12 years without dying! Philips LED Street (map)

Philips the world's first making use of LED street lights erected in the street. The Holland Electronics Group says that the life expectancy of street lights using LED is 4 times that of an ordinary street lamp, up to about 50000 hours! That means if you use a LED street lamp for 12 years (an average of about 12 hours a day), you don't have to replace it. Isn't that amazing?! The LED street lamp is located in the central town of EDE, Holland.

LED streetlights

Philips said: LED is the use of solid organic materials, so we use today than in the gas filled in the glass lamp less than a more general and more "robust" (the average life expectancy of gas filled type lamp for 12000 hours).

Before LED is usually used in electronic products, bicycle, car. Now with the development of science and technology LED lamp can be applied in our life lighting. The price of this kind of LED lamp is 2 times that of different street lamps, but it is still very cost-effective compared with its long life. I believe that in the near future we can also use such a long life of street lights.
