Over the years, LED lighting has taken over traditional streetlights worldwide. LED streetlights have become a problem solver by being a sustainable lighting solution in today's world.

They provide lighting to:

●     parking lots

●     streets

●     highways

●     roadways

●     sidewalks, and many other areas

Benefits of led streetlights

The high-colour rendering of the LED street lights is realistic and similar to natural lightning. This helps drivers and pedestrians with visual clarity, enabling them to travel safely Let's uncover the top 5 benefits of LED streetlights and find out why it has become the most sustainable solution.

1 Reduced light pollution

Light pollution refers to the light generated by large buildings, skyscrapers, and other types of lighting. This lighting contributes towards urban lighting pollution. Initially, LEDs' cold light blue lighting caused further pollution as the lighting spilt out instead of focusing in a direction.

With innovations and fixture redesigns, light pollution was significantly reduced even though the brightness remained consistent.

2 Environmentally friendly

LEDs are highly known for being energy efficient as they emit minimal light. According to the World Bank, replacing your outdoor lighting with LED streetlights may reduce carbon emissions. It could equal taking out 8.5 million cars on the road for an entire year.

However, LED Streetlights are proven safer for the environment. Unlike traditional street lighting, they don't contain highly toxic chemicals, including mercury.

3 Causes less glare

LED streetlights are designed to generate a bright white light with less energy that is more comfortable and controllable than traditional lighting. Their unidirectional source of light reduces the amount of glare outside on streets.

However, they are uniquely designed with lens angles and controlled light emissions. This means they will spread the light where needed without creating needless uneven glares. These glares could cause discomfort to the travellers.

4 Require less maintenance

Maintaining an ambience and environment of a place plays a vital role in restoring store lights. LED streetlights are more reliable, efficient, and durable than traditional streetlights. They can last up to 100,000 hours compared to incandescent lights, making them much easier to maintain. This results in fewer electrical repairs and low costs for labour and materials.

5 Reach full brightness instantly

LED Streetlights are often described as instant brightness lights. That's why they are primarily used in highways and warehouses to maintain productivity.

As long as it's connected to the electric current, LED streetlights come into full brightness in less than 500 milliseconds. This generates quicker enough light to cover the entire area to prevent any incident. LEDs have become a source of better lighting solutions for the country and have helped reduce energy consumption in multiple sectors.

Factor LED is one of Pakistan's leading LED lighting manufacturers that offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting solutions suitable for every application and environment. LED lighting is ideal for commercial, residential, and industrial sectors benefitting both financially and environmentally.
