefore combined LED roadway lighting equipment, smart control functions and engineering services rather than treating the lighting fixtures as an isolated product purchase.

Smart Lighting Control System

The defining feature of this project is the combination of LED roadway lighting with intelligent control functions.

The specified smart control system includes:

Microwave Motion Sensor

Motion detection can be used to respond to changes in road activity and traffic conditions, subject to the final control configuration and project requirements.

Light Control

Light-control functionality can coordinate lighting operation with ambient light conditions, supporting automatic operation according to the project's lighting schedule.

Timer Control

Timer control provides scheduled lighting operation and can be coordinated with project operating requirements.

The three functions can be incorporated into the overall roadway lighting control strategy according to the actual project configuration.

The purpose of the control system is to provide greater operational control than a fixed-output lighting installation.

Smart Road Lighting Project Application

Urban road lighting requires consistent operation across different periods of the day and different traffic conditions.

For the Abu Dhabi project, the combination of:

80W LED Street Lights + Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

creates the core smart-lighting configuration.

The lighting system can be configured according to:

  • Road operating schedules

  • Traffic activity

  • Ambient light conditions

  • Lighting zones

  • Required lighting levels

  • Energy-management objectives

  • Existing electrical infrastructure

  • Control-system requirements

Actual control logic should be confirmed according to the approved project design and site conditions.

Lighting and Circuitry Design

LIKELITE provided lighting and circuitry design support for the project.

The engineering process can cover:

  • Luminaire positioning

  • Lighting layout

  • Circuit arrangement

  • Control-system coordination

  • Electrical requirements

  • Installation planning

  • Lighting calculation

This approach allows the lighting equipment and smart-control system to be considered as one project installation rather than separate procurement items.

Onsite Metering and Project Data

Onsite metering forms part of the listed project service scope.

Site measurements can provide information required for lighting design and project coordination, including:

  • Existing lighting conditions

  • Road layout

  • Existing pole positions

  • Mounting conditions

  • Electrical conditions

  • Lighting requirements

  • Existing roadway environment

The collected information can then be used for project-specific lighting calculations and layout development.

Professional Lighting Design

LIKELITE's project service scope includes multiple lighting design platforms:

DIALux Evo Layout

Used for roadway lighting layout and project-specific lighting calculations.

LitePro DLX Layout

Used for lighting design and layout development according to project requirements.

AutoCAD Layout

Used for engineering drawing coordination, luminaire positioning and installation planning.

AGi32 Layout

Used where AGi32-based lighting calculations or engineering coordination are required.

The appropriate software and design documentation should be selected according to the requirements of the EPC contractor, engineering company or project owner.

Energy-Saving Performance

The project information indicates an energy-saving improvement of 27%.

The reported result should be evaluated against the project's actual operating conditions and baseline lighting system.

Factors affecting the final energy-saving result include:

  • Existing luminaire power

  • Existing fixture quantity

  • Operating hours

  • Traffic conditions

  • Motion-sensor settings

  • Timer schedules

  • Light-control settings

  • Dimming or output-control strategy

  • Actual electricity consumption

Therefore, the 27% figure represents the reported project result and should not be treated as a universal saving rate for every smart roadway lighting project.

UAE Compliance and Certification

The project certification information includes:

  • ECAS

  • EESL

  • TDRA

These documents form part of the project's compliance and procurement documentation.

For future UAE projects, the applicable certification package should be confirmed against the specific product model, project requirements and current regulatory requirements before final procurement.

Outdoor Protection and Operating Conditions

The LED Street Lights supplied for the project are specified with IP66 protection and an operating temperature range of -20°C to 55°C.

The lamp body uses aluminum alloy construction.

The electrical configuration includes:

  • AC 220–240V input

  • 50Hz frequency

  • 10KV surge protection

  • 1.5KV voltage resistance

These specifications form part of the project's outdoor roadway lighting equipment configuration.

Project Installation

LIKELITE's listed service scope includes project installation.

A typical project execution sequence can include:

1. Project Requirement Review

Review the road application, existing lighting system, smart-control requirements and electrical conditions.

2. Site Measurement

Conduct onsite metering and collect project data.

3. Lighting Design

Develop roadway lighting layouts using DIALux Evo, LitePro DLX, AutoCAD or AGi32 according to the project requirements.

4. Smart Control Coordination
