LED to enhance the quality of urban lighting

The rapid development of economy to speed up the pace of urbanization, with the progress of science and technology, improve the living environment, city lighting has increasingly become a symbol of city civilization and progress. Different from the color and charm of the day, the light of the night to make a city's history and modern dialogue, become richer and deeper meaning. At this time, the city lighting is not only to illuminate the night, but also to the city of another interpretation of the role of another way and perspective, to explore the city's more profound soul and charm.

As a function of lighting and landscape lighting as the main body of the city lighting, quietly become a big energy consumer in the city. Incomplete statistics of the 718 cities in the country has been the existence of the 137 million 230 thousand lamps, they are China's cities in the large energy consumption, behind which hides a huge number of energy consumption. And from the beginning of a street light urban green lighting program is the only way to "low carbon economy".

The Chinese government has formulated the outline of "urban green project plan" for urban lighting in 11th Five-Year". And in 2005 as the base year, city lighting energy saving target of 5%, 5 years (2006 -2010) accumulative total 25%, according to the 11th Five-Year requirements must meet energy-saving 29 billion kwh, reduce carbon dioxide emissions 29 million tons.

LED technology is becoming more and more perfect for the city to provide more energy-efficient, more green lighting system provides the possibility. Make the "low carbon economy" and "zero carbon future" not only become the fashionable words on paper, but also the only way for city lighting to green lighting.

In many big city as a functional LED has high streets and back lanes, lighting lamps, garden lights as the theme, to create a good visual environment, ensure traffic safety, beautify the environment made distinctions won in battle. LED, which is decorated on the outside of the building, has reshaped the nighttime image of landscape lighting, added the charm of the city, and improved the night life. Advanced technology, energy saving, safe use of LED rely on their own low power consumption, long life, high brightness, low heat, adjustable light and other characteristics of the perfect interpretation of the perfect conversion of light and electricity.

As a new frontier subject, the green lighting project in many cities has just started, and the development is very uneven. The management system of city lighting around the city also does not agree, such as lighting work belonging to the planning, construction, municipal, city, power of different departments; sources of funding both funding have independent management mechanism is different; the higher authorities, series of problems led to the process of the system to carry out the work difficult to coordinate. In addition, in the light of the special planning and the management of green lighting and other aspects of the lack of appropriate standards, management, supervision and other systems. The construction of urban lighting in the presence of unfair competition factors, low efficiency, high energy consumption, light pollution is also common, restricting the healthy development of urban lighting industry.

LED has created an attractive picture of green lighting to people. Green lighting is technically possible. And let the dream come true also need the power of the market.

The beauty of green lighting can not only stay in the advocate of experts and government officials, some large enterprises, big cities should stand up to take the lead in the social responsibility. If they can pay attention to the green lighting the city, all can pay attention to the adverse effects of general lighting and light source on the environment, and take care of carbon dioxide emissions, so the consensus will form the green lighting market demand. With the demand of the market, the green city lighting can be widely used in the whole society.
