LED Street Lighting

Street lighting is the single largest source of carbon emissions from local government, typically accounting for 30–60% of their total emissions. Accelerating the uptake of LED street lights by the public sector with ‘smart controls’ not only improves road safety and security but also but also significantly reduces a cities energy bill plus carbon emissions.

While it is up to the Department of Public Works, regional government and local city councils to adopt a roadmap to modernising street lighting with LED technology, responsibility also lies with the private sector. Security estates are in abundance in South Africa plus the rest of Africa. Led street lights tick all the boxes when it comes to energy savings, maintenance and replacement costs.

 

Useful Information

Applications

Pedestrian paths and bike paths, rural and urban roads, highways and interchanges, fuel stations and perimeter lighting.

LED street lights save money

You can save up to 70% of energy use deploying LED Street lights (with smart controls) compared to conventional street lighting technology (compact fluorescent and incandescent technology).

LED street lights are long lasting

LED Street lighting lasts much longer (3 to 5 years) than conventional compact fluorescent and incandescent lighting bulb technology. The average useful lifetime is up to 100 000 hours, at a lumen depreciation of not more than 30%

LED street lights are low maintenance

LED bulbs are smaller, lighter, easier to maintain, manage and replace.

LED street lights perform better with smart management

Combine with smart technology, LED street lights can be optimised to performed at peak efficiency through intelligent real time management.

LED Street lights can run off solar power with battery storage

Combined with solar photovoltaic and battery storage technology LED Street light can run off grid.
