Modular LED street lights are street lights made with LED modules. These modular light source devices consist of LED light-emitting elements, heat dissipation structures, optical lenses, and driver circuits. They convert electrical energy into light, emitting light with a specific directionality, brightness, and color to illuminate the road, improving nighttime visibility and enhancing road safety and aesthetics. Modular LED street lights offer advantages such as high efficiency, safety, energy saving, environmental friendliness, long lifespan, fast response time, and high color rendering index, making them crucial for energy-efficient urban lighting.
First, modular LED street lights dissipate heat better. The dispersed nature of the LEDs minimizes heat accumulation and reduces heat dissipation requirements. Second, they offer a flexible design: for higher brightness, simply add a module; for lower brightness, remove one. Alternatively, the same design can be customized for various applications by replacing different light-distributing lenses (e.g., tailored to road width or lighting requirements).
Modular LED street lights feature automatic energy-saving controls that minimize power consumption to meet lighting requirements at different times of day, saving energy. This feature can also be used to implement computer-controlled dimming, time-based control, light control, temperature control, and other functions.
Modular LED street lights have low light decay, less than 3% per year. Compared to high-pressure sodium lamps, which have a greater light decay rate of over 30% per year, LED streetlight modules can be designed with lower power consumption than high-pressure sodium lamps.
In addition, modular LED streetlights offer high light quality and are essentially radiation-free, making them a typical green lighting source. They are not only reliable and durable, but also have low maintenance costs.
Modular LED street lights have a long lifespan. Traditional streetlights use tungsten filament bulbs, which have a short lifespan and require frequent replacement. LED modular streetlights, on the other hand, use LED light sources with a lifespan of over 50,000 hours, reducing the frequency of bulb replacements and lowering maintenance costs.
Future Development Trends of LED Modular Streetlights
LED modular streetlights will be upgraded in four key areas. In terms of intelligence, leveraging IoT and edge computing, the system overcomes the limitations of remote control, integrating data such as traffic flow and lighting to achieve adaptive dimming, and connecting with transportation and municipal systems, becoming the “nerve endings” of smart cities. In terms of multifunctionality, the system leverages modularity to integrate environmental sensors, cameras, charging stations, and even 5G micro base stations, transforming it from a lighting tool into a multi-purpose urban integrated terminal.
In terms of high reliability, the system focuses on full lifecycle resilience, utilizing a wide-temperature range driver, corrosion-resistant housing, and a modular quick-release design to reduce failure and maintenance costs, resulting in a service life exceeding 10 years. In terms of energy conservation and environmental protection, the system utilizes flip-chip technology to increase luminous efficacy to over 180 lm/W, reducing light pollution. It integrates wind and solar energy to create off-grid systems, promotes standardized recycling, and achieves a material recycling rate exceeding 80%, aligning with the “dual carbon” goals and building a fully integrated low-carbon closed loop.
TIANXIANG modular LED streetlight offers a choice of 2-6 modules, with lamp power ranging from 30W to 360W to meet the lighting needs of different road types. The LED module adopts a die-cast aluminum fin design to improve heat dissipation efficiency and achieve better heat dissipation of the lamp. The lens adopts COB glass lens with high light transmittance and aging resistance, which further extends the service life of the LED street lamp.
