The development of transportation infrastructure in recent years has created a great demand for different types of lighting, in which LED street lights are always of greatest interest. It is forecast that the demand for LED street lights may increase sharply by up to 300% in the next decade due to increased urbanization in recent years. So why are LED street lights so interested? Let's find out with NLT Group through the article below!
What is LED lighting solution?
Đèn LED LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of lamp that uses the principle of electroluminescence to create light. When current flows through a semiconductor, the electrons in the semiconductor will move and combine with holes, creating photons - light.
The appearance of LED lights has completely changed the way of lighting and energy saving in recent years. Compared to traditional lights, LED lights consume less energy, have a longer lifespan and do not contain toxic ingredients such as mercury. Thereby bringing high efficiency, energy saving and environmental friendliness.
What's different about new-age LED street lights?
LED street lights are a form of LED lights specifically designed to illuminate roads, streets and public areas. They integrate LED light source technology, LED control devices with IoT and LED module connector technologies. In addition, LED street lights also have a durable design, can withstand harsh weather conditions and ensure steady and effective lighting across the entire area.

4 Important benefits of smart LED street lights
Reduce costs and save energy
Using LED street lights can reduce energy usage by up to 50% through the use of smart lightingLED lights consume less energy than traditional lights such as fluorescent or sodium lights. This comes from the operating principle of LED, using electroluminescence instead of the thermoluminescence process like traditional lights. Thanks to this mechanism, LED lights convert electrical energy into light more efficiently, reducing the amount of energy wasted.
An example is NLT Group's LED street lights. Thanks to the smart lighting system, LED street lights and control cabinets can be easily managed and monitored via a phone app or website, helping to save electricity. capacity up to 70% and reduce operating costs up to 90%. If compared with high-pressure Sodium lights, LED lights consume 40% to 80% less. From this specific evidence, we can clearly see that street lights have a clear advantage.

Guaranteed brightness for pedestrians
Traditional street lights, when lit, will usually illuminate the entire space around them. Meanwhile, only traffic roads and pedestrians need to be illuminated. This makes the lighting performance of traditional lamps not very effective. Therefore, the design of street lights requires light to be projected evenly and concentratedly.
Thanks to the optical design, LED street lights have extremely good lighting efficiency, the efficiency can reach 80%, while the efficiency of traditional lights only reaches 65 - 70%.
In addition, thanks to the application of a smart lighting system, LED street lights also have the ability to adjust brightness depending on the lighting environment, ensuring that the lamp's performance is always at the best level, suitable for each time. need lighting. For example, street lights automatically increase brightness during peak traffic hours and decrease to 30% during off-peak periods to save electricity, so smart lighting systems play a certain important role in progress. smart city development program.
LED street lighting solutions from NLT Group have a common color temperature of 3000 - 5000K, color rendering index >80 indicating more realistic light color, helping pedestrians to be safer. while on the move. At the same time, pedestrians will see more easily but will not be blinded.
Light from LED street lights is a safe solution for traffic participants
Long lifespan
LED street lights from NLT Group have a maximum lighting time of up to 100,000 hours, 5 times higher than high-pressure lights. In particular, modern street lights can add lightning protection capabilities, allowing them to withstand the harshest lightning conditions. This is also a feature that high-pressure lights do not have. The common IP index is IP66-67, which helps the light be well protected from dust and water. Even in thunderstorms or lightning, the light still operates stably and does not affected.
The smart lighting solution also saves significant maintenance costs because of its high durability. This type of lamp is equipped with much less heat than previous traditional light bulbs, helping urban managers. Reduce pressure on budget and infrastructure maintenance.
Safe solution for the environment and people
In order to comply with the government's policy under Directive No. 20/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on enhancing electricity saving in the period 2023-2025 and the following years towards efficient and sustainable use of energy. sustainable... to meet a stable, continuous power source to serve the city's socio-economic development.
Accordingly, LED street lights are recommended by leading experts in the field of lighting equipment because they emit little heat and CO2 into the atmosphere and are supported around the world as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon emissions contribute to the goal of combating climate change and building a sustainable living environment.
Summary
Through this article about the top 4 significant benefits that LED street lights bring, NLT Group hopes to decode for you interesting information about new-age smart LED lighting solutions. Please join hands with us in the work of developing smart urban areas, towards a sustainable living environment!
