Kuwait Al Jahra Highway Lighting Upgrade Project

4,000 Sets of 100W LED Highway Lights for Highway Lighting Modernization in Kuwait

The Al Jahra Highway lighting upgrade project in Kuwait was developed to modernize existing roadway lighting infrastructure and improve lighting performance along a major highway corridor.

For this project, LIKELITE supplied 4,000 sets of 100W LED Highway Lights together with lighting design and project engineering support. The lighting system was configured for 220–240V AC operation, IP66 protection, 10KV surge protection and 5000K color temperature.

The project specification was designed around the operating conditions of Kuwait's highway environment, with a stated energy-saving improvement of approximately 25% compared with the previous lighting system.

Highway Lighting Upgrade Scope

The project focused on replacing or upgrading highway lighting equipment while maintaining the requirements of an operational roadway environment.

LIKELITE's project scope included:

  • 100W LED Highway Light supply

  • Highway lighting and circuitry design

  • Onsite metering

  • DIALux Evo lighting layout

  • LitePro DLX layout

  • AutoCAD layout

  • AGi32 layout

  • Lighting performance analysis

  • Project installation support

  • Technical coordination for project implementation

The engineering workflow was structured around the actual roadway layout rather than treating the project as a standard product supply order.

LED Highway Light Configuration

The selected 100W LED Highway Light was configured for continuous outdoor operation in a high-temperature environment.

The luminaire uses CREE SMD2835 LED technology with a stated luminous efficiency of 160 lm/W. The 5000K ±300K color temperature provides a neutral-white lighting appearance suitable for roadway applications.

The aluminum-alloy housing provides the primary mechanical structure and heat dissipation, while the ALU+PC construction supports outdoor installation requirements.

Key configuration:

  • Power: 100W

  • Input: 220–240V AC

  • LED: CREE SMD2835

  • Efficiency: 160 lm/W

  • Protection: IP66

  • Surge: 10KV

  • Beam Angle: 120°

  • CCT: 5000K ±300K

  • CRI: Ra ≥80

  • Housing: Aluminum alloy

  • Material: ALU + PC

  • Rated Life: 30,000 hours

  • Frequency: 50Hz

  • Voltage Resistance: 1.5KV

Lighting Design and Engineering Support

For highway Projects, luminaire selection is only one part of the engineering process.

LIKELITE supported the Al Jahra project with multiple lighting-design formats, allowing the project team to review roadway geometry, luminaire positioning and lighting distribution before installation.

The project engineering service included:

Onsite Metering

Existing roadway conditions can be measured before the replacement design is finalized. This helps establish the basis for the lighting layout and equipment configuration.

DIALux Evo Layout

DIALux Evo was used as one of the project design formats for roadway lighting calculations and layout development.

LitePro DLX Layout

The project could also be prepared in LitePro DLX format where required by the engineering workflow.

AutoCAD Layout

CAD drawings support coordination between lighting positions, roadway geometry and installation requirements.

AGi32 Layout

AGi32 was included as another available lighting calculation and layout format for engineering coordination.

The purpose of these tools was not simply to provide software screenshots, but to support the technical review and installation process of the highway lighting project.

Project Performance

The project specification indicates an estimated 25% energy-saving improvement following the lighting upgrade.

The improvement was associated with the transition to a 100W LED highway lighting system and the corresponding lighting design.

For project evaluation, the final energy-saving figure should be verified against the actual pre-upgrade and post-upgrade electricity consumption data.

The project configuration also combined:

  • 160 lm/W stated lamp efficiency

  • 100W rated power

  • IP66 protection

  • 10KV surge protection

  • 5000K ±300K CCT

  • 2-year warranty

  • KUCAS certification

These specifications were selected to meet the project's stated electrical, environmental and procurement requirements.

Installation and Project Implementation

The Al Jahra Highway project involved a large quantity of roadway luminaires, requiring coordinated delivery and installation.

With 4,000 sets supplied, project implementation required attention to:

  1. Luminaire positioning

  2. Existing pole conditions

  3. Electrical connection

  4. Roadway lighting layout

  5. Installation sequence

  6. Commissioning

  7. Lighting performance verification

LIKELITE's project service covered lighting and circuitry design through project installation support.

For a highway upgrade, the installation process should follow the approved project drawings and local site requirements. Final commissioning should verify the installed equipment against the approved specification.

Designed for Kuwait Highway Conditions

Kuwait's outdoor environment places specific demands on highway lighting equipment, particularly temperature, dust, continuous outdoor exposure and electrical protection.

The specified operating temperature for this project was -20°C to +45°C.

The 100W LED Highway Light was also configured with:

  • IP66 ingress protection

  • 10KV surge protection

  • Aluminum-alloy housing

  • 1.5KV voltage resistance

  • 30,000-hour stated lifespan

These characteristics form part of the project's equipment specification and should be considered together with actual site conditions and installation requirements.

Project Procurement and Certification

The project required KUCAS certification.

For international infrastructure projects, certification and documentation are an important part of procurement because the lighting equipment must satisfy the applicable import and compliance requirements in the destination market.

LIKELITE's project supply documentation can be coordinated around the required product specifications, certification documents and project procurement requirements.

Why This Project Matters to International Highway Buyers

The Al Jahra project demonstrates a project-oriented supply model rather than a simple luminaire transaction.

For EPC contractors, highway contractors, engineering companies and infrastructure procurement teams, the relevant consideration is not only the wattage or unit price of a street light.

The project supply must also consider:

  • Roadway geometry

  • Lighting calculations

  • Electrical requirements

  • Environmental conditions

  • Certification

  • Quantity

  • Installation coordination

  • Technical documentation

  • Warranty

  • Long-term project support

LIKELITE combines LED highway lighting equipment with engineering-oriented project services to support this type of international procurement.
