LIKELITE supplied 2,000 sets of 130W LED Solar Roadway Lights for a solar-powered roadway lighting upgrade in Antwerp, Belgium. The project was designed around independent solar power, remote control, adaptive lighting control and long-term outdoor reliability.
The project combined solar roadway lighting, microwave motion sensing, light control and timer control to reduce unnecessary lighting operation while maintaining dependable roadway illumination.
Project Requirements
The Antwerp project required a roadway lighting system suitable for outdoor municipal infrastructure and variable European weather conditions.
The main project requirements included:
Solar-powered roadway lighting
2,000 lighting units
130W LED solar roadway lights
IP66 outdoor protection
Remote control capability
Microwave motion sensing
Light-control operation
Timer-based control
High-efficiency LED light source
Reliable solar charging and energy storage
Long operating life

Solar Roadway Lighting System
The lighting system uses Mono-Si solar technology with a dedicated solar panel and battery storage system.
The 130W solar roadway light integrates:
36V / 130W solar panel
5.6V / 90Ah battery
Solar charging system
CREE SMD3030 LED light source
Remote-control capability
Microwave motion sensor
Light-control function
Timer control
Dimming support
The configuration allows the lighting system to operate independently from conventional grid-powered roadway lighting infrastructure.
Lighting Engineering and Design
For a project involving 2,000 roadway lighting units, product selection is only one part of the engineering process.
LIKELITE's project support included:
Lighting and circuitry design
Onsite metering
DIALux Evo layout
LitePro DLX layout
AutoCAD layout
AGi32 layout
These design tools can be used to evaluate roadway lighting distribution, luminaire positioning, mounting arrangements and expected illumination performance before installation.
For project procurement teams, this provides a clearer engineering basis for reviewing the proposed lighting configuration rather than evaluating the luminaires only by catalogue specifications.
Intelligent Solar Lighting Control
The Antwerp project combines several control functions into the roadway lighting system.
Microwave Motion Sensor
Motion detection can support adaptive operation when road users are detected, helping reduce unnecessary full-power operation during low-traffic periods.
Light Control
The lighting system can respond to ambient lighting conditions, supporting automatic operation according to outdoor light levels.
Timer Control
Time-based operation provides another control layer for defining lighting schedules according to project requirements.
Remote Control
Remote-control capability provides an additional operating interface for project management and lighting adjustment.
Dimming
The system supports dimming, allowing the operating strategy to be adjusted according to traffic patterns, time periods and project requirements.
The combination of these functions supports the project's objective of improving energy efficiency while maintaining practical roadway lighting operation.
22% Energy Efficiency Improvement
The Antwerp project achieved a stated 22% improvement in energy efficiency.
This result is associated with the project's combination of:
Solar power generation
Battery energy storage
High-efficiency LED technology
Motion sensing
Light control
Timer control
Dimming capability
Remote-control operation
For a solar roadway lighting project, energy efficiency should be evaluated together with solar charging capacity, battery storage, operating schedule, traffic conditions and lighting requirements.
Outdoor Reliability
The project uses an IP66-rated aluminum-alloy luminaire housing designed for outdoor roadway applications.
The specified operating temperature range is -25°C to 65°C, providing a broad environmental operating range for outdoor installation.
The lighting system also incorporates glass optical components and surge/protection-related system design according to the supplied project configuration.
The stated LED working life is 50,000 hours, supporting the project's long-term maintenance objectives.
Compliance and Technical Documentation
The Antwerp solar roadway lighting project was configured with the following compliance and technical documentation:
CE
WEEE
RoHS
UN38.3
MSDS
For solar lighting Projects, battery and energy-storage documentation is particularly important because the system includes rechargeable energy-storage components in addition to the lighting fixture itself.
The compliance package can therefore support procurement review, logistics coordination and project documentation requirements.
2,000-Set Project Deployment
The project quantity of 2,000 sets represents a large-scale roadway lighting deployment rather than a small demonstration installation.
At this scale, project coordination becomes important across:
Lighting layout
Pole and mounting arrangement
Solar-panel orientation
Battery configuration
Lighting-control settings
Product delivery
Installation
Commissioning
Operational verification
A standardized product configuration helps maintain consistency across the installation while the engineering design stage establishes the required deployment parameters.
Project Installation and Commissioning
Project installation should verify the physical and electrical configuration of each lighting unit.
Recommended commissioning checks include:
Luminaire installation
Solar-panel positioning
Battery connection
Controller configuration
Motion-sensor testing
Light-control testing
Timer setting
Remote-control testing
Dimming verification
Night-time operation check
Lighting distribution verification
For a large roadway project, installation records and commissioning documentation can become important evidence for future maintenance and project acceptance.

Why This Project Matters for Solar Roadway Lighting Buyers
The Antwerp project demonstrates how a solar roadway lighting project can be structured around more than the purchase of individual solar street lights.
The project combines:
2,000 sets + 130W + 150 lm/W + Mono-Si solar technology + IP66 + remote control + microwave motion sensing + light control + timer control + dimming + 22% energy efficiency improvement.
This creates a clear technical relationship between the product configuration, control strategy, engineering services and project outcome.
For EPC contractors, municipal procurement teams, engineering companies and bulk project buyers, this type of project structure provides a practical reference when evaluating solar roadway lighting suppliers.
Suitable Project Applications
The same project methodology can be considered for:
Municipal roadway lighting
Urban roads
Residential access roads
Secondary roads
Public infrastructure
Rural roadway lighting
Solar highway approaches
Parking access roads
Industrial access roads
Remote roadway lighting
Final system configuration should be determined according to roadway geometry, traffic conditions, required illumination levels, solar resources, battery autonomy and local project standards.
