Project Objective
Upgrade Urban Road Lighting Performance While Reducing Energy Consumption
The Frankfurt project was developed around three practical requirements:
01 — Reduce Lighting Energy Consumption
The existing road lighting system required an upgrade toward more efficient LED technology.
02 — Improve Lighting Management
The project incorporated intelligent control functions to allow lighting operation to respond to movement, ambient light and scheduled operating periods.
03 — Standardize a Large-Scale Road Lighting Upgrade
With 9,000 sets involved, product consistency, electrical compatibility, installation efficiency and project coordination were important parts of the implementation.
The project therefore combined LED luminaire replacement with smart control and professional lighting engineering.
Project Scope
Large-Scale Urban Road Lighting Replacement
LIKELITE supplied 9,000 sets of 120W LED Street Lights for the Frankfurt urban road lighting application.
The project scope included:
LED Street Light supply
Lighting and circuitry design
Onsite metering
DIALux Evo layout
Litepro Dlx layout
AutoCAD layout
AGi32 layout
Smart control configuration
Project installation
Installation and commissioning support
The engineering scope was structured around the actual road environment rather than relying only on a standard luminaire replacement.
Existing Road Lighting
Before the Upgrade
The project involved upgrading an existing urban road lighting system.
For a large-scale road lighting retrofit, the main engineering considerations include:
Existing pole positions
Pole spacing
Mounting height
Road width
Road geometry
Existing electrical infrastructure
Existing illumination conditions
Operating schedule
Traffic and pedestrian activity
These parameters provide the basis for determining the appropriate luminaire configuration and lighting layout.
After the Upgrade
120W LED Street Lights with Smart Control
The upgraded system uses LIKELITE 120W LED Street Lights equipped with:
Lumileds SMD3030 LED
130 lm/W stated luminous efficacy
5000K ± 500K CCT
CRI ≥80
IP66 protection
10KV surge protection
The lighting system was combined with:
Microwave Motion Sensor
Supports lighting response based on detected movement.
Light Control
Supports lighting operation according to ambient light conditions.
Timer Control
Supports scheduled lighting operation.
The combination provides a more flexible operating structure than fixed-output conventional road lighting.
Smart Control Configuration
Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control
The Frankfurt project incorporated three control functions.
Motion-Based Control
The microwave motion sensor can detect movement within the relevant lighting area and support responsive lighting operation.
Ambient Light Control
Light control can be used to prevent unnecessary operation when ambient conditions provide sufficient natural light.
Scheduled Control
Timer control allows operating periods to be configured according to the required lighting schedule.
