Why the winter to use LED lights? Lighting experts to guide you

In the winter, cold weather, wind and snow flurries will sweep across many parts of the country. In Snow gleams white. conditions, processing road is not easy, the security problem is real. Chintala business development manager Nick Eaton lighting division about road lighting problem under the cold weather.

To improve the safety of drivers and pedestrians

Modern lighting technology is to improve the safety of drivers and pedestrians on the road in winter.

The traditional high pressure sodium lighting produces lower color rendering index (CRI<25) and makes the driving environmental distortion, and solid state lighting can provide broad spectrum high color index (CRI>70) and a better view.

Solid state lighting using high temperature spectrum (usually 3000K CCT to 6000K) and color index (CRI> 70) products; compared with the high-pressure sodium lamp source, solid-state lighting has improved visibility and broad-spectrum detection objects of the road. Low light color index may distort the environment.

Chintala said: "compared with the traditional HID technology such as high pressure sodium lamp, 2000K CCT, in the 4000K color temperature of broad-spectrum illumination, detection of vehicles and pedestrians can be improved."

LED and colder climate

It often snows in the area, LED is ideal for road lighting.

Chintala said: "the level of brightness and with proper design of LED system, can in the snow under the condition for the driver to provide excellent object detection and contrast", "reflective properties scattered in the snow covered road light environment can increase brightness and illuminate the road."

A common problem is that because LED cannot thaw, so LED is ideal for traffic and street?

Chintala said: "the road lamp optical system is usually level oriented, anti ice", "if the lighting design is reasonable, the interference is almost not a problem."

Parking lot and other outdoor lighting similar problems. Parking lot and roads will usually clear the snow, but because the reflective properties of the white surface, the light level of the surrounding environment to increase. LED can be adjusted according to the brightness, so as to provide a more secure environment for pedestrians and drivers.

For a few months of the year in the worst, LED is to improve the visibility and maintain excellent selection of road safety. When winter weather, lighting design powerful and appropriate color to create the best conditions for pavement. (compiled: LED James)
