LEDs, as a type of conductive luminescent material, have gained significant popularity in both domestic and international markets due to their advantages such as durability, high efficiency, brightness, energy savings, environmental friendliness, and fast heat dissipation. In the field of landscape lighting, LED technology has achieved notable success, and its application in street lamps has opened up new opportunities. Compared to traditional light sources, LEDs offer superior performance in multiple aspects.
One of the key benefits of LED street lights is their directional light emission, which minimizes light diffusion and ensures optimal light efficiency. Additionally, they feature advanced secondary optical designs that focus the light precisely on the road surface, improving illumination efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The luminous efficiency of LEDs has already reached 100 lumens per watt, with potential for further development, as theoretical values can go up to 250 lumens per watt. This makes them more efficient than high-pressure sodium lamps, especially when considering overall light output.
Another advantage is the color rendering capability of LEDs, which significantly outperforms that of high-pressure sodium lamps. While the color rendering index (CRI) of high-pressure sodium lamps is around 23, LEDs can achieve a CRI of over 75. From a visual psychology perspective, this means that at the same brightness level, LED lighting can be more comfortable and safer, allowing people to distinguish objects more clearly, especially in environments with higher color temperatures. This reduces the risk of certain dangerous situations on the road.
LEDs also exhibit minimal light decay, with less than 3% degradation in the first year, ensuring consistent illumination over time. This long-term stability allows for lower power usage during design, making them more energy-efficient in the long run. Moreover, LED street lights can be automatically dimmed based on time or traffic conditions, optimizing energy use and reducing waste.
Additionally, LEDs operate on low-voltage DC power, making them inherently safer compared to high-voltage systems, which is especially important in public spaces. Their compatibility with renewable energy sources like solar and wind power further enhances their sustainability and versatility.
In China, companies such as Tianwei and Yingli in Baoding's Electric Valley are leading the way in LED innovation, contributing to both national and global advancements. The Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology has launched the "Ten Cities and Ten Thousand Miles" initiative, which has generated widespread interest and helped expand the LED street lamp market. Pilot projects around the world are also progressing rapidly, highlighting the growing acceptance and adoption of LED technology in urban lighting systems.
With continuous improvements in efficiency, safety, and environmental benefits, LED street lamps are set to play an even greater role in shaping the future of smart and sustainable cities.
