LED street lights have unique characteristics in practical use, and they differ significantly from traditional street lights.
In the design process, LED street lights typically consume 60 watts, meaning the annual electricity cost generated by LED street lights is only about 250 watts. In comparison, traditional high-pressure street lights can generate electricity costs equivalent to 20% of that, resulting in substantial savings on electricity expenses. This makes LED street lights an ideal energy-saving product that aligns with the trend of building a resource-efficient society.
During installation, the overall power consumption of LED street lights is approximately one-fourth that of conventional street lights. Consequently, the cable cross-sectional area required is about one-third that of standard street lights. This leads to significant savings in installation costs. Additionally, when comparing costs, it is evident that LED street lights primarily rely on standard high-pressure sodium street lights, allowing property owners to recover initial investment costs within a year.
When comparing overall lighting levels, the illumination capacity of LED street lights can achieve the same level as 250 watts of high-pressure sodium lights, but with significantly lower power consumption. Current LED street lights generally operate at 60 watts, making them more energy-efficient. Moreover, they can even be integrated with solar or other renewable energy sources.
In terms of design and usage, temperature comparisons also come into play. Continuous use of LED street lights does not lead to high temperatures, preventing issues such as blackening or burning.
