Compared with previous years, the demand for LED street lights has been greatly improved. However, there are still some areas or road sections that use traditional street lights, so what is the difference between LED street lights and traditional street lights? Please read the article, we will answer all your doubts!
The Difference Between Led Street Lights and Traditional Street Lights
1. Comparison of electricity costs between LED street lights and traditional street lights:
The electricity cost of using 60W LED street light for one year is only 20% of the electricity cost of using 250W ordinary high-pressure sodium street light for one year, which greatly saves electricity expenses.
2. Comparison of the laying costs of LED street lights and traditional street lights:
The power of LED street lamps is 1/4 of that of ordinary high-pressure sodium lamps, and the cross-sectional area required for laying copper cables is only 1/3 of that of ordinary street lamps, which saves a lot of laying costs.
Combining the above two cost savings, the use of LED street lights compared with the use of ordinary high-pressure sodium street lights, the former can allow the owner to recover the cost of the initial increase in investment within one year.
3. Illumination comparison between LED street lights and traditional street lights:
The use of LED 60W street lights can reach the illuminance of 250W high-pressure sodium lamps, which greatly reduces the power usage; LED street lights can be combined with wind energy and solar energy because of their low power usage, and can be used on urban secondary roads.
4. Comparison of operating temperature between LED street lights and traditional street lights:
Compared with ordinary street lights, LED street lights generate lower temperature during use, and continuous use will not generate high temperatures, and the lampshade will not turn black or burn black.
5. Comparison of safety performance between LED street lights and traditional street lights:
At present, the cold-cathode lamps and electrodeless lamps on the market are all excited by high-voltage point poles for X-ray illumination, and contain harmful metals such as mercury, etc., and harmful rays;
In contrast, LED street lights are safe and low-voltage products, which greatly reduce safety hazards during installation and use.
6. Comparison of environmental performance between LED street lights and traditional street lights:
Ordinary street lamps contain harmful metals and harmful rays in the spectrum. In contrast, LED street lights have a pure spectrum, do not contain infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, have no radiation, do not produce light pollution, and do not contain harmful metals, and their wastes can be recycled. They are typical green lighting products.
7. Comparison of service life and quality between LED street lights and traditional street lights:
The average service life of ordinary street lamps is 12,000 hours. The replacement of street lamps is not only costly, but also affects traffic. It is especially inconvenient to construct in tunnels and other places; Above, once and for all. In addition, the LED street light has good waterproof, impact resistance and shock resistance, stable quality, and is a maintenance-free product within the warranty period.
