Engineering-designed LED highway lighting solutions for highway renovation, roadway modernization, energy-efficient lighting replacement and large-scale infrastructure projects.
LIKELITE provides LED highway lighting products and engineering support for EPC contractors, highway contractors, engineering companies, infrastructure operators, lighting distributors and bulk project buyers.
A highway lighting upgrade is not simply a luminaire replacement.
The final lighting system needs to consider roadway geometry, pole spacing, mounting height, existing electrical infrastructure, photometric distribution, environmental conditions, installation access and long-term operating requirements.
LIKELITE combines LED Highway Lights, lighting and circuitry design, onsite metering, DIALux Evo, Litepro DLX, AGi32 and AutoCAD layouts to support complete Highway Lighting Projects.

Highway Lighting Engineering Approach
Site Data → Roadway Design → Photometric Calculation → Product Configuration → Installation
LIKELITE approaches Highway Lighting Projects as an engineering system rather than a standalone product sale.
The design process can be adapted to the existing highway infrastructure and project requirements.
01 — Existing Highway Assessment
The first step is to understand the existing roadway lighting conditions.
Project information may include:
Road width
Number of lanes
Pole height
Pole spacing
Existing luminaire wattage
Existing luminaire position
Roadway geometry
Existing electrical system
Existing lighting condition
Installation access
Where field verification is required, onsite metering can be included in the project scope.
02 — Roadway Lighting Design
After the available site information is collected, the roadway is modeled according to project drawings and measured conditions.
The design can consider:
Luminaire mounting position
Pole spacing
Mounting height
Road width
Lighting distribution
Luminaire orientation
Electrical configuration
The objective is to establish a lighting arrangement that matches the actual roadway rather than selecting a luminaire based only on wattage.
03 — DIALux Evo Photometric Design
LIKELITE can prepare DIALux Evo roadway lighting layouts according to project requirements.
The calculation process can be used to evaluate:
Luminaire positioning
Roadway illumination
Light distribution
Lighting uniformity
Mounting configuration
Potential lighting overlap
04 — Litepro DLX and AGi32
For projects requiring alternative lighting calculation platforms, LIKELITE can support:
Litepro DLX
For roadway lighting layout and photometric calculation.
AGi32
For professional lighting analysis and project-specific calculation requirements.
The selected software depends on the project engineering requirements and buyer's preferred calculation platform.
05 — AutoCAD Engineering Layout
AutoCAD layouts can be prepared for project coordination.
Typical drawings may include:
Roadway layout
Pole locations
Luminaire locations
Installation positions
Lighting arrangement
Electrical layout
Project dimensions
This allows the lighting supplier, EPC contractor and installation team to work from the same project information.
06 — LED Highway Light Configuration
The Durban highway lighting solution uses:
80W LED Highway Lights
The specified luminaire provides:
80W power
120 lm/W nominal luminous efficiency
Therefore:
80W × 120 lm/W = approximately 9,600 lm nominal output per luminaire
For 3,000 sets:
3,000 × 9,600 lm = approximately 28.8 million lm nominal total lamp output
These figures represent nominal product output based on the supplied specification.
Actual roadway lighting performance must be verified through photometric calculation and site conditions.
Product Engineering Features
CREE SMD2835 LED
The specified light source is CREE SMD2835 LED, configured for outdoor roadway lighting applications.
120 lm/W
The stated lamp luminous efficiency is 120 lm/W.
IP65
The luminaire is specified with an IP65 protection rating for outdoor applications.
10KV Surge Protection
The product configuration includes 10KV surge protection for the specified highway lighting application.
Aluminum Alloy Housing
The lamp body uses aluminum alloy for outdoor luminaire construction.
5000K ±400K
The specified CCT provides a neutral-to-cool white lighting appearance for roadway applications.
Ra 80
The product is specified with a color rendering index of Ra 80.
Highway Lighting Electrical Configuration
The Durban solution is specified for:
AC 230V
50Hz
AC Power Supply
The electrical design should be reviewed together with the existing highway electrical infrastructure.
LIKELITE's lighting and circuitry design service can consider:
Input voltage
Power supply
Surge protection
Electrical connection
Existing circuits
Luminaire quantity
Installation configuration
The final electrical arrangement should be confirmed against actual site conditions and project drawings.
Outdoor Highway Operating Conditions
Highway luminaires are exposed to changing outdoor conditions and require appropriate mechanical and electrical configuration.
The Durban project specification includes:
IP65 protection
Aluminum alloy housing
10KV surge protection
-20°C to +45°C operating temperature
30,000-hour stated lifespan
These specifications form part of the product configuration and should be evaluated against the actual project environment.
Highway Lighting Installation
A large-scale highway lighting upgrade requires coordination between lighting supply, engineering design and installation.
LIKELITE can provide Project Installation support according to the agreed project scope.
Installation planning may consider:
Existing pole condition
Mounting compatibility
Luminaire orientation
Electrical connection
Cable condition
Surge protection
Installation access
Replacement sequence
Site working conditions
The final installation method depends on the actual highway infrastructure and contractor requirements.
Energy-Efficient Highway Lighting Upgrade
Reported Energy Saving: 20%
The Durban project information specifies:
20% energy-saving improvement
Energy performance should be evaluated against the existing highway lighting system.
Actual energy savings may be influenced by:
Existing luminaire wattage
New LED luminaire power
Operating hours
Lighting controls
Maintenance condition
Existing electrical losses
Required lighting performance
For this reason, the 20% figure is treated as the reported project application result, not as a universal saving guarantee for all Highway Lighting Projects.
Why LED Highway Lighting for Infrastructure Upgrades?
LED highway lighting can provide infrastructure owners with a practical pathway for modernizing existing roadway lighting.
The engineering benefits can include:
Lower Lighting Power
The LED system can reduce installed lighting power compared with higher-power conventional luminaires, depending on the existing system.
Controlled Optical Distribution
The luminaire's optical distribution can be evaluated through roadway photometric calculation.
Outdoor Protection
IP-rated housing and surge protection support outdoor roadway applications.
