LED Street Lights are not only popular on streets, but very popular as LED Parking lot lights in places like retail or car dealerships because of how good they look. But why is it that LED lights are being hailed and preferred by many in comparison with the old streetlight designs such as metal halide, sodium, and mercury bulbs that were conventionally used for street illuminating purposes? There are a number of reasons for that.
1. More energy efficient - Newer models can be 40-60% less energy than a metal halide equivalent.
2. Long life - above 80000hrs life span ensures less changing of bulbs and reduced costs.
3. Improved light - LED lights tend to have a cleaner light, with no flickering, zebra striping or other problems.
4. Smaller size- LED Light fixtures are generally much smaller in size, allowing for easier installation and better aesthetics.
