The British advance LED lighting can reduce energy consumption and light pollution

British researchers are currently actively cooperate with enterprises, expect to be able to develop the light emitting diode (LED) technology is applied to the optimal scheme of road lighting, road lighting equipment to develop more durable and low energy consumption.

According to British media reports, located in northern England, University of Manchester is now working with LED lighting company DialightLumidrives cooperation. Researchers from the University's School of electrical and electronic engineering are looking at how to work closely together in a group of LED to work safely and reliably. Scientists said that if the use of LED lighting, energy consumption can be reduced by 25% ~ 50%. However, when the need for 12000 lumens (a typical household lighting is 60 watts or more than 800 lumens) or more lighting, heating and other electrical related issues will become barriers to the adoption of LED technology. Engineers will also face a number of practical problems, such as the heat generated by a compact set of LED. Since the LED module will be used outdoors, it is necessary to consider the actual environmental factors, such as the possibility of building a nest on the key heat sink.

University of Manchester Dr. RogerShuttleworth said: "the Department of energy conversion of light emitting diode technology was the first to show its excellence is in the display apparatus in 70s, then we increasingly see the light emitting diode is used in things such as traffic lights and car lights on this kind of." In twentieth Century, "he said," all the objects that looked like orange were replaced by high-pressure sodium lamps. These high pressure sodium lamps shine more brightly, and in line with the visual aesthetic, but also to help solve street crime and anti social behavior, while low energy consumption." He added, "as environmental issues are mentioned in the first place in the national and government agenda, energy saving has become an important issue. If you know how much light you have in the UK alone, you will be able to see how much energy and cost savings exist."
