Project at a Glance

Project Background

Urban road lighting modernization requires the lighting equipment to work within the existing roadway and electrical infrastructure.

For the Milan project, the lighting upgrade was based on a combination of:

• LED street lighting
• Intelligent lighting control
• Lighting design
• Electrical and circuitry design
• Lighting simulation
• Onsite measurement
• Project installation

Instead of treating the LED luminaire as an isolated product, the project approach considered the lighting system as an integrated infrastructure application.

The objective was to improve lighting efficiency while introducing more flexible control over roadway lighting operation.

Project Scope

The Milan project included four main delivery areas.

LED Street Light Supply

LIKELITE supplied:

4,000 × 100W LED Street Lights

The specified LED Street Light uses Lumileds SMD2835 LED technology and provides a rated luminous efficiency of 120 lm/W.

The luminaire is designed for outdoor urban road applications and is specified with IP66 protection and 10KV surge protection.

Smart Lighting Control

The lighting system integrates three control functions:

Microwave Motion Sensor

Light Control

Timer Control

The combination provides the project with multiple operating inputs instead of relying only on fixed lighting schedules.

Lighting Engineering

The project service scope included:

• Lighting & Circuitry Design
• Onsite Metering
• DIALux Evo Layout
• Litepro DLX Layout
• AutoCAD Layout
• AGi32 Layout

These services support the transition from product selection to project-level lighting implementation.

Project Installation

LIKELITE provides project installation support according to the agreed project scope.

Typical installation activities include:

• Luminaire mounting
• Electrical connection
• Smart control integration
• System configuration
• Functional testing
• Commissioning support

Smart Lighting Control System

Microwave Motion Sensor

The microwave motion sensor provides movement detection for the roadway lighting system.

The control system can respond to detected movement according to the project's configured operating logic.

This allows the lighting operation to consider actual roadway activity instead of depending entirely on fixed-output operation.

Final detection parameters should be determined according to:

• Pole height
• Roadway geometry
• Traffic conditions
• Installation environment
• Required control behavior

Light Control

Light Control uses ambient illumination as a control input.

The system can manage lighting operation according to changing natural-light conditions, helping avoid unnecessary operation when sufficient daylight is available.

This function is particularly relevant to urban roadway lighting systems that operate across different daylight periods throughout the year.

Timer Control

Timer Control establishes predefined lighting schedules.

The operating schedule can be configured according to:

• Road usage
• Traffic patterns
• Municipal requirements
• Operating periods
• Local project conditions

Timer control provides predictable operation while allowing the smart lighting system to follow predefined schedules.

Integrated Control Architecture

The Milan project uses three complementary control functions:

Ambient Light → Timer Schedule → Motion Detection → Lighting Response

Each function serves a different purpose.

Light Control

determines whether lighting operation is required according to ambient conditions.

Timer Control

defines when the lighting system should operate.

Motion Sensor

provides movement-related control input.

The final control logic should be configured according to the approved project design and operating requirements.
