Chicago used LED street lamp to replace High pressure sodium lamp and that become a global trends

Recently, the Chicago officials confirmed that plans in the next four years, 85% street lamp replacement for the LED street light, this makes the Chicago became one of the largest city where use LED street lighting instead of traditional light .

This plan replaces 270,000 high pressure sodium lamps with more energy-efficient and durable LED street light.

The project is expected to cost $160 million from last year. However, it will also generate energy costs for the city council. LED street light manufacturers say that LED technology can reduce energy consumption by 60% to 80% and achieve investment returns in two years or less.

The plan also includes a smart grid that can be instructed when the lights are not working, so residents don’t need reporting failures. Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel said: "this is a win-win project, not only is one of the largest lighting modernization project, but also reduce residents call 311 (note: 311 is a public service center hotline)."

"According to the proposed project, we will provide modern, reliable and high-quality lighting that will improve the quality of life in every community in Chicago," he said.

Replacing street lights with LED street light is a global trend, and more and more cities around the world are switching to leds to cut costs and carbon emissions.

What ways can see LED street lights to replace the high pressure sodium lamp?

Under the condition of current technology,luminous efficiency of  LED street lamp  is more than high pressure sodium lamp, it is an indisputable fact that TEK LED street lamp can reach 160 LM/W. And HPS spectrum is concentrated in the yellow area, its color temperature is low, only 2000-2500 k, and relatively high color temperature such as LED, LED street light natural white temperature of 4000-5000 k, cold white is 5000-6500 k. At the same time compared with HPS, LED street lamp with high color rendering index, close to natural light in the actual lighting, can bring a person the sense of comfort. Followed by "irradiation uniformity", although the  LED street lamp  lighting is relatively concentrated, but can be by the light path of the second design, can make the light source of lamps and lanterns presents the ideal state, realize the reasonable light distribution curve adjustment, control the distribution of light, so a...

The advantage of new style TEK LED panel light is obvious

Image
TEK  LED panel light , continue to use the reflective surface luminous technology, light after secondary reflection through high light transmittance mask projection, reduce glare, the light is more soft and comfortable to the human eye to watch not easy fatigue, particularly for students who have long time exposure to indoor lighting lighting, subway passengers or office staff. The application of the patented reflective material ensures the reflection efficiency of the light, and the original high light effect of the panel light is retained to the maximum extent. In order to guarantee the reliability of the use,   the design principle of TEK LED panel light  adhering to the "maintenance", improve heat dissipation performance, reduce the LED light failure of lights and lanterns, significantly prolong the service life of the lights and lanterns, saving the maintenance cost of lights and lanterns. TEK LED panel light is more intelligent TEK LED panel light c...

Safe travel: TEK LED high bay light illuminate the locomotive base

Image
In recent years, China's rail transportation has been developing rapidly, and many second and third-tier cities have made great efforts to build urban subway projects, which have brought convenience to people.Subway passenger traffic is large, the operation security is always the top priority, the metro management department attaches great importance to the security of the train, and TEK LED high bay light  illuminate the locomotive base, which facilitates the maintenance and maintenance of subway vehicles. Traditional lighting there exists large droop, short service life, the problem such as glare, can't use how long will be replaced, is not only the economy, and the human eye in this light, easy to produce fatigue, especially the night repair subway locomotive, a bit not careful see not clear parts fault, cause hidden trouble.Today, many subway lines use LED high bay lights , which make lighting more efficient and more efficient.Second, can improve work efficiency, the ligh...
