The Kuwait City Intelligent Road Lighting Upgrade was developed to improve the energy efficiency, operating control and overall performance of an urban roadway lighting system in Kuwait City.
For this project, LIKELITE supplied 5,000 sets of 100W LED Street Lights together with an intelligent lighting control configuration combining Microwave Motion Sensor, Light Control and Timer Control.
The project achieved an estimated 25% improvement in energy efficiency.
The project was approached as an integrated roadway lighting upgrade, covering LED luminaire selection, intelligent control, lighting engineering, site measurement, lighting simulation and installation support.
The Kuwait City project required a coordinated approach to:
Existing roadway lighting conditions
LED power selection
Lighting distribution
Roadway coverage
Intelligent control
Operating schedules
Ambient light conditions
Electrical protection
Site measurement
Lighting simulation
Installation coordination
The project used 100W LED Street Lights as the primary roadway lighting equipment.
With a specified lamp luminous efficiency of 150 lm/W, the configuration was designed to provide efficient roadway illumination while supporting intelligent operating control.
Project Product Configuration
The project used LIKELITE 100W LED Street Lights equipped with Lumileds SMD2835 LED technology.
The luminaire uses an aluminum alloy lamp body and is configured for outdoor roadway applications.
Main technical parameters:
Input Voltage: AC 220–240V
Frequency: 50Hz
Rated Power: 100W
LED Source: Lumileds SMD2835
Lamp Luminous Efficiency: 150 lm/W
CCT: 5000K ±300K
CRI: Ra 80
IP Rating: IP66
Surge Protection: 10KV
Voltage Resistance: 1.5KV
Lamp Body Material: Aluminum Alloy
Power Supply: AC
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +55°C
Rated Lifespan: 30,000 hours
The configuration was selected for urban roadway conditions where high ambient temperatures, outdoor exposure and long operating hours need to be considered.
Intelligent Control Configuration
The defining feature of this project is the combination of three lighting control functions:
Microwave Motion Sensor
Microwave motion sensing can detect movement conditions and support adaptive lighting operation according to roadway activity.
This allows the lighting system to respond to actual movement conditions rather than relying only on fixed operating levels.
Light Control
Light control allows the system to respond to ambient light conditions.
This can help prevent unnecessary operation when sufficient natural light is available.
Timer Control
Timer control provides scheduled operation according to defined roadway lighting periods.
It can be used to coordinate lighting operation with local schedules and project requirements.
The three control functions can operate as part of an integrated control strategy, with final settings determined according to the actual project requirements.
Smart Road Lighting Engineering
The Kuwait City project included engineering support in addition to LED Street Light supply.
LIKELITE can provide:
Lighting and circuitry design
Onsite metering
DIALux Evo layout
LitePro DLX layout
AutoCAD layout
AGi32 layout
Project installation support
For intelligent roadway lighting projects, the engineering process needs to connect the physical road environment with the lighting and control configuration.
Typical project inputs include:
Road width
Number of lanes
Pole height
Pole spacing
Luminaire mounting position
Road geometry
Lighting requirements
Control zones
Operating schedules
Existing electrical infrastructure
DIALux Evo Roadway Design
DIALux Evo can be used to evaluate the proposed roadway lighting arrangement before installation.
The lighting model can consider road geometry, mounting height, pole spacing, luminaire position and light distribution.
Depending on the project requirements, LIKELITE can also provide LitePro DLX, AutoCAD and AGi32 layouts.
The calculation process can be used to assess:
Lighting coverage
Illuminance
Uniformity
Luminaire spacing
Mounting configuration
Roadway lighting distribution
The final lighting layout should be verified against actual site measurements and the applicable project requirements.
5,000-Set Project Deployment
The Kuwait City project involved 5,000 sets of 100W LED Street Lights.
At this scale, consistency of product configuration, installation and control settings becomes an important part of project execution.
The project supply process therefore considers:
Consistent LED luminaire configuration
Batch production
Electrical protection
IP66 outdoor protection
Intelligent control compatibility
Installation requirements
Transportation
Warranty support
A project of this scale also requires clear coordination between product supply, lighting design and installation.
Energy Efficiency Improvement
The project achieved an estimated 25% improvement in energy efficiency.
The improvement was supported by the combination of:
High-efficiency LED lighting
100W power configuration
150 lm/W lamp luminous efficiency
Microwave motion sensing
Ambient light control
Timer-based operation
Reduced unnecessary lighting operation
The actual energy-saving result can vary according to the previous lighting system, operating hours, control parameters, roadway conditions and electricity consumption.
Where historical electricity data is available, pre-upgrade and post-upgrade consumption can be compared to verify the project result.
Kuwait Outdoor Environmental Conditions
Kuwait's outdoor roadway environment requires consideration of high ambient temperatures and long-term outdoor exposure.
The project configuration provides:
IP66 protection
10KV surge protection
1.5KV voltage resistance
Aluminum alloy lamp body
-20°C to +55°C operating temperature
30,000-hour rated lifespan
The temperature range and outdoor protection configuration were selected for the project's environmental requirements.
Installation and Project Coordination
Large-scale smart roadway lighting projects require coordination between lighting design, electrical infrastructure, control functions and installation.
LIKELITE can support project teams with:
Lighting layouts
Circuitry design
Site measurement
Product installation guidance
Control-system configuration information
Luminaire positioning
Lighting simulation
Project installation support
The objective is to maintain consistency between the approved lighting design and the actual installed system.
KUCAS / EER Project Compliance

For international roadway lighting projects, local compliance requirements should be identified before production.
LIKELITE can coordinate product technical documentation and certification information according to the customer's project requirements.
The applicable compliance documents should be confirmed according to the specific project, product configuration and current local regulations.
