Roadway & Street Lighting

LED Street & Roadway Lighting

Municipal and private roadway lighting has to survive years of outdoor exposure, temperature swings, and surge events from grid switching — while still meeting the photometric distribution roads are designed around. This collection covers 25W-140W LED street lights built for that environment.

How to Choose the Right Fixture

Street lights use T3 photometric distribution almost universally, throwing light along the road rather than sideways into yards. Lower-wattage fixtures (25-70W) suit residential streets and private roadways within developments; higher-wattage fixtures (80-140W) are typically specified for collector and arterial roads with higher traffic volumes and wider lanes. Colour temperature is switchable between 2200K-4000K, letting you match warmer tones favoured in some residential developments or cooler daylight tones for higher-traffic corridors.

Certifications & Code Compliance

Fixtures carry 10kV surge protection to handle grid switching events common on municipal circuits, and are rated for -40°C to +50°C operation — a requirement for anything installed outdoors through an Alberta winter. Universal 120-347V input covers most municipal and private distribution voltages.

Common Applications

• Residential subdivision and private roadway lighting
• Multi-family development internal roads
• Municipal street light retrofits (HPS/metal halide to LED)
• Industrial park and business complex access roads

FAQ

What's the difference between street lighting and area lighting? Street lights use T3 optics optimized for linear roadway coverage, while area/shoebox lights use T3 or T4 optics designed for open lot coverage. If you're lighting a parking lot rather than a road, our Parking Lot & Area Lighting collection is the better starting point.

Can these replace HPS (high-pressure sodium) street lights? Yes — most municipal LED street light retrofits are direct HPS replacements at a fraction of the running wattage, and these fixtures are commonly specified for exactly that purpose.
