Traditional street lighting systems have been useful over time. But, they have caused the following problems for cities, municipalities, and residents:
1. Too high Energy Consumption
Street lighting accounts for up to 40% of the total energy usage in many cities. During cold weather, traditional lamps need more energy to produce light.
2. Over Lighting and Light Trespass
Over lighting is another problem. Traditional HID bulbs cannot dim and thus provide unnecessary bright light.In some cities, even with low amounts of pedestrians and cars, street lights operate at high intensity. This leads to wasted energy and environmental issues. LEDs can be controlled and dimmed to provide lighting when required.Light trespass occurs when street lights produce unwanted light. They shine onto adjacent residential properties. Unlike LED, traditional HID lights are not capable of producing directional light.
3. Maintenance Intensive
Another problem with street lighting is the maintenance of traditional lighting systems. Due to their short lifespan, they need relamping and servicing quite often. Money spent on purchasing new lamps, fixtures, and on labor could be spent on better programs. A LED light could operate for 10 years without the need for maintenance.
4. Poor Quality Lighting
High pressure sodium produce yellow light and have poor color rendering ability. Everything appears brown and yellow.
Some MH light , it gives too blue color with high color temperature.
5. Lamp Location
Old fashioned street lighting on some streets distributes uneven. Lamp posts are far apart from each other, creating wide dark patches. In other locations, some critical areas along the street do not have lamp posts. And as cities have developed, lamp locations have not been re-assessed.
Still have some other problems such as light pollution, fixtures appearance and weight, etc
Below is to let you clear the advantages of led street lamp
1. Special structure design
All street lamps are Die casting aluminum heat sink, and have different structure design, to make city more beautiful,some design is also easy for maintenance, such as tool-less access, Clips on he bottom of the fixture allows access to drivers and other vital components. such as our J06 series led street light, Y02 series led street light, etc.

2. High lumen solution
Our led street lamps are high lumen solution, most of them lumen is up to 150lm/w, so with a low wattage led street lamp can replace a higher wattage HPS or MH light, for example, to replace 1000W HPS street lamp, which produce near 20000lumen, we only need 120W or 150w street lamp to replace, the cost of electricity is directly down 85%, a huge cost is saving.
3. More function to save more energy
Our led street lamps can make dimming or intelligent control, such as photocell sensor control , motion sensor control, time-phase control, etc. Especially at the middle night, few people and few cars on the street, no need a high brightness, we possible only need 20% of brigtness, here we can directly reduce the power to 20% from 100%, to save more energy.
4. Color temperature and CRI
Our led street lamps can select the color temperature and CRI as you want, 2700-6500K for options. CRI >70 or CRI >80 are also optional.
5. Green light with low light pollution
Light pollution also affects the lifestyle of mammals, birds, amphibians, and insects by causing disorientation and affecting their migration, sleeping, mating, and feeding cycles. LED technology has addressed the light pollution problem by developing light fixtures that focus light only where it is required.
