Streetlights are a type of outdoor lighting fixture that use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the source of illumination. They are commonly used in public spaces such as streets, highways, and parking lots to provide bright, efficient lighting for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. Compared to traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) or metal halide (MH) street lights, LED street lights offer several advantages. They are more energy-efficient, meaning they use less electricity to produce the same amount of light. This can result in significant cost savings over time, both in terms of energy bills and maintenance costs.

LED street lights also have a longer lifespan than traditional street lights, often lasting up to 50,000 hours or more before needing replacement. This means less frequent bulb replacements and reduced maintenance costs. In addition to their efficiency and durability, LED street lights also provide better quality lighting than traditional street lights. They offer a brighter, more uniform light that can improve visibility and safety on the road. LED streetlights can also be designed with smart controls that allow for remote monitoring and dimming, which can further increase energy savings and reduce light pollution.
