LED streetlight

The public spaces in the cities are full of old lighting systems, incandescent lights that have not been renovated and that generate high energy expenditure, high luminescent pollution and, above all, excessive CO2 emission are common.

With the emergence of LED technology for lighting in the 60s, of the last century and its subsequent incorporation with the LED lamppost to public spaces, during the 90s, these issues, of global concern, have diminished; Nowadays, lighting is not the form of energy that generates the most pollution.

The use of an LED lamppost comprises many edges, which are beneficial for society in general. While it is true they promote environmental conservation, they are also a form of direct savings. Incandescent systems, that is high-pressure steam (VSAP), or metal halide (HM), are not very durable compared to LEDs. A VSAP, for example, can offer durability of a thousand hours, while the LED system guarantees up to 50 thousand hours, being able to prolong its existence with a repair.

In this way, the LED lamppost avoids the almost constant waste of the bulbs, promoting economic savings and avoiding the disposal of solids. In addition, the TYD Electronics LED lamp does not use mercury, a matter that worries many of its users; Its components are fully recyclable.

The LED lamp has many forms of use, when we refer to it, we refer to a type of general lighting, necessary in large spaces, open spaces, in which natural light usually already exists, but this must be complemented with artificial light , to optimize the activities carried out there.

An LED ( Light EmittingDiode ), is a semiconductor that emits light when an electric current flows through it, this phenomenon is known as electroluminescence.

The LED lamppost can be found in streets, avenues, roads, parks, squares, sports fields, gardens, terraces, facades, industries, gyms, wineries, shops, residential areas, hotels; finally in all spaces, hence its versatility in terms of shapes and sizes, from very small, to very large, circular, oval and elongated, with the possibility of combining colors, between red, yellow, blue, green and white.

The ideal is a balance

It is important to keep in mind that the use of the LED lamppost can result in the alteration of biodiversity, since excessive lighting generates a prolonged day feeling in birds, affecting processes such as reproduction, feeding, growth.

For example, in the United States, according to its Ministry of Electricity, energy consumption by lighting represents 22% of the total required. But using it in a massive way would undoubtedly help decrease this index and limit the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Because the electrical consumption is lower, the electrical installations for an LED lamppost may be of smaller caliber; This is positive, as it guarantees less use of wiring. In other cases, it is only a matter of replacing an incandescent bulb, with an LED, since the sockets of both are exactly the same.

However, it should be borne in mind that due to its medium novelty, even the LED lamppost, has higher economic costs than incandescent or halogen; This situation must be reversed with the extension of its use. But it is necessary to take into account the price-durability ratio; While it is true, LED is more expensive, it lasts much longer.

It is possible to reach luminescence levels in the streets and optimal public spaces, which do not affect the environment through the TYD Electronics LED lamppost.

The ecological footprint of the LED streetlight

The LED street lamp of TYD Electronics, is produced with the purpose of making environmental preservation sustainable, hence several topics to be taken into account when choosing any of them.

• Use lower electrical energy levels
• Compliance with international standards
• Maximization of economic savings

In addition, the TYD Electronics LED lamp offers a number of advantages to consider:

• Long durability of LEDs
• Reduction in maintenance costs
• Recyclable materials, such as glass and aluminum

The LED street light show

It has become common for large buildings to use the LED lamppost to create striking environments. During the Brazil 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, the Christ of Rio de Janeiro was illuminated with striking green and yellow lights, to reproduce the colors of the Carioca flag.

It has also happened in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has been illuminated several times with the colors that represent a flag or a specific event. Recently, after the completion of the Roland Garros tennis tournament, it was illuminated with the colors red and yellow, as a sign of celebration for the tournament won by the Spanish tennis player, Rafael Nadal.

They have also done so since the Tour de France, one of the most important cycling laps, in which the pointer of the race during each stage is dressed in a yellow shirt; In this way, the color that has dressed the tower for a few hours has been yellow.
