Production Description:
Different designs have been created that incorporate various types of LEDs into a light fixture. The current trend is to use high power 1 watt LEDs, but some companies use low power LEDs in their products, including several low power LEDs packed together to perform the same purpose as a single high power LED. The shape of theLED street light depends on several factors, including LED configuration, the heat sink used with the LEDs, and aesthetic design preference.
Heat sinks for LED street lights are similar in design to heat sinks used to cool other electronics such as computers. Heat sinks tend to have as many grooves as possible to facilitate the flow of hot air away from the LEDs. The area of heat exchange will directly affect the lifespan of the LED street light.
The lifespan of an LED street light is determined by its light output compared to its original design specification. Once its brightness decreases by 70 percent, an LED street light is considered to be at the end of its life.
Most LED street lights have a lens on the LED panel, which is designed to cast its light in a rectangular pattern, an advantage compared to traditional street lights, which typically have a reflector on the back side of a high-pressure sodium lamp. In this case much of the luminance of the light is lost and produces light pollutionin the air and surrounding environment. Such street lights can also cause glare for drivers and pedestrians.
A drawback of LED focus panels is that most light is directed to the road, and less light to the footpaths and other areas. This can be addressed by the use of specialised lens design and adjustable mounting spigots.
Energy efficiency
The primary appeal ofLED street lighting is energy efficiency compared to incandescent bulbs of the same luminance. Research continues to improve the efficiency of newer models. One such advance can be found in a street light product created by Lighting Science Group Corporation. One model of LED street lights produced by this group is up to 60 percent more efficient than previous models, lasts for 12 years, and allows for cost recovery through energy savings in only three years.
An LED street light based on a 901 milliwattoutput LED can normally produce the same amount of (or higher) luminance as a traditional light, but requires only half of the power consumption.
As the LED lighting fixtures normally produce less lumen/Watt illumination it is very crucial to have a well distributed illumination pattern in order to do the same job as higher lumen/Watt conventional fixtures. So a good design of LED street lights is to point different LEDs in one fixture to different target points.
