The project used an 80W LED highway luminaire configured for outdoor roadway applications.

Key Specifications

Power: 80W

LED: CREE SMD2835

Luminous Efficiency: 120 lm/W

IP Rating: IP65

Beam Angle: 120°

CCT: 5000K ±400K

CRI: Ra 80

Surge Protection: 10KV

Input: AC 230V

Frequency: 50Hz

Product Output Reference

Based on the supplied product specification:

80W × 120 lm/W = approximately 9,600 lm per luminaire

For 3,000 sets:

3,000 × 9,600 lm = approximately 28.8 million lm nominal total lamp output

These figures are calculated from the stated product luminous efficiency.

They should not be interpreted as measured roadway illumination.

Actual road surface illuminance depends on:

  • Road width

  • Pole height

  • Pole spacing

  • Luminaire mounting angle

  • Optical distribution

  • Road geometry

  • Installation conditions

  • Photometric files


Project Engineering

Existing Highway Lighting Assessment

A highway lighting upgrade starts with the existing infrastructure.

Relevant project information may include:

  • Existing pole positions

  • Pole height

  • Pole spacing

  • Road width

  • Number of lanes

  • Existing luminaire type

  • Existing luminaire power

  • Existing electrical circuits

  • Existing lighting arrangement

Where required, onsite metering can be used to verify existing conditions.


Roadway Lighting Calculation

The project engineering workflow can incorporate professional photometric design.

DIALux Evo

Used for roadway lighting modeling and calculation according to project requirements.

Litepro DLX

Available for roadway lighting layout and photometric calculation.

AGi32

Available for Projects requiring AGi32-based lighting analysis.

AutoCAD

Used for roadway, pole and luminaire layout coordination.

The purpose of the calculation is to confirm the relationship between the selected luminaire and the actual roadway geometry.


Project Installation

Large-scale highway lighting replacement requires coordination between the lighting product and existing infrastructure.

Installation planning may consider:

  • Existing pole condition

  • Mounting compatibility

  • Luminaire orientation

  • Electrical connections

  • Existing cables

  • Surge protection

  • Installation access

  • Replacement sequence

  • Site working conditions

The final installation method depends on the actual project site and contractor requirements.


Energy-Saving Result

20% Reported Energy Saving

The project information provided for the Durban application states:

20% Energy Saving

This figure is presented as the reported result of the supplied project case.

Actual energy savings in Highway Lighting Projects depend on:

  • Existing luminaire power

  • New LED luminaire power

  • Operating hours

  • Lighting control

  • Existing electrical losses

  • Required lighting performance

  • Maintenance condition

Therefore, LIKELITE does not present 20% as a guaranteed saving for every highway lighting project.
