一,Is it possible to switch out traditional street lights for LED street lights
High-pressure sodium lamps, metal halide lamps, or mercury lamps are common light sources in traditional street lights. LED street lights, on the other hand, are part of the next generation of semiconductor lighting technology. Because of their superior structure and electrical design, LED street lights can be directly replaced in most road illumination renovation projects. This is notably true in the following cases:
The original lamp post and installation interface standards are now the same for all types of street lamps (for example, the same size for all street lamp installations).
The voltage of the power grid supply is stable (typically AC100-277V or AC220V).
Matching the power of the bulb well
The lighting design fits the needs of road lighting.
If these things are true, the upgrade is normally finished by taking down the old lamps and putting up new LED street lights.
二, When replacing directly, there are a few important things to keep in mind.
Even while many projects can be directly replaced, there are still several things that need to be kept in mind when putting them into practice:
1. If the installation interface is correct
There are numerous ways to install street lights, such as:
60mm and 76mm interfaces
Before replacing the LED street lamp, you need to make sure that the installation dimensions are the same as those of the original lamp post.
2. Matching the brightness and power
A lot of people think that LED power has to be the same as old lights, but it doesn't.
A 250W high-pressure sodium lamp is about the same as an 80W-120W LED street light. A 400W high-pressure sodium lamp is about the same as a 150W-200W LED street light.
LED lights use less power because they are more efficient at making light, but they look nicer.
3. Mode of power supply
Some ancient streetlight systems might use:
Outside ballast
Control mechanism that is unique
Most LED street lights come with a built-in LED driver power supply. Before installing them, you need to check to see if the power supply line needs to be moved.
If your DALI dimming LED driver power supply is for a smart street light project, you need also check to see if the control system supports the DALI protocol.
4. How well it lets heat out and the weather
LED street lights need a lot of thought put into how they will handle heat. When utilised in hot or closed spaces, lighting fixtures that last a long time should be chosen.
三, The benefits of updating LED street lights
LED street lights are far better than regular street lighting for rehabilitation projects because:
1. A big influence on saving energy
Usually, it may save 50% to 70% of electricity.
2. Longer life
Most LED street lights last more than 50,000 hours.
3. Costs of maintenance are low.
Less often change and maintain the bulbs.
4. Intelligent control is easier to get
Can be used with:
DALI Smart City Control System with 0-10V dimming
Set up remote management and dimming that saves electricity.
