LED street lights to replace traditional street lights become a reality

At present, many companies have been trying to venture to invest in the field of LED street lights, and achieved varying degrees of success. A new company called Solid State Lighting on the market conducted an in-depth study, so that the power of LED street lights and the traditional street lamp luminous power equivalent to the light engine technology has been patented.

Remco, CTO and the invention patent Ron RussEL lighting driver said: "the real light source to replace the current LED lighting solutions must be shown not to be inferior in flux and brightness, but also save energy, reduce maintenance costs. "

Traditional street lamps generally use halogen high pressure sodium bulb, non-technical people can tell the difference between the test LED street lights and traditional street lights. Russel pointed out that, although only the replacement of the GE Cobra street light engine components, other Cobra optical components remain unchanged, but after the transformation of the street lamp luminous efficiency is significantly higher than the level of traditional high pressure sodium lamp. Remco president and CEO Mark Mathews, said: we hope that LED street light can reach the level of ordinary street light, and we have developed an effective power of 98% light engine is the key to solve the problem.
