Project Scope

The Johannesburg project covers the main stages of a municipal roadway lighting upgrade:

Existing Lighting Assessment

Review of existing roadway lighting and electrical conditions.

Lighting & Circuitry Design

Development of roadway lighting and electrical layouts.

Lighting Simulation

Lighting calculations and layout support using:

DIALux Evo / Litepro DLX / AGi32

CAD Engineering

AutoCAD layouts for lighting and circuitry coordination.

LED Street Light Supply

Supply of:

6,000 sets of 120W LED Street Lights

Intelligent Lighting Control

Integration of:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

Project Installation

Installation support according to the agreed project scope.


Existing Roadway Assessment

Before a municipal lighting upgrade is implemented, the existing roadway conditions need to be established.

The engineering assessment can include:

Road Width

Pole Height

Pole Spacing

Existing Fixture Wattage

Existing Lighting Layout

Electrical Supply

Operating Hours

Existing Control Method

These parameters provide the basis for developing the replacement lighting configuration.


Lighting Design

The 120W LED Street Light configuration is not selected simply by matching the wattage of the existing fixture.

The engineering design considers:

Road Geometry

  •  

Mounting Height

  •  

Pole Spacing

  •  

Optical Distribution

  •  

Required Lighting Performance

  •  

Operating Conditions

The final fixture arrangement should be confirmed through project-specific lighting calculations.


DIALux Evo Lighting Calculation

DIALux Evo can be used to model the roadway lighting arrangement.

The calculation process can evaluate:

  • Fixture position
  • Pole spacing
  • Mounting height
  • Road width
  • Beam distribution
  • Calculation grid
  • Illuminance
  • Uniformity

Where verified project calculation files are available, the actual results should be displayed on the project page.

Recommended project evidence includes:


LED Street Light Configuration

120W LED Street Lights

The Johannesburg project specifies:

120W LED Street Lights

with:

125 lm/W

specified luminous efficiency.

The LED source is:

Lumileds SMD2835

Optical configuration:

120° Beam Angle

Color temperature:

5000K ± 300K

Color rendering:

Ra 80

This configuration provides the technical basis for the municipal roadway lighting upgrade.


Intelligent Lighting Control

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

The project incorporates three lighting-control functions.

Microwave Motion Sensor

The motion sensor provides movement detection for the configured roadway lighting area.

Light Control

Light-control functionality allows lighting operation to respond to ambient-light conditions.

Timer Control

Timer control allows the lighting schedule to be configured according to project operating requirements.

Combined Control Strategy

The project control architecture combines:

Motion Detection

  •  

Ambient Light Control

  •  

Time-Based Control

This provides a more flexible operating strategy than a simple fixed ON/OFF schedule.

The actual control parameters should be configured according to roadway traffic conditions and the municipal operating schedule.


Electrical & Environmental Protection

The Johannesburg project uses an outdoor LED roadway lighting configuration with:

IP66

Outdoor protection.

10KV Surge Protection

Electrical surge protection.

1.5KV Voltage Resistance

Specified voltage-resistance configuration.

The fixture operates at:

AC230V / 50Hz

Housing material:

Aluminum Alloy

Operating temperature:

-20°C to +45°C


Project Energy Performance

28% Energy Saving

The project specifies an energy-saving result of:

28%

The actual energy performance of a municipal roadway lighting project is affected by:

  • Existing fixture wattage
  • New LED fixture wattage
  • Annual operating hours
  • Existing lighting schedule
  • Intelligent control settings
  • Motion detection parameters
  • Ambient-light control
  • Traffic conditions

Therefore, the 28% figure is presented as the supplied result for this Johannesburg project.

It should not be used as a universal savings guarantee for other municipal lighting projects.

For a new project, LIKELIT should calculate the expected savings using the customer's actual existing lighting and operating data.
