The LEDtronics LED Street Light Solution

By LEDtronics, Inc.

Efficient street lights can transform dangerous streets into safe ones. LED technology can provide the most efficient street lights available with low energy use and long-lasting, bright white light.

While a standard 250 watt HPS (High Pressure Sodium), Street Light will use up to 275 watts including the ballast, the LEDtronics LED replacement unit will only use 82 watts. In addition the HPS lamps will usually last only approximately 8000 hours of usage (2 years at 11 hours per night) until they need to be replaced while the LED light will last 10 plus years. Not only will this save on the cost of replacement lamps and ballasts but also the labor required to change the HPS lamp out four to five times before an LED light would need to be changed.

Ultraviolet light can be harmful to the environment. LED lights do not give off UV light like other conventional HID lamps (High Pressure Sodium, Metal Halide, etc.) and therefore do not attract insects. This also cuts down on cleaning and maintenance costs related to wasps nests or bugs on the lenses of the street lamp.

LED Street lights provide increased nighttime visibility with their pure white light as well as limited light intrusion into residences homes and a high Color Rendering Index that enhances all colors.

We at LEDtronics are currently working on many additional exciting projects for both Electrical and Solar LED Street Light applications. If you are interested in learning more about our street light products and applications, visit www.LEDtronics.com.
