The Coimbra Municipal Road Lighting Upgrade was developed to improve the performance and operating efficiency of an existing urban road lighting system while maintaining reliable illumination for daily municipal traffic.
For this project, LIKELITE supplied 1,500 sets of 80W LED Street Lights together with intelligent lighting control functions and project-oriented lighting engineering support.
The project combined LED roadway lighting with Microwave Motion Sensor, Light Control and Timer Control technologies to improve lighting operation according to road conditions, movement and scheduled operating requirements.

Existing Road Lighting Upgrade
Municipal road lighting projects require more than replacing conventional luminaires with LED products.
The Coimbra project required a practical combination of:
Appropriate LED power selection
Roadway lighting distribution
Protection against outdoor environmental conditions
Surge protection
Intelligent lighting control
Lighting simulation and layout
Site measurement
Installation coordination
Long-term operating reliability
The project was therefore approached as a complete lighting engineering application rather than a standalone product supply.
The 80W LED Street Light was selected for the municipal roadway application, providing a 140 lm/W lamp luminous efficiency and IP66 protection for outdoor installation.
Project Product Specification
The project used LIKELITE 80W LED Street Lights equipped with Lumileds SMD2835 LED technology.
The luminaire uses an aluminum alloy housing with PC optical components and is designed for outdoor roadway applications.
Main technical configuration:
Input Voltage: AC 220–240V ±10%
Frequency: 50Hz
Power: 80W
LED Source: Lumileds SMD2835
Lamp Luminous Efficiency: 140 lm/W
Beam Angle: 120°
CCT: 5000K ±300K
CRI: Ra 80
IP Rating: IP66
Surge Protection: 10KV
Voltage Resistance: 1.5KV
Material: Aluminum Alloy + PC
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +45°C
Rated Lifespan: 30,000 hours
Power Supply: AC
The configuration was selected to balance roadway illumination requirements, energy efficiency, environmental protection and project cost.
Intelligent Municipal Lighting Control
A key part of the Coimbra project was the integration of three lighting control functions:
Microwave Motion Sensor
The motion sensor can detect movement conditions and support adaptive lighting operation where required by the project control strategy.
Light Control
Light-control functionality allows the lighting system to respond to ambient lighting conditions and helps avoid unnecessary operation during adequate daylight conditions.
Timer Control
Timer control provides scheduled operating management for municipal road lighting and can be coordinated with the project's required operating periods.
The three control functions can be used individually or as part of an integrated operating strategy, depending on the actual municipal lighting control requirements.
Lighting Engineering Support
LIKELITE's involvement in the Coimbra project was not limited to luminaire supply.
Project engineering support included:
Lighting and circuitry design
Onsite metering
DIALux Evo layout
LitePro DLX layout
AutoCAD layout
AGi32 layout
Project installation support
These engineering services allow project teams to evaluate the lighting design before installation and coordinate the lighting system with the actual roadway environment.
DIALux and Lighting Layout
Lighting simulation is an important part of municipal roadway lighting projects because product selection alone does not determine the final lighting performance.
For project design, LIKELITE can provide lighting layouts based on available roadway dimensions, pole positions, mounting heights, spacing and lighting requirements.
DIALux Evo, LitePro DLX, AutoCAD and AGi32 can be used according to project requirements.
Typical project design parameters include:
Road width
Number of lanes
Pole height
Pole spacing
Luminaire mounting position
Road surface characteristics
Lighting class
Required illuminance
Uniformity
Light distribution
The final layout should be verified against the actual site conditions and project specifications before installation.
1,500-Set Municipal Deployment
The Coimbra project involved 1,500 sets of 80W LED Street Lights.
At this project scale, consistency between individual luminaires becomes important for procurement, installation and future maintenance.
The project supply therefore considered:
Consistent product configuration
Batch production control
Electrical protection
Outdoor IP protection
Control-system compatibility
Packaging and transportation
Installation requirements
Warranty support
The individual product package size was approximately 50 × 17 × 7 cm, with a gross weight of approximately 7.55 kg per unit.
Energy Efficiency Result
The project achieved an estimated 20% improvement in energy efficiency based on the project requirements and operating strategy.
The energy-saving performance was supported by the combination of:
High-efficiency LED lighting
Appropriate 80W power selection
Intelligent lighting controls
Scheduled operation
Reduced unnecessary lighting operation
Actual energy savings in municipal projects depend on the previous lighting system, operating hours, control settings, road conditions and local electricity consumption patterns.
Outdoor Protection and Reliability
Municipal road luminaires operate continuously in outdoor environments and must withstand rain, dust, temperature changes and electrical disturbances.
The Coimbra project configuration included:
IP66 protection
10KV surge protection
1.5KV voltage resistance
Aluminum alloy lamp body
Operating temperature of -20°C to +45°C
30,000-hour rated lifespan
These specifications provide a practical protection configuration for municipal outdoor roadway applications.
Installation and Project Coordination
For municipal lighting projects, installation is an important stage between product delivery and final system operation.
LIKELITE can support project teams with:
Installation drawings
Lighting layouts
Circuitry design
Product installation guidance
Site measurement
Lighting simulation
Project coordination
The objective is to reduce installation uncertainty and ensure that the supplied luminaires are installed according to the approved project design.

Why This Project Matters
The Coimbra project demonstrates LIKELITE's capability to participate in municipal road lighting upgrades where the requirement extends beyond supplying LED luminaires.
The project combines:
Product Supply + Lighting Engineering + Simulation + Intelligent Control + Installation Support
This project model is suitable for municipal road upgrades, urban roadway renovation, infrastructure renewal and other public outdoor lighting projects requiring coordinated product and engineering support.
Municipal Project Application
The same project approach can be adapted for:
Municipal road lighting
Urban street lighting
Residential road lighting
Highway approach roads
Public infrastructure lighting
City road renovation
Existing lighting replacement
Energy-saving lighting upgrades
Smart municipal lighting projects
Final product configuration, lighting distribution and control strategy should be determined according to the project drawings, applicable standards and actual site conditions.
Project Partner Profile
