Project Scope

From Existing Roadway Lighting to LED Upgrade

The project was developed as an urban roadway lighting upgrade rather than a simple product replacement.

The engineering scope included:

  • Existing roadway lighting assessment

  • Onsite metering

  • Lighting and circuitry design

  • LED roadway luminaire selection

  • Photometric layout

  • Electrical layout

  • Installation coordination

  • Project installation support

The purpose was to establish an LED lighting system suitable for the project's electrical and roadway conditions while improving energy efficiency and maintaining reliable outdoor operation.


LED Roadway Lighting Configuration

100W LED Roadway Lights

The selected luminaire configuration was based on a 100W LED Roadway Light with a CREE SMD3030 LED source and a nominal luminous efficiency of 110 lm/W.

The 120° beam angle provides broad light distribution for roadway applications. Final optical performance is dependent on roadway geometry, mounting height, pole spacing, installation angle and project-specific photometric calculations.

Electrical Configuration

  • AC 110–120V input

  • 60Hz frequency

  • AC power supply

  • 10KV surge protection

  • 1.5KV voltage resistance

Mechanical Configuration

  • Aluminum alloy lamp body

  • ALU + PC construction

  • IP66 protection

  • 53 × 17 × 8 cm single package size

  • Approximately 8 kg single gross weight

Lighting Configuration

  • CREE SMD3030 LED

  • 110 lm/W luminous efficiency

  • 120° beam angle

  • 5000K ±300K CCT

  • CRI 80


Engineering Design Process

Site Data Before Product Finalization

Roadway lighting performance depends on the relationship between the luminaire and the existing road infrastructure.

For the Calgary project, the engineering process included site-related assessment and lighting design support before finalizing the roadway lighting configuration.

01 — Existing System Assessment

The existing roadway lighting system was reviewed to establish the basis for the LED upgrade.

Relevant information includes:

  • Existing luminaire type

  • Existing wattage

  • Pole height

  • Pole spacing

  • Roadway width

  • Existing electrical conditions

  • Existing lighting performance

02 — Onsite Metering

Onsite metering provides actual project data for evaluating the existing lighting condition and supporting the proposed LED configuration.

03 — Lighting Layout

LIKELITE can develop roadway lighting layouts using:

  • DIALux Evo

  • LitePro Dlx

  • AGi32

  • AutoCAD

These layouts allow the project team to evaluate the proposed luminaire arrangement before installation.

04 — Luminaire Configuration

The 100W LED roadway light was specified according to the project's electrical, environmental and lighting requirements.

05 — Installation

The approved LED roadway lighting configuration was supplied for project installation, with installation-related technical support included within the project service scope.


Photometric Design

Roadway Lighting Calculation Before Installation

For roadway Projects, luminaire wattage alone does not determine the final lighting result.

Photometric calculations can be used to evaluate:

  • Road surface illumination

  • Average illuminance

  • Minimum illuminance

  • Uniformity

  • Luminaire spacing

  • Mounting height

  • Beam distribution

  • Luminaire orientation

LIKELITE supports roadway lighting calculations through DIALux Evo, LitePro Dlx and AGi32 according to project requirements.

For a complete project documentation package, the final website project page should include the actual approved calculation report and project-specific photometric results where available.


Project Installation

2,000 LED Roadway Lights

The project quantity was:

2,000 sets

The installation scope covered the deployment of 100W LED Roadway Lights for the urban roadway lighting upgrade.

The project installation process can include:

Existing Fixture Removal → Mounting Inspection → LED Luminaire Installation → Electrical Connection → Luminaire Adjustment → System Commissioning

Final installation procedures depend on the existing pole, bracket and electrical infrastructure at each project location.


Environmental and Electrical Performance

Designed for Outdoor Roadway Operation

The Calgary project configuration incorporates several protection and reliability features.

IP66 Protection

The IP66 enclosure is designed to provide protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, supporting outdoor roadway applications.

10KV Surge Protection

The specified configuration includes 10KV surge protection for improved resistance to transient electrical surges in outdoor lighting systems.

Aluminum Alloy Housing

The aluminum alloy housing provides mechanical protection and supports thermal management during continuous outdoor operation.

-20°C to +45°C Operating Range

The specified operating temperature range is -20°C to +45°C.

For Projects with operating conditions outside this range, LIKELITE can evaluate the required driver, thermal and material configuration separately.


Energy Saving Performance

Up to 30% Energy Saving Target

One of the main objectives of the Calgary roadway lighting upgrade was to reduce operating energy consumption.

Before & After Comparison


DIALux EVO Lighting Simulation Verification

The project specification indicates an energy-saving target of:

30%

The actual energy-saving percentage of a roadway lighting retrofit depends on:

  • Existing luminaire wattage

  • Existing lighting system efficiency

  • New LED connected load

  • Daily operating hours

  • Lighting control strategy

  • Number of operating hours per year

Therefore, the 30% figure should be presented as the project target / reported project specification unless supported by a measured energy audit or utility data.

This distinction keeps the project page technically credible for engineering and procurement audiences.


Project Value

Why This Calgary Project Matters

The value of this project is not limited to replacing 2,000 lighting fixtures.

The project demonstrates the combination of:

Project-scale LED supply + roadway lighting engineering + electrical compatibility + outdoor protection + photometric design support

For municipalities and EPC contractors, this approach helps connect product procurement with the actual engineering requirements of roadway infrastructure.
