Municipal road lighting is not bought like consumer lighting. It is evaluated against a written specification, scored by a committee, and audited after installation. Below is the checklist we see most often in tender documents and how the LEADRAY LC3-80W all-in-two solar street light answers each line.

Output on paper that matches output on the road

Committees ask for a maintained lumen figure, not a chip count. The LC3-80W delivers 9,000 lm typical luminous flux from 150 LED chips, driven at 80W with a 140W PV module. Both numbers appear on the datasheet, so the lighting calculation in your tender submission is built on declared values rather than optimistic ones.

Correct light distribution, not just high lumens

A wide, bright lantern on a narrow carriageway wastes light into gardens and windows, which is exactly what residents complain about. This model uses T3 light distribution: a road-oriented beam pattern that puts the luminous intensity where the carriageway is and keeps spill light low. For municipal approvals, that is usually the deciding technical point.

Predictable behaviour across the night

Tender documents increasingly specify dimming profiles. The LC3-80W offers PIR motion sensing combined with time control, so the fixture can run at reduced output in low-traffic hours and return to full brightness on detection. Average energy demand drops without the road ever going dark.

 Numbers the installer can work with

Panel and lamp dimensions are published because wind-load and pole calculations need them before the order is placed. A supplier who cannot provide these figures at quotation stage usually cannot provide them at inspection stage either.

A supplier who has already passed this process

The all-in-two format separates panel and lamp, which lets the panel be positioned for maximum sun exposure while the luminaire is aimed at the road — the compromise that all-in-one designs have to make. Getting that split right across different latitudes is experience, not catalogue data.

Our street light programmes have shipped into government road tenders in Africa, the Middle East, South America and Southeast Asia. Documentation is prepared for tender use rather than assembled afterwards: datasheets, installation manuals, test references under No. LCS2111080754R and warranty terms can travel with the quotation, which typically removes weeks from the buyer's approval chain.

Capacity behind the delivery date

A tender award is a schedule commitment. A 68,000 m² plant with 1,200 units of monthly street light capacity means a multi-container award can be planned in phases and confirmed in writing, with sample units built on the same line that will run the bulk order. Remote technical guidance is available during installation, and OEM/ODM branding is supported for distributors bidding under their own name.

Send us the tender specification or the road layout we will respond with a configuration, a compliance note and a delivery schedule you can put in the submission.
