We often see high pole lights set up along the roads on our way to and from work. These lights have tall poles, resembling a high spiral staircase, with a bright guardian at intervals of every three to five meters, safeguarding us. This illustrates the role and value of streetlights, which differ from ordinary lights in several aspects.
Firstly, they are more energy-efficient. From the perspective of energy consumption, high pole lights have a significantly lower energy use compared to ordinary lights. Ordinary lights lack effective energy-saving features; while they may be bright, they also consume a lot of electricity. In contrast, streetlights differ greatly in brightness and energy consumption.
Secondly, they can activate automatically. Ordinary lights require manual operation on a timer. They need to be equipped with switches, requiring manual activation and deactivation, and lights with intelligent automation tend to be more expensive. However, high pole lights can self-start, automatically detecting the brightness of the surrounding environment.
Thirdly, they are of higher quality. Compared to ordinary lights, high pole lights offer superior quality. Ordinary lights are somewhat fragile, as they cannot withstand exposure to rain and are unlikely to endure years of harsh weather. In contrast, streetlights are built to withstand such environments.
Regardless of adverse weather conditions or their automatic activation capability, high pole lights not only have lower procurement costs but also boast better quality. They stand tall on both sides of the road, ensuring the safety of pedestrians and illuminating the path for every passerby. This is the meaning and value of the existence of streetlights, as well as the differences between streetlights and ordinary lights.
