Many indoor and outdoor lights are now being gradually replaced with LED lights. Streetlights are a vital source of illumination in public lighting. With streetlights replaced by LED, we can significantly reduce electricity consumption for public use, which can be efficiently allocated to other vital areas.
Streetlights are an integral part of a city’s illumination. Traditional streetlights using HPSL (high-pressure sodium lamp) beams, which cover 360°, cause a tremendous waste of energy due to the waste of light. Currently, the global environment is deteriorating, and every country is developing clean energy sources. This development presents a significant conflict between energy supply and demand, impacting the national economy. The problem of electricity power shortage should be solved. High efficiency, energy savings, long lifespan, high color rendering index, and environmental friendliness make LED streetlights an essential replacement for traditional HPSLs, playing a significant role in modern metropolitan illumination.
Illumination is closely related to people’s lives. LED streetlights benefit people with their directional lighting, low power consumption, high driving performance, prompt response, high shock resistance, long service life, and green, environmentally friendly characteristics. It becomes the most suitable choice for better road and street illumination
conditions.
Below are some points that we usually
think LED light is better than other Lights:
1, the intrinsic characteristic of LED streetlight—light is beamed in a single direction, no diffusion, and is efficient.
2, specialized optical treatment puts the light in the targeted area, further improving the light efficiency and energy saving.
3. When we talk about the LED, the chip
should be mentioned. This is the most essential part because without it, the LED street light can’t give out light. Not to mention the theorized value of 250 lm/W, we discuss the actual lumen, which measures the light the LED emits. Most factory will use110-130Lm/w, which belongs to better quality,
but it’s the one normal led street light will use.LED light beat the high
pressure sodium lamp on brightness, the disadvantage of HPSL is that the more
light needs more power.
3, LED can have a higher color rendering index of 75 above, I said 75, because regular chips in the markets are at this level, of course, better chips will beat 80 above, according to different manufacturers. The high CRI is an apparent advantage compared to HPSL’s 23ra; furthermore, LED can save 20% of electricity to reach the same brightness as HPSL.
4. Luminous attenuation is an essential factor that should be considered while choosing a luminaire. Why some lamps give out lesser
and lesser light while you continue using? Due to its high light attenuation, the LED has a rate of only 3‰ per year, which is 100 times lower than HPSL.
5, Powered by low-voltage DC current, compared to traditional high-voltage AC current, LED lights are safe for use.
6. How long can you use traditional incandescent lamps and fluorescent tubes? In 4 or 5 years, it will break down. However, this is not for LED. LEDs have an average lifespan of 50,000 hours. Just calculating 6 hours a day, it can last 20 years or more.
7, LED light can be as easy as traditional light to be installed on a pole; many manufacturers are using screws, supports, and other components, which are simple and easy to be fixed safely without much effort.
8, Choosing a reliable manufacturer and asking them to use high-quality electrical components and add independent over-current protection. Because even the best light, if not correctly filled into the components, will fail. This phenomenon occurs with every type of light, including those from machines and LED lights. You will find that LED lights are very reliable when you get high-quality ones. LED lights are more trustworthy than other lights because they utilize high-quality components.
9, LEDs do not contain mercury and will not pollute our environment. However, HPSL has its time to be replaced with LED for a better environment.
10, which are high-quality components produced by a reputable manufacturer, LED streetlights have an almost zero maintenance rate. LED streetlights have a zero-maintenance rate, because every product that needs to be used for a long time should have good quality. That’s common sense.
Some manufacturers produce LED streetlights at a very low price; it’s useless to buy those products, because they are primarily directed at making a profit, not at creating a genuine product.
LED lights, mainly LED streetlights, should always mention their quality standard. Some people would say that even the worst-equipped LED street light will last longer than a traditional HPSL. I
will not doubt it; just think that LED should unleash its full power, don’t let its luster fade in its heyday.
