Project Background

Urban roadway lighting systems are required to operate reliably across changing traffic, environmental and operating conditions.

For roadway lighting upgrade projects, replacing existing luminaires with LED technology is only one part of the engineering work.

The project also requires consideration of:

  • Existing roadway conditions

  • Lighting operating schedules

  • Ambient light

  • Traffic and movement patterns

  • Lighting distribution

  • Electrical circuitry

  • Surge protection

  • Installation conditions

  • Long-term maintenance

  • Energy consumption

For the Vancouver project, LIKELITE supplied a 120W LED roadway lighting system combined with intelligent control functions.

The project approach focused on upgrading both the lighting hardware and the lighting control method.


Project Scope

The Vancouver urban roadway upgrade included:

LED Roadway Lighting

2,000 sets of 120W LED Roadway Lights were specified for the roadway lighting upgrade.

The luminaire uses Lumileds SMD3030 LED technology and provides a specified luminous efficiency of 125 lm/W.

Smart Lighting Control

The lighting system integrates:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

The three control functions provide different layers of lighting management.

Engineering Design

The project service scope includes:

  • Lighting and Circuitry Design

  • Onsite Metering

  • DIALux Evo Layout

  • Litepro DLX Layout

  • AutoCAD Layout

  • AGi32 Layout

  • Project Installation

This enables the lighting product and engineering design to be considered as one project package.


Existing Lighting Upgrade Requirements

The objective of the project was not simply to change the lamp type.

The upgrade required a lighting system capable of providing:

Efficient LED Lighting + Intelligent Control + Engineering Design + Project Installation

The project requirements included:

  1. Upgrade the roadway lighting system to LED technology.

  2. Maintain reliable operation under outdoor environmental conditions.

  3. Provide CSA-certified lighting equipment for the Canadian application.

  4. Improve energy efficiency.

  5. Introduce intelligent lighting control.

  6. Provide professional roadway lighting design support.

  7. Provide lighting calculation and layout capability.

  8. Support project installation.

The product is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to +55°C.


Smart Lighting Control Architecture

Microwave Motion Sensor

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

Depending on the configured control logic, lighting output can respond to detected movement rather than remaining at the same operating level throughout the entire operating period.

This is particularly relevant to roadway applications where traffic and activity can vary during different periods of the day.


Light Control

Light control provides automatic response to ambient lighting conditions.

The system can use available natural light as one of the operating conditions for determining whether roadway lighting should be activated.

This helps prevent unnecessary lighting operation during periods when sufficient ambient illumination is available.


Timer Control

Timer control establishes predefined operating schedules.

The project operator can define operating periods according to the roadway's required lighting schedule.

Timer control also provides a predictable operating framework for the lighting system.


Integrated Control

The three functions can operate as a combined control strategy:

Ambient Light → Timer Schedule → Motion Detection → Lighting Response

The actual control parameters should be configured according to the final project design, local requirements and operating conditions.


Engineering Design & Project Implementation

01 — Onsite Metering

On-site lighting measurements can be conducted to understand existing roadway lighting conditions.

Measured information can support the development of the proposed lighting layout and provide a reference for project evaluation.

Why This Project Matters

The Vancouver project demonstrates that a large-scale roadway lighting upgrade can be structured around three connected layers:

Layer 1 — Lighting Hardware

120W LED Roadway Lights

Layer 2 — Intelligent Control

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

Layer 3 — Engineering Delivery

Onsite Metering + DIALux Evo + Litepro DLX + AutoCAD + AGi32 + Project Installation

This creates a complete project delivery structure rather than a simple LED luminaire replacement.
