Street Light in Saudi Arabia: The Complete Buyer’s Guide for Municipalities and Contractors

Whether you are a municipality procurement officer in Riyadh, a road contractor in Dammam, or a developer in Jeddah or Al-Qassim, choosing the right street light is one of the most critical decisions you will make for your project’s long-term performance and cost.

What Is a Street Light?

A street light — also called a road light or street luminaire — is a weatherproof LED fixture mounted on a pole to illuminate public roads, highways, parking areas, and pedestrian paths. Modern LED street lights replace older high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide technologies with far greater energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and better light quality.

Key Specifications for Street Lights in Saudi Arabia

Lumen output by road class:

Highways and arterial roads require 20,000–35,000 lumens per luminaire. Collector roads need 12,000–20,000 lumens. Residential streets require 5,000–10,000 lumens. Pedestrian paths need 2,000–5,000 lumens.

IP Rating: Minimum IP65 for all Saudi outdoor applications. IP66 recommended for coastal cities like Jeddah and Dammam where salt air accelerates corrosion.

Colour temperature: 4,000K neutral white is the most widely specified CCT for Saudi street lighting — it provides excellent visibility without excessive glare.

Efficacy: Minimum 100 lumens per watt for SASO compliance. Premium products achieve 130–150 lm/W.

Lifespan: L70 rated lifespan of 50,000 hours minimum — equivalent to over 13 years at 10 hours per night.

SASO Certification — Non-Negotiable

All street lights sold or installed in Saudi Arabia must carry SASO certification. This covers electrical safety, photometric performance, and energy efficiency. Al Adwaa’s street lights are fully SASO certified and come with complete documentation for municipal tender submissions.

Smart Street Light Options

Al Adwaa supplies street lights with optional integrated smart controls — allowing municipalities to dim lights remotely between midnight and dawn, monitor faults in real time, and reduce energy consumption by an additional 20–30% beyond the base LED saving.
