The difference between the use of landscape lights and street lights

The difference between the use of landscape lights and street lights

1. Different heights


The conventional height of street lights is 6-12 meters, and there are also some street lights with a conventional height of 6-20 meters. However, the general height of landscape lights is 3-6 meters. This is because landscape lights are ornamental and do not need to be made too high. The higher they are, the more materials are required, and the more expensive they are.


2. Different lighting power


The lighting power of street lamps is generally relatively large, in the range of 250-400W, and it should be considered according to factors such as the width of the road, the surrounding trees, the height of the light pole and whether it affects the surrounding residents.

The lighting power of landscape lights is relatively small, generally 80-150W, and it may be smaller. This is because the landscape light can have a basic lighting effect. Its greatest effect is to be more ornamental. Its light source power can reflect the overall shape of the light, and it does not need to be too bright.


3. Different places of use


Street lights are generally used in urban or rural main roads, secondary roads, city squares, communities and other places, and the lighting needs are generally larger.


Landscape lights are generally installed in independent areas, such as parks, gardens, high-level communities, commercial pedestrian streets and leisure squares, etc., and landscape lights will also appear in many tourist attractions.


4. Different functions


The main effect of road lights is lighting, which should be able to provide better lighting brightness for pedestrians and vehicles. However, landscape lights only need basic lighting, which is mainly ornamental, used to decorate the surrounding environment and create an atmosphere.


The shapes of street lamps are not so diverse, generally only a few. However, there are many shapes of landscape lights, which are very casual and unfettered. It can be customized according to the surrounding environment and special reasons.
