Do LED street lights save electricity?

Do LED street lights save electricity?

LED lights are small in size: LED is basically a small chip encapsulated in epoxy resin, so it is very small and very light. 


   Low power consumption: LED power consumption is very low, generally speaking, the operating voltage of LED is 2-3.6V. The operating current is 0.02-0.03A. This means: it consumes no more than 0.1W of electricity.


  Long service life: Under the right current and voltage, the service life of LED can reach 100,000 hours. High brightness, low heat, and environmental protection: LEDs are made of non-toxic materials, unlike fluorescent lamps that cause mercury pollution, and LEDs can also be recycled and reused.  


   Rugged and durable: LED is completely encapsulated in epoxy resin, which is stronger than light bulbs and fluorescent tubes. There is no loose part in the lamp body, these characteristics make the LED can be said to be difficult to damage. High brightness, energy saving and electricity saving, high efficiency, fast response speed, good shock resistance and long service life. In order to illustrate the characteristics of white light LEDs, let's take a look at the status of the current lighting sources. The luminous efficiency of incandescent lamps and halogen tungsten lamps is 12-24 lumens/watt; the luminous efficiency of fluorescent lamps and HID lamps is 50-120 lumens/watt.
