LED street lights are much inexpensive and have a life up to 50,000 hours. Replacement of the lights with LED bulbs ensures substantial saving of energy. These bulbs are of 28 Watts and they fit into E40 holders. A much longer life is the great advantage of these lights over conventional lights. In case they are kept switched on for 10 hours daily, they will stand for 12 – 13 years. Moreover, they are hard and will not break easily unlike the traditional bulbs. Thanks to the high colour index of LED and these lights are brighter and emanate true colours during night time. They are designed in such a way that they produce a rectangular beam of light with uniform brightness. Consequently, loss of light as well as dark patch is effectively reduced.

Unlike the conventional lights, these types of lights give optimum brightness instantaneously on switching them on. Reduction of power consumption to the tune of 75 – 80% makes these lights the most favorite since they have revolutionized the task of energy saving. Reduction of power consumption by not less than 60% is assured when this type of bulbs are used for floodlights in the place of halogen or sodium lamps. Using these lights for warehouses, offices and factories will certainly enable cost reduction by way of massive reduction in the consumption of energy. These lamps are eco-friendly as well. They produce more brightness without much harmful emissions.

Manufacturers of lights and bulbs have introduced different versions of LED bulbs as alternatives to conventional lights for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. These lights enable the companies to attain substantial energy economy. The manufacturers also provide prompt customer service for their products. Strip lighting for bars and restaurants is another new addition based on the new technology. LED street lights are suitable for direct replacement of conventional lights and no changes in the lamp posts and wiring are required making them more cost effective. The manufacturers provide custom fixing brackets for different types of applications like billboards, mounting tubes, etc…

Conventional sodium lights and halogen lights require regular maintenance and annual replacements. But, these new lights will last for more than a decade and they do not require any maintenance. Thus, there is huge saving on equipment cost and labor cost. They offer 80% savings on power consumption and unlike sodium lights they do not require the much expensive heavy duty cable. Emission of harmful gases like carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are considerably less. These lights have excellent photometric properties as well.
