Why Choose LED Street Lighting?

LED street lighting systems deliver substantial benefits compared to traditional outdoor illumination methods:

Energy Efficiency: Achieve up to 80% energy savings when compared to older technologies, making LED solutions the preferred choice for reducing energy bills.
Longevity: With a LED lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours, LED systems significantly cut down on frequent replacements and maintenance costs.
Eco-Friendly: These solutions minimise your carbon footprint, helping create more sustainable urban spaces using low-power and environmentally conscious materials.
Improved Visibility: LED technology enhances road safety with brighter, more uniform illumination for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
Durable Design: IP65 and IP66 rated options protects against the outdoor weather, and IK08 protects against knocks and hits.
Reliable: Manufactured from anti-corrosion die-cast aluminium, stainless steel fixings, and high-impact glass for enhanced protection.
Minimal Maintenance: The robust design and extended lifespan of LEDs reduce the operational costs associated with street lighting upkeep through premium driver component quality.
Versatile Install: The bottom entry of the spigot is available in 60mm or 76mm as standard and can be rotated to cater for mounting on a post top like a lantern, or an outreach arm.

Applications of LED Street Lighting

LED street lighting is versatile and ideal for many outdoor lighting needs:

Roadways & Highways: Ensure consistent illumination along busy streets, highways, and thoroughfares.
Sidewalks & Walkways: Enhance safety and visibility along pedestrian paths in urban and residential areas.
Public Parks: Provide well-lit environments for evening activities in recreational spaces.
Parking Areas: Improve security and accessibility in both public and private car parks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What type of LED is used in street lighting?

High-output premium Osram LEDs provide superior brightness while maintaining energy efficiency, delivering trusted quality and long-lasting performance.

What are the different types of outdoor lighting?

Outdoor lighting includes LED streetlights, solar-powered lighting solutions, amenity lights, bollards, wall lights, and older options like halogen or SON/SOX lamps, with LEDs offering the best combination of efficiency, longevity, and minimal environmental impact.

How many lumens are ideal for street lighting?

For general street illumination, a range of 3,000-5,000 lumens, a unit of measurement for the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source, is recommended for residential areas, while 10,000-20,000 lumens or more is preferred for highways and major roads. When designing for these applications, it is worth consulting a qualified lighting designer who can advise on the correct lux levels based on the application and usage. Gemma Lighting offer a free lighting design service with their fully qualified lighting design team.

What makes LED streetlights eco-friendly?

LED lighting solutions use less energy and have a longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This results in lower carbon emissions, reduced energy costs, and a more sustainable lighting option.

How long do LED streetlights last?

These systems have a LED lifespan of over 100,000 hours, significantly outlasting traditional street lighting solutions like SON/SOX lamps.

Can solar energy power LED streetlights?

Yes, solar-powered LED lights can efficiently harness solar energy to provide illumination, making them an ideal sustainable option for many outdoor areas. Gemma Lighting have a range of LED solar street light systems, see the GemSUN LED Solar Street Light for more information.

What are the benefits of smart LED street lighting systems?

Smart systems incorporate advanced features like PIR motion sensors, photocells, DALI dimming and AstroDIM. Motion sensors detect movement and photocells detect changes in ambient light, allowing the system to adjust the light on / off based on external triggers. DALI dimming adjust the light levels and AstroDIM creates simple fit and forget autonomy with no on site commissioning required. This ensures energy conservation and enhanced control, making LED street lighting even more efficient and cost-effective by reducing energy bills by up to 85%.
