In recent years, the LED street light industry has entered a relatively mature stage. LED street light manufacturers are not only competing on price, but profits are gradually decreasing, and the application of LED street lights is constantly expanding.
The number of LED street light manufacturers is also increasing significantly, leading to a large disparity in the quality of street lights. Many low-level products lack technological content. Therefore, what problems exist in LED street lights? What solutions are available from LED street light manufacturers?
1. LED prices are relatively high
Currently, the cost of LED street lights is still far higher than that of high-pressure sodium lamps. An LED street light can cost between 3000 to 5000 yuan, or even higher, while a set of imported high-pressure sodium lamps (including fixtures and complete electrical sources) does not exceed 1500 yuan. It is evident that LED street lights are indeed more expensive than high-pressure sodium lamps. As a result, even though the power consumption of LED street lights is only half that of high-pressure sodium lamps, the high initial cost means that the return on investment period for replacing high-pressure sodium lamps with LED street lights remains long. Thus, the only way to address this is through the maturity of LED technology, increased luminous efficiency, and leveraging the advantages of LED lifespan and energy savings to compensate for the high price of light fixtures.
2. Domestic light sources cannot meet market demand
The development of domestic LED light sources started relatively late compared to international standards, and there is still a gap in technology. Currently, the luminous efficiency of imported light sources, such as Cree, Nichia, and Osram, generally exceeds 100lm/W. Although there is continuous investment in the development of LED technology domestically and improvements in technical levels, the light efficiency has only developed from 30lm/W to 60lm/W, and then to 100lm/W. Domestic LED light sources still cannot meet market demand. Bitpott LED street light manufacturers use American high-efficiency chips, which are safe, reliable, and long-lasting.
3. Insufficient stability of power supply systems
Poor reliability of power supplies can lead to street lights failing shortly after installation. For outdoor high-mounted devices such as LED street lights, installation can be difficult, and maintenance becomes even harder. For LED street light manufacturers, unstable power supplies increase repair costs. Thus, the quality of power supplies for high-power LED street lights remains a significant barrier to their development.
