Photocell LED Street Lights

Street Lights play a significant role in ensuring safety during the dark. When night falls, street lights are on, illuminating the streets, roads, walk ways, and other public areas. Street light bright and guide the way for people at night. With the increasing visibility, pedestrians and drivers can see the potential dangers, avoid the accident. The bright street lights also provide welcoming and dramatic atmosphere to visitors, helping to boost the economics. But the energy consumption and electricity bill are stressful. LED street lights are long lasting and energy-efficient. The high performance and low energy consumption make it the ideal option for street lights.

AGC provides high quality LED street lights with excellent heat dissipation and high protection that can maximize visual quality and ensure the safety. We also take energy costs into account. Therefore, we have some high efficacy (lumen per watt) solutions and solar street lights to help save more energy while maintaining the excellent visibility conditions. Besides, we also concern the light effects on human health, environment, and wild lights. Professional and well-designed light optics are offered to provide comfortable and environmentally friendly lighting solutions.

Can LED lights be used as street lights

It is obvious that LED lights can be used as street lights, and LEDs are the ideal light sources for street lights. As an important part of public service, street lights responsible for increasing visibility and ensuring safety for pedestrians and drivers at night. However, streetlights consume a lot of energy, and they are expensive to maintain. Converting traditional street lights to more energy-efficient ones can help the city cut electricity bills effectively. Because of the long lifespan, high energy efficiency, and outstanding lighting performance, LED street lights are the great alternative. Moreover, LED street lights are more flexible in controlling, the addition of timer and smart control systems allows the adjustment of light levels or even CCT, saving more energy.  

How long do LED street lights last

LED street lights have a very long lifespan and they can last for about 15 to 20 years. But the actual lasting time depends on operating environment such as the temperature, materials of LED fixtures, quality of LEDs, etc. The premium LEDs can reach up to 50,000 hours, 10 hours a day. It means that high quality LEDs can be used for more than 10 years. Other components like the heat sinks also affect the lifespan of LED street lights. High temperature will accelerate light depreciation. Qualify heat sink can convert and dissipate the heat to external environment, avoiding damage to the LED street lights. For solar LED street lights, the battery is the main factor that affects the lifetime. Good quality batteries like LifePO4 have cycle times of about 2000 to 2500 times, remarkably extending the lifetime of LED solar street lights.

All our LED street lights are made of high quality materials and they have passed rigorous tests before putting on the market. Most of LED street lights also come with 5 years warranty. If you worry about the lifespan of LED street lights, why not try our excellent LED street lights?

How do the LED street lights turn on

Did you notice that LED street lights turn on automatically when darkness falls and off during the day? 

LED street lights can be turned on or off with the help of sensors, timers, and smart lighting control systems. One common sensor is the cadmium sulfide photo-resistor, which changes its resistance based on the amount of light that hits it. When the light level is low, the photo-resistor becomes a poor conductor of electricity and activates a relay that turns on the LED light. When the light level is high, the photo-resistor becomes a good conductor of electricity and deactivates the relay that turns off the LED light. Sensors usually work with timer and intelligent controls to turn on/off and dim the street lights automatically. Timer dimming allows the street lights to be automatically dimmed at certain times of the day or night, based on a predefined schedule or an astro-clock. Smart control systems allow the street lights to be remotely monitored and controlled through a central management software or a remote controller. These features can help save energy and reduce carbon emissions by optimizing the street lighting performance. If you are interested in smart control of street lights, please contact us for more information.

Can LED street lights be dimmed

Yes, LED street lights can be dimmed. Dimming feature is one of the most outstanding advantages of LED street lights. It enables more flexible lighting control and more energy savings. With the dimming function, you can turn on or off the LED street lights whenever you want. You can also adjust the light levels of LED street lights according to ambient light condition. Dimming can also work with motion sensors, which allows lower energy costs and longer lifespan of LED street lights. As an experienced LED lighting manufacturer, AGC provides dimmable LED street lights with optional sensors and smart controls like timer control, DALI, Zhaga, photocell, etc., making a more efficient and lower cost street light system.  

Do LED street lights affect wildlife

The effects on wildlife highly depend on the design of LED street lights. Light trespass will do harm to the circadian rhythm of wildlife. For example, light pollution on the beach will affect the hatch of sea turtles at night, which will reduce the population of sea turtles. LEDs are widely taken as the light source of street lights because they provide directional light instead of the light in all directions. This allows the reduction of the negative effects of street lights on the environment, wildlife, and residential areas. It also provides a possibility to balance the lighting needs of people and wildlife at night. To protect the wildlife from lighting pollution, up-light, light trespass, and excessive light shall be avoided. Therefore, the direction, intensity, duration, and spectrum of LED street lights are considered to avoid the harmful effects on wildlife. As an LED lighting manufacturer, we provide LED shielded street lights with professional optics and smart control systems to minimize the negative effects on wildlife.

Do you have solar street light solutions?

We do. LED solar street lights are the ideal solution for the increasing electricity bills and energy crisis. LED solar street lights are carbon-free, eco-friendly, and energy saving. Our LED solar street lights have robust radiators and good heat dissipation. Thus, they can withstand the harsh outdoor environment with stable performance. Fitted with large capacity batteries, our solar street lights have long life spans, and they can support longer lasting time even in rainy days. For further energy saving, we also provide smart control systems and remote controllers for solar street lights. Timer-based smart control system allows different light intensity at certain periods, achieving a more flexible and energy-efficient lighting control. Vertical fixation of solar PV modules are available as well. By integrating solar photovoltaic technology and column lighting systems, solar lighting columns have high wind resistance, lower maintenance, and higher energy efficiency.

Do you have tunnel lighting solutions

We do. Tunnel lighting is different from ordinary street lighting. The visual brightness changes will take place when drivers enter or get out of the tunnel. So good tunnel lighting is critical to provide the comfortable lighting experience, and ensuring the safety of drivers. For our tunnel lights, below are the main features:

1. Various optics options that meet all tender requirements.
2. Perfect heat management, driver Tc below 72deg C @ Ta 25deg C.
3. High efficiency up to 150lm/W.
