Engineering Solutions for Municipal Road Lighting Upgrade, Retrofit and Smart Lighting

Municipal road lighting requires more than replacing conventional lamps with LED fixtures.

A successful municipal lighting upgrade must consider existing poles, road geometry, electrical infrastructure, lighting levels, operating schedules, maintenance requirements, energy consumption and local compliance requirements.

LIKELITE provides integrated municipal LED street lighting solutions for cities, municipalities, EPC contractors, road contractors, lighting engineering companies and public infrastructure procurement projects.

From onsite assessment and lighting design to DIALux simulation, product configuration and project installation support, the lighting system is developed around the actual road and infrastructure conditions.

Municipal Lighting Challenges

Municipal lighting systems often have different requirements from one road to another.

A citywide retrofit may include:

  • Existing high-pressure sodium or conventional fixtures

  • Different pole heights

  • Different road widths

  • Different pole spacing

  • Different mounting arrangements

  • Variable traffic conditions

  • Different operating schedules

  • Aging electrical infrastructure

  • High maintenance costs

  • Increasing energy costs

  • Requirements for intelligent lighting control

A suitable LED replacement therefore needs to be evaluated as a lighting system, rather than only as a lamp wattage replacement.


LIKELITE Municipal Lighting Solution

From Existing Road Data to LED Lighting System

LIKELITE structures municipal lighting projects around five engineering stages:

Assessment

Lighting Design

Product Configuration

Simulation & Verification

Supply & Installation

This approach allows the LED fixture, optical distribution, electrical configuration and control strategy to be considered together.


01. Existing Lighting Assessment

Before selecting the final LED street light, the existing lighting system should be reviewed.

Typical project information includes:

Road Information

  • Road width

  • Lane configuration

  • Median arrangement

  • Intersection conditions

  • Pedestrian areas

  • Roadside environment

Pole Information

  • Pole height

  • Pole spacing

  • Arm length

  • Fixture mounting angle

  • Existing fixture dimensions

Electrical Information

  • Existing input voltage

  • Circuit configuration

  • Operating frequency

  • Existing power consumption

  • Control cabinet configuration

Lighting Information

  • Existing fixture wattage

  • Existing illuminance

  • Lighting uniformity

  • Operating schedule

  • Existing maintenance condition

This information provides the basis for the replacement design.


02. Onsite Metering

For retrofit projects, field data can be used to establish the existing lighting condition.

LIKELITE supports:

Onsite Metering

Typical measurements may include:

  • Existing illuminance

  • Roadway lighting distribution

  • Electrical operating conditions

  • Existing fixture performance

The measured information can then be incorporated into the engineering evaluation.


03. Municipal Road Lighting Design

The LED system should be designed according to the actual roadway configuration.

LIKELITE supports lighting and circuitry design based on:

  • Road dimensions

  • Pole arrangement

  • Mounting height

  • Mounting angle

  • Pole spacing

  • Fixture optical distribution

  • Electrical conditions

  • Lighting requirements

The objective is not simply to select the lowest wattage.

The objective is to achieve the required lighting performance with an appropriate LED system.


04. DIALux Evo Lighting Simulation

LIKELITE provides lighting simulation support using:

DIALux Evo

LitePro DLX

AutoCAD

AGi32

The lighting model can be developed from actual project dimensions and fixture photometric files.

Typical design inputs include:

  • Road width

  • Number of lanes

  • Pole height

  • Pole spacing

  • Overhang

  • Tilt angle

  • Photometric distribution

  • Required lighting criteria

The final simulation should be based on the actual project configuration.


05. 80W LED Street Light Configuration

The Antalya municipal lighting reference uses:

80W LED Street Lights

with:

130 lm/W

Lumileds SMD2835 LED

IP66

10KV Surge Protection

120° Beam Angle

Ra80

5000K ±500K

This configuration is suitable as a reference for municipal roadway retrofit evaluation.

For each new project, the final wattage should be confirmed through the actual lighting calculation rather than copied directly from the reference project.


06. Smart Municipal Lighting Control

The reference configuration includes:

Microwave Motion Sensor

Detects changes in movement around the lighting area and can support adaptive lighting operation.

Light Control

Supports automatic lighting operation according to ambient light conditions.

Timer Control

Allows lighting schedules to be configured according to operating requirements.

The three control functions can be combined according to the project requirements.

For municipal applications, intelligent control can help reduce unnecessary operating hours and improve the flexibility of the lighting system.


07. Outdoor Protection

Municipal street lights operate continuously in outdoor environments.

The reference fixture uses:

IP66

protection.

The fixture configuration includes:

Aluminum Alloy Lamp Body

ALU + PC Construction

and:

10KV Surge Protection

This configuration is intended for outdoor roadway lighting applications.


08. Wide Electrical Compatibility

The reference product is specified for:

AC230V ±10%

with:

50Hz

operating frequency.

For each municipal project, the actual electrical conditions should be confirmed before final product selection.

LIKELITE can evaluate the customer's:

  • Input voltage

  • Frequency

  • Circuit configuration

  • Control system

  • Surge protection requirements

before production.


09. Municipal Energy-Saving Strategy

LED retrofit projects are normally evaluated against the existing lighting system.

The Antalya reference project reported:

22% Energy-Saving Improvement

The actual energy-saving result of a new project depends on:

  • Existing fixture wattage

  • New LED wattage

  • Daily operating hours

  • Annual operating hours

  • Dimming strategy

  • Motion detection

  • Timer settings

  • Existing electrical efficiency

Therefore, the 22% figure is a project reference result, not a universal guarantee.

For a new project, LIKELITE can calculate the estimated energy-saving potential using the customer's actual existing lighting data.


10. Municipal Lighting Compliance

The Antalya reference product configuration includes:

CE

TSE

Certification requirements should always be checked against:

  • Destination country

  • Local regulations

  • Project tender requirements

  • Exact product model

  • Electrical system

  • Procurement specifications

LIKELITE can provide the applicable technical and compliance documentation according to the confirmed product configuration.
