What to pay attention to when purchasing LED street lights

LED street lamp is a new type of road lamp which uses semiconductor lighting source as its luminous source.

It has the characteristics of energy conservation and environmental protection, and is widely used in the night landscape lighting projects in places such as highways and urban streets. With the rapid development of our economy and the implementation of energy-saving and emission reduction policies, the traditional high pressure sodium lamps which consume more energy are gradually eliminated and replaced by energy-saving and environment-friendly led street lamps. Many consumers are easy to buy inferior products because they do not have certain knowledge when choosing. Here is a brief introduction to some common sense about LED street lights:

1. Look at the manufacturer.
Quality and after-sales service can only be achieved by selecting regular products; At the same time, we should also check whether we have our own institutions and testing centers, so as to ensure the stability of product quality and service life. In addition, we also need to know the scale, whether there is an after-sales system, etc.

2. Select brightness.
Generally speaking, the light intensity of ordinary street lamps is about 250-300LUX, and there will be a corresponding adjustment range according to different use environments. For example, the light intensity on highways is generally between 300-400 LUX. If it is used for road lighting in residential areas or factories, the requirements are lower, about 150-250 LUX.

3. Pick power.
High power LED products have small light attenuation and long service life, so the price is also high; On the contrary, low-power LED has high light efficiency, fast attenuation and easy damage, so its price is much higher. If the budget is limited, it is recommended to consider products with medium and low wattage, which can save costs and achieve better results. In addition, we should also pay attention not to blindly pursue super bright LED products, because such super high brightness not only wastes electricity but also may cause light pollution.

4. Check the certification.
Formal manufacturers will pass 3C mandatory security certification, 3CE EU security certification and other related certification to ensure that their LED products have good quality and performance.

5. Than service.
Good production generally establishes a complete service system so that customers can get timely guidance and services during the use process.

6. Focus on details.
The heat dissipation design of LED street light source is also one of the very important factors. At present, most LED street lamps on the market are installed outdoors, so when installing, you must consider its own heat dissipation problem and take relevant protective measures to avoid affecting the normal use.

7. Anti counterfeiting.
Now there are many imitated LED street lamp products on the market, and these products can almost be confused in appearance, even some parameters are better than them. Therefore, we should try our best to purchase products from the exclusive stores or official websites to reduce risks.

The above are some basic methods on how to correctly select LED street lamps. I hope the above points can help you correctly identify the good and bad LED street lamp products!
