Centre College recently developed efficient LED street lamp

Taiwan area of Centre College recently developed high-efficiency LED lamp, can ensure that only light irradiation target range, can also reduce light pollution and glare, while the energy-saving advantages of LED display.

Department of Opto electronics Centre College professor Sun Qingcheng said, the city lights often inefficient usage, because the light source irradiation irradiation target range, make the most of the night sky light radiation to form light pollution, and the research team developed a new lighting system design, using high-performance LED, ensure that only light irradiation target range, avoid exposure to their homes or night.

The team developed the lighting system has a good adaptability to different street lighting design. Sun Qingcheng pointed out that the design can be flexible to adapt to different lighting needs, while maintaining high optical efficiency, so in a variety of Street Lane and roads, can show the characteristics of high energy efficiency and uniform lighting.

In addition to reducing light pollution and glare, the new lighting design and energy efficiency. Sun Qingcheng said that the speed of light LED compared to traditional street lamps can save an additional 10% to 50%, plus the module is only composed of 4 parts, with the advantages of assembly.

It is reported that this research results published in the American Journal of optical fast (Optics) on the Express. Sun Qingcheng said that they will be 3 to 6 months time to complete the prototype development work, and hope that the next year will be formally put into production.
