Municipal Lighting Projects/Sheffield Municipal Road Lighting Upgrade

4,800 × 120W LED Street Lights for Municipal Road Lighting Modernization in Sheffield, UK

LIKELITE supplied a large-scale LED street lighting solution for a municipal road lighting upgrade project in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

The project involved the replacement and modernization of municipal roadway lighting using 120W LED Street Lights, with UKCA-certified product configuration and integrated smart lighting controls.

The project scope covered product supply together with lighting and circuitry design, onsite metering, photometric layout support and project installation support.

Project at a Glance

Project Background

Municipal road lighting modernization requires a lighting system that can operate reliably across daily urban road conditions while reducing the operating burden of the existing lighting infrastructure.

For the Sheffield project, the lighting upgrade focused on replacing the existing roadway lighting configuration with LED street lighting and introducing multiple control functions.

The project required a combination of:

• LED roadway luminaires

• Municipal road lighting design

• Onsite metering

• Lighting and circuitry design

• Photometric layout

• Smart lighting control

• Bulk production

• Project installation support

The selected configuration was a 120W LED Street Light with IP66 protection, Lumileds SMD3030 LEDs and 130 lm/W rated luminous efficiency.

Project Scope

LIKELITE's scope for the Sheffield municipal lighting application included the following technical and supply activities:

Lighting and Circuitry Design

Project lighting requirements were reviewed for the municipal roadway application.

Onsite Metering

Site data collection was included as part of the lighting assessment process.

Photometric Layout

LIKELITE can support the project with:

• DIALux Evo Layout

• Litepro Dlx Layout

• AutoCAD Layout

• AGI32 Layout

LED Street Light Supply

A total of 4,800 units of 120W LED Street Lights were specified for the project.

Smart Lighting Control

The lighting system incorporated:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

Project Installation

Installation support was included in the project service scope.

Project Product Configuration

120W LED Street Light

The Sheffield project used a 120W LED Street Light configuration designed for municipal outdoor roadway applications.

Main Technical Specifications

Smart Lighting Control System

The Sheffield project incorporated three control functions:

Microwave Motion Sensor

Microwave sensing provides motion detection for adaptive lighting control.

The function can allow the lighting system to respond to changes in roadway activity according to the project control strategy.

Light Control

Light control provides automatic operation based on ambient lighting conditions.

This helps prevent unnecessary daytime operation and supports automatic lighting management.

Timer Control

Timer control provides scheduled lighting operation according to the configured municipal operating schedule.

Combined Control

The three functions were combined as:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

The control strategy provides a more flexible operating method than conventional fixed ON/OFF street lighting.

Project Implementation

Step 1 — Project Assessment

The municipal roadway lighting requirements were reviewed before product configuration.

Project conditions considered included roadway characteristics, existing lighting conditions, electrical requirements and operating requirements.

Step 2 — Site Data Collection

Onsite metering was included to provide project data for lighting design and product configuration.

Step 3 — Lighting Design

The project could be supported with professional roadway lighting layouts using:

• DIALux Evo

• Litepro Dlx

• AutoCAD

• AGI32

The purpose was to confirm the suitability of the proposed luminaire configuration before large-scale deployment.

Step 4 — Product Configuration

The 120W LED street light configuration was selected with:

• Lumileds SMD3030 LED

• IP66 protection

• 10KV surge protection

• 130 lm/W rated luminous efficiency

• Aluminum alloy housing

• Smart control functions

Step 5 — Bulk Production

The required quantity was 4,800 sets.

Production was carried out by LIKELITE in Guangdong, China.

Step 6 — Quality Inspection

Products were inspected according to the applicable project and production requirements before shipment.

Step 7 — Project Installation

Installation support was included as part of the project service scope.

Project Results

4,800 LED Street Lights

The Sheffield municipal lighting upgrade involved the supply of:

4,800 × 120W LED Street Lights

The scale of the order required consistent product configuration and batch production control.

22% Energy-Saving Improvement

The project recorded an energy-saving improvement of 22%.

The energy-saving result was supported by the combination of LED lighting technology and the project's smart lighting control strategy.

For municipal lighting operators, reducing operating energy consumption can directly reduce the long-term operating cost of roadway lighting infrastructure.

Smart Lighting Management

The integration of:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

provided multiple lighting-control functions within the municipal roadway lighting system.

UKCA-Certified Configuration

The supplied configuration was specified with UKCA certification for the UK market.

The product configuration also included:

• IP66 environmental protection

• 10KV surge protection

• 1.5KV voltage resistance

• 30,000-hour rated lifetime
