Difference between LED road lights and traditional street lights

LED road lights and traditional street lights are two different types of lighting devices, with significant differences in light source, energy efficiency, lifespan, environmental friendliness, and cost. Today, LED road light manufacturer TIANXIANG will provide a detailed introduction.

1. Electricity Cost Comparison:

The annual electricity bill for using 60W LED road lights is only 20% of the annual electricity bill for using 250W ordinary high-pressure sodium lamps. This significantly reduces electricity costs, making it an ideal energy-saving and consumption-reducing product and aligning with the trend of building a conservation-oriented society.

2. Installation Cost Comparison:

LED road lights have a power consumption of one-quarter that of ordinary high-pressure sodium lamps, and the cross-sectional area required for laying copper cables is only one-third that of traditional street lights, resulting in significant savings in installation costs.

Taking these two cost savings into account, using LED road lights can help homeowners recover their initial investment within a year compared to using ordinary high-pressure sodium lamps.

3. Illumination Comparison:

60W LED road lights can achieve the same illumination as 250W high-pressure sodium lamps, significantly reducing power consumption. Due to their low power consumption, LED road lights can be combined with wind and solar energy for use on secondary urban roads.

4. Operating Temperature Comparison:

Compared to ordinary street lights, LED road lights generate lower temperatures during operation. Continuous use does not generate high temperatures, and the lampshades do not blacken or burn.

5. Safety Performance Comparison:

Currently available cold cathode lamps and electrodeless lamps use high-voltage point electrodes to generate X-rays, which contain harmful metals such as chromium and harmful radiation. In contrast, LED road lights are safe, low-voltage products, significantly reducing safety risks during installation and use.

6. Environmental Performance Comparison:

Ordinary street lights contain harmful metals and harmful radiation in their spectrum. In contrast, LED road lights have a pure spectrum, free of infrared and ultraviolet radiation, and produce no light pollution. They also contain no harmful metals, and their waste is recyclable, making them a typical green and environmentally friendly lighting product.

7. Lifespan and Quality Comparison:

Ordinary street lights have an average lifespan of 12,000 hours. Replacing them is not only costly but also disrupts traffic flow, making them particularly inconvenient in tunnels and other locations. LED road lights have an average lifespan of 100,000 hours. Based on 10 hours of daily use, they offer a lifespan of over ten years, ensuring a permanent, reliable lifespan. Furthermore, LED road lights offer excellent waterproofing, impact resistance, and shockproofing, ensuring consistent quality and maintenance-free operation within their warranty period.

According to valid data statistics:

(1)The cost of the new LED road lights is about three times that of traditional street lights, and their service life is at least five times that of traditional street lights.

(2)After replacement, a large amount of electricity and electricity bills can be saved.

(3)The annual operation and maintenance costs (during the service life) after replacement are almost zero.

(4)The new LED road lights can easily adjust the illumination, making it convenient to appropriately lower the illumination in the second half of the night.

(5)The annual electricity bill savings after replacement are quite considerable, which are 893.5 yuan (single lamp) and 1318.5 yuan (single lamp), respectively.

(6) Considering the large amount of money that can be saved by significantly reducing the cable cross-section of the street lights after replacement.
