RSK-80 and RSK-120 all-in-one solar street lights
Project Overview
RoadSmart supplied RSK-80 and RSK-120 all-in-one solar street lights for an urban arterial road lighting project in Central Africa. The case comes from a main city road application where different sections required flexible model matching according to road width, traffic flow, and pole layout.
To avoid exposing sensitive market information, the project is presented at a regional level. The core requirement was to improve nighttime road visibility on urban trunk roads while reducing dependence on trenching, cabling, and complex grid extension work.
| Region | Central Africa |
|---|---|
| Road Type | Urban arterial road / main municipal road |
| Product Mix | RSK-80 for lower-demand sections and RSK-120 for wider or brighter road sections |
| Project Support | Product selection, model matching by road section, layout reference, and installation guidance support. |
Why RSK-80 and RSK-120 Were Selected
For this Central Africa city road project, product selection needed to balance urban lighting quality, practical installation, and flexible deployment across different arterial road sections.
| Project Requirement | RoadSmart Response |
|---|---|
| Different road sections | RSK-80 and RSK-120 were combined so the project could match brightness and spacing more efficiently across multiple urban road segments. |
| Faster installation | The all-in-one solar design helped reduce trenching, cable laying, and coordination with grid extension work. |
| Outdoor reliability | The configuration supports continuous operation in hot, humid, rainy, and dusty outdoor conditions common in urban African environments. |
| Flexible project planning | RoadSmart can adjust recommendations according to road width, pole spacing, lighting hours, backup days, and local sunlight conditions. |
Project Challenge
Mixed Demand Across Main Road Sections
Urban trunk roads do not always require one single wattage across the entire line. Some sections need stronger brightness or wider coverage, while others can be served more efficiently with a lower model.
Limited Willingness for Heavy Civil Work
For municipal road projects, trenching, cabling, and utility coordination can slow delivery and increase implementation cost.
Outdoor Exposure in Urban Environments
The system needed to perform under heat, rain, dust, and long-term roadside exposure while staying practical for local maintenance teams.
Need for Practical Model Matching
The buyer needed a solution that could be adapted to different road sections instead of using one oversized or undersized model everywhere.
Solution
1. Dual-Model Configuration for Arterial Roads
RoadSmart used a mixed configuration of RSK-80 and RSK-120 so that different road sections could receive a better-fit lighting solution without overdesigning the full project.
2. Product Matching Based on Road Conditions
The recommendation considered road width, vehicle flow, expected lighting hours, and installation conditions for main municipal roads.
3. Reduced Dependence on Trenching and Grid Wiring
The all-in-one solar-powered design supported cleaner deployment for road sections where rapid implementation and lower infrastructure complexity were important.
4. Manufacturer Support for Project Execution
RoadSmart can support municipal buyers, contractors, EPC teams, and distributors with model selection, section-by-section matching, layout reference, and installation guidance.

Project Results
- Supported off-grid lighting deployment for urban arterial road sections in Central Africa.
- Improved flexibility by using RSK-80 and RSK-120 in different road sections instead of forcing one single configuration.
- Reduced dependence on trenching and long-distance cable installation.
- Provided a strong reference case for similar municipal main road and city corridor lighting projects in Africa.
Lessons Learned & Best Practices
Divide the Road into Functional Sections
For city trunk roads, one model does not always fit every section. Segmenting the road first helps improve product matching and project efficiency.
Confirm Pole Layout Early
Pole height, pole spacing, and installation side directly affect whether RSK-80 or RSK-120 is the better choice for each section.
Match Solar Configuration to Local Climate
Battery and panel configuration should be aligned with local sunlight and backup-day requirements, especially for municipal roads with high reliability expectations.
Use Site Photos and Drawings for Faster Recommendation
Site photos, road drawings, and lane information help the manufacturer recommend a more accurate and more commercially efficient solution.
What We Need to Recommend an Urban Road Solar Lighting Solution

FAQs
Can RSK-80 and RSK-120 be used in the same municipal road project?
Yes. Mixed model deployment is often practical when different road sections have different brightness, spacing, or coverage needs.
What information is needed before quotation?
PPlease provide project region, road width, lane count, pole height, pole spacing, lighting hours, backup days, and available road photos or drawings.
Can RoadSmart support lighting simulation?
RoadSmart can provide lighting configuration guidance and simulation reference when sufficient road and pole data is available.
Is this case from Brazzaville?
This case is presented publicly at the regional level as a Central Africa urban arterial road project in order to protect market-sensitive information while still showing relevant application experience.
