LED street lights offer many advantages. They are sustainable and cost-efficient because they last longer and consume less energy than their conventional equivalents such as incandescent, halogen or fluorescent lights. Below are some benefits of LED street lights.
LED street lights can help cities become more sustainable by shrinking their carbon footprint thanks to lower energy consumption. As well, LED lighting systems can be integrated with smart technologies in order to cut costs, save energy, and make public lighting infrastructure more versatile, flexible and efficient.
LEDs are energy efficient because they emit very little heat, so they require far less power to emit the same amount of light as their conventional equivalents. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and fluorescent lights release about 80% of their energy as heat. LED lights are 40 to 60% more energy efficient than traditional lighting technologies.
