Create Working Drawings of Highway Lighting Schemes
KeyLIGHTS is an all-inclusive highway lighting software package for creating working drawings of proposed highway lighting schemes. KeyLIGHTS features a flexible roadway design tool, its own Light Calculation Engine (LCE) that automatically generates illuminance levels, and an integrated Highway Power Calculation (HPC) module to calculate all cable and fuse requirements. KeyLIGHTS’ AutoCAD-based tools allow you to produce schematics and designs for all the civil works needed for streetlight installation, and its full 3D and BIM capabilities make it easy to share data-rich designs with other software.
Lighting software to quickly create highway lighting scheme designs, providing verification of lighting and power requirements.

What Makes KeyLIGHT Unique
Create complete highway lighting schemes
KEYLIGHTS is a full package software that allows you to design your entire lighting and power plan along with related civil works all in one place—meaning you don’t have to do cumbersome data exchange between different platforms to get the job done. Once you’ve completed your plan, you can easily export it for further BIM collaboration and maintenance inventory via a range of formats including CSV, IFC, GIS (SHP) or Navisworks®.
Produce detailed and accurate plans with less effort
KeyLIGHTS is a complete solution that allows you to design your entire lighting and power plan along with related civil works all in one place.
Respond to design changes faster
Dynamic editing capabilities provide accuracy and flexibility, whilst offering immediate feedback and guidance, saving you time from re-working your designs.
Visualize the results in 2D and 3D
KeyLIGHTS’ Light Calculation Engine (LCE) generates light levels and plots that you can view in 2D or 3D. With the built-in 3D modelling, you can create vertical illuminance grids showing light levels on buildings or sloped terrain or check your design for driver visibility and safety through 3D driver’s eye views.
Features
Create Highway Lighting Schemes Easily
KeyLIGHTS includes a powerful fully featured lighting calculations engine. Light levels are dynamically generated from the photometric data files specified for your luminaire symbols.
- Includes its own illuminance calculation engine and roadway calculation tool
- Fully integrated Highway Power Calculation (HPC) module for BIM collaboration and maintenance inventory
- Export your designs to a range of formats including CSV, IFC, GIS (SHP) or Navisworks
- Facilitates the drawing of detailed ducting and cabling designs
Roadway Calculation Design Tool
KeyLIGHTS includes a full-featured roadway design tool for luminance calculations. You can create simple or complex road profiles—including any combination of verge, cycle path, hard shoulder, footway, or carriageway—at any elevation. These can be saved to the drawing as CAD objects, or as external files for collaborative design and re-use.
Light Calculation Engine
KeyLIGHTS’ powerful Light Calculation Engine (LCE) automatically generates light levels from the photometric data files specified for your luminaire symbols, and dynamically updates levels and light contours on your design drawing if column placement is altered.
Highway Power Requirements
The integrated Highway Power Calculations (HPC) module calculates all cable and fuse requirements to meet the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), allowing you to quickly produce test schedules and schematics. KeyLIGHTS also facilitates the drawing of detailed ducting and cabling designs. Voltage drops and other electrical properties are automatically updated if your design needs to be changed to meet lighting requirements.
Vertical Illuminance Grids
Easily integrate Ordnance Survey (OS) information to calculate light levels on building frontages and on the ground, including on slopes. Handy tools allow you to rotate lighting calculation grids in any plane, providing for environmental impact.
Built-in 3D and BIM Capabilities
Using the stored data in your design, KeyLIGHTS can rapidly generate dynamic 3D enabled models. You can also create your own custom data fields for exports to Navisworks, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), or SHP for Esri and other GIS products.
3D Driver’s Eye Views
KeyLIGHTS employs 3D capabilities to generate driver’s eye views that can be used to assist with safety audits. Other 3D features such as buildings, walls, trees, signs, and more can be added to enhance the design drawings for presentation.
Establish Lighting and Equipment Presets
Choose from a comprehensive library or use the Light Manager dialog, you can build your own symbol library of lighting columns and other electrical equipment, choosing any required properties to be used as presets. Once inserted in your scheme designs, all necessary data—including photometry files, and physical characteristics such as column diameter, material, foundation dimensions, bracket outreach, and height—are stored with each symbol in the design drawing and can be easily exported for use with other programs or to support the BIM process.
Licensing Options
Transoft Solutions offers a range of licensing preferences for the majority of our software. These different options were developed to help small, sole proprietorships right on up to the largest multinational companies meet their transportation design and analysis needs in the most efficient manner possible. Transoft Solutions software uses our own proprietary licensing technology that allows for ease of deployment and flexibility to upgrade at anytime.
User Subscription license is a model where a set number of Subscribed Users can access the software through their unique logins and passwords for a predetermined length of time (e.g. 12 month terms). The software can be installed on multiple workstations.
Each Subscribed User represents one individual and their login and password, which cannot be shared with other users. Software activation is an easy process and can be done over the Internet.
Why Choose the User Subscription License Option
User Subscription license offers a cost-effective way for small businesses to start with one user and grow by adding additional users. For larger organizations, it will offer more flexibility in user administration and management via the My Transoft Portal. Furthermore, it can easily handle scalability and budgeting as per the business needs defined by the number of users.
User Subscription licenses provide the highest quality software for the best value.

Team Subscription License (TSL) is a new cloud license option that is intended to support casual or occasional users of the software. The size of a Team Subscription License is represented as a number of allocatable seats.
Why Choose the Team Subscription License Option
While User Subscription Licenses (USL) are better for dedicated users, Team Subscription Licenses can be a good complement to these if your organization has occasional, less heavy users of the software.
HOW IT WORKS
Each user of a Team Subscription license must have an account in the My Transoft Portal to request a license. Internet access is required for this process.
When an end user starts the software product on their workstation, the software will connect to the My Transoft Portal and will determine if any of the seats are available. If they are, a seat will be allocated and dedicated to that end user for a period of 24 hours, the end user will have unrestricted access to that seat for the duration of the 24-hour period. At the end of the 24-hour period the seat allocation will automatically expire and another user will be able to claim it.
Once all the Team Subscription License seats are allocated at a given time, no other end user will be able to use that license until the 24-hour period expires and one of the seats is automatically deallocated.
KEY BENEFITS OF TEAM SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE
- More flexibility for your team members
Allows access to software for casual users without having to spend on dedicated licenses for all users - Less administrative effort by IT
