PART 1: SOLAR LED LIGHTING FOR GENERALIZED ROAD LIGHTING

APPLICATION BASED ON ME3b LIGHTING CLASS

SECTION 1: GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

1.1 Scope of Work

These Specifications state the requirements for the supply, delivery, installation, testing,
commissioning, handing over in an approved functional order, and post completion
contractual obligations of all luminaires, solar panels, batteries, controllers, posts and all
ancillary equipment for the complete solar road lighting system, all in accordance with the
Conditions of Contract, Bill of Quantities, Drawings and others as may be further specified
elsewhere in the Tender documents, if any.

The abbreviated description, “Solar Road Lighting‟, is used interchangeably with “Solar LED
Lighting”.

1.2 Generalized Application Based On ME3b Road Lighting Class

Specifications hereunder are intended for particular applications of Solar LED Lighting based
on ME3b Road Lighting Class for roads with the profile specified hereunder in “Road Profile
& Lighting Arrangement”, and where design speed is max 80km/h.

These guidelines and specifications are also particularly relevant for Solar Road Lighting
applications where conformance to a particular Lighting Class is not the main objective, but
where the road lighting is installed primarily to provide at least some general illumination that
should enhance user safety and security.

Examples of such installations are (but not limited to) the following:

a. Kampung pathways & roads,

b. Junctions at rural roads,
c. Jetties, wharfs, pontoons,
d. Potential conflict areas, such as road approach to villages, schools, clinics, etc.
e. Accident prone areas
f. Sharp bends and corners.

1.3 General Considerations For Solar LED Road Lighting

Solar LED road lighting is the preferred choice where:

a. Nearby public supply is unavailable;

b. Only few lightings, or clusters of lighting are required, but is costly to pull in public power
supply;
c. Surroundings and roadside conditions (eg. soft road verge) do not lend well to
underground cable installations normally used with conventional road lighting, and/or
where electrical cable theft is prevalent.
d. Urgent installation is required due to immediate need for road lighting to enhance safety of
road users for existing roads, or roads under construction.

1.4 Mandatory For Tender Submission

2.13 Luminaire Wiring, Earthing & Surge Protection

All exposed metal parts and other parts made accessible when the luminaire is
opened for maintenance and liable to become “live” in the event of an insulation
fault shall be permanently and effectively connected to the metal lighting post.

The luminaire shall be completely pre-wired internally, requiring only the connection
of the PV module wiring to the luminaire, and earth continuity conductor connection
to the metal lighting post. The PV module wiring to the luminaire shall be protected
by flexible metal conduit. Cables shall not be exposed.

Surge protection shall be series type, provided by a Type 2 min. 40KA surge
protection device (SPD) installed in each luminaire.

2.14 Lighting Column/Post

Lighting columns shall be tapered octagonal type, made up of hot dip galvanised steel
interchangeable sections.

Each column section shall be mechanically formed and longitudinally welded by continuous
automatic gas shielded electric arc process (M.I.G. Process) or continuous automatic electric
resistance welding, to B.S. 5135:1984. The sections shall be constructed so as to overlap each
other by a minimum of 1.5 times the diameter of the immediate lower section (external across
face dimension) and to be easily assembled on site by using simple tools without employing
welding. The manufacturer shall provide a mark on the finished column sections indicating
the minimum overlapping position of 1.5 times the external across-face dimension.

Specifications:

Base Flange Steel to BS EN 10025 Fe 360A
Base Plate Steel to BS EN 10025 Fe 360A

The base plate for planted type columns, luminaire bracket arm, spigot, PV module bracket
arm shall be manufactured as separate units suitable for mounting or fixing onto the columns.

The columns shall be designed to withstand loads comprising of:

(i) Dynamic wind loads for wind speed speed up to 35m/sec.

SXX-16
 V.1a - 2023

(ii) Static loads due to the weight of the column and accessories, luminaires and
associated controller, the bracket arms, and spigots.
(iii) Other associated loads

Details of lighting posts shall be submitted during Tender.

The Contractor shall be responsible to ensure that proposed lighting posts are able to
withstand static and dynamic loads as mentioned above.

2.15 Lighting Column/Post Installation

Base of each lighting column/post shall be encased in concrete as theft prevention measure.
Concrete footing shall be min. 250mm x 250mm x 450mm. The Contractor shall be
responsible to replace new any lighting luminaire and column/post, at his own expense, where
theft had occurred to posts/columns not installed in compliance to this Clause.
