Losangeles uses LED street lights, is expected to save $10 million per year

LEDway street plan approved in the US city of Losangeles as part of the green lighting program, and in the local residential area with the BetaLED plan? Instead of modern lighting lamp head.

The city plans to transform the project, including, in the next five years, the city will be replaced by 140 thousand high-pressure sodium lamp (HPS) for LED lighting. It is estimated that the replacement of LED street lights will reduce the city's energy consumption by 40%, and can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40500 tons per year, or equivalent to reduce the number of cars on the city road, 6700. In terms of reduced energy consumption and carbon dioxide costs, the city will save about $10 million a year.

The advantages of LEDway street lamps include:

Lower total cost of ownership. Since LEDway street lights can reduce energy and maintenance costs, therefore, LEDway street lights can reduce the total cost of ownership, freeing up funds for other budgets and capital expenditures.

Save energy costs. Compared with the high-pressure sodium lamp, LEDway street lamp energy saving is usually 40-60%. Lighting control using wireless and power line carrier technology can further enhance the overall energy savings of LED systems.

Near zero maintenance. All cities found that LEDway street lamps can greatly extend their expected life, therefore, the use of LED street lamp almost no maintenance, but also can save the replacement of the lamp to pay the additional costs.

Safer and clearer. LED lamp can produce white light, and can significantly improve the color temperature. The LED lamp adopts the unique optical design, can achieve more uniform light output, eliminate between lamps and the dark, for the vehicle and pedestrian traffic and create a more secure environment.

No harmful substances. LED street lamp conforms to the RoHS standard, compared with the traditional light source, LED street lamp does not contain mercury or other harmful substances.

Reduce light pollution. LEDway street lights have passed IESNA certification, and comply with the international dark sky Association (International Dark Sky) guidelines. Patented NanoOptic technology can focus light on the target area, not spread to neighboring areas or into the night sky.

Reduce carbon footprint. Due to the LED street lamp has energy efficiency and leading design process, therefore, LED street lamp can reduce waste and reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the city.

Reduce costs, reuse, recycle. LEDway products are made of recycled materials (aluminum casting and extrusion) (20-25%) (by weight). There are 70% (by weight) of the LEDway components using aluminum casting and extrusion, and easy to recycle. Corrugated packaging can be recycled 100%.
