 The LED street lighting is an integrated light-emitting diode (LED) light fixture that is used for street lighting.  Advantages of LED Street Lighting - Low energy consumption: The much lower energy usage of LED Street Lighting can dramatically reduce operating costs. - Long and predictable lifetime: The lifetime of LED Street Lighting is usually 10 to 15 years, three times the life of current technologies adopted. The much less frequent need to service or replace LEDs means lower maintenance cost. - More accurate color rendering: The color rendering index is the ability of a light source to correctly reproduce the colors of the objects in comparison to an ideal light source. Improved color rendering makes it easier for drivers to recognize potential road hazards. - Quick turn on and off: Unlike fluorescent lamps, which take time to heat up once switched on, LED Street Lighting comes on with full brightness instantly. Unlike mercury vapor, metal halide and sodium vapor lamps (commonly used in street lighting), LED Street Lighting do not have a problem restarting immediately (hot ignition) following a brief power failure or inadvertent turn off. - RoHS compliance: LED Street Lightings don't contain mercury or lead, and don't release poisonous gases if damaged. - Less attractive to nocturnal insects: Nocturnal insects are attracted to ultraviolet, blue and green light emitted by conventional light sources. - Fewer electrical losses: All other types of lighting (except incandescent) require ballasts, additional electronic and/or electromagnetic components, in which some power is consumed. - Optically efficient lighting equipment: Other types of street lights use a reflector to capture the light emitted upwards from the lamp. Even under the best of conditions, the reflector absorbs some of the light. Also for fluorescent lamps and other lamps with phosphor coated bulbs, the bulb itself absorbs some of the light directed back down by the reflector. The glass cover, called a refractor, helps project the light down on the street in a desired pattern but some light is wasted by being directed up to the sky (light pollution). LED Street Lighting assemblies (panels) do not require reflectors and can be designed to provide the desired coverage without a refractor. - Reduced glare: Directing the light downward onto the roadway reduces the amount of light that is directed into driver's eyes. - Higher light output even at low temperatures: While fluorescent lights are comparably energy efficient, on average they tend to have lesser light output at winter temperatures.  Relying on older, less energy efficient lamp technology, street lighting can consume as much as 40% of a city?s overall energy budget. By combining more efficient LED street lighting and networking, ATG iBright? LED street lighting yields significant energy and operational savings. LED street lighting  | | |
