Standards of LED Street Lights

LED street lights are environmentally friendly, reduce costs and save energy. They produce a directional, high level of light which creates visibility without glare. There are no specific standards for measuring, testing or applying LED spot light.
Energy Efficient
LED street lights often replace standard street lights because they're energy efficient which reduces energy costs. According to Pacific Gas and Electrics Street Light Program, customers who use LED tube light for street fixtures can change to a lower billing rate.
New Standard
LED street lights are the new standard for replacing high pressure sodium heads (as of 2011). The electronic LED systems can be dimmed or brightened to different light levels. There are a lot of possibilities for these new systems to control the amount of lighting according to the needs of the area being lit.
Pattern Standards
Pattern standards are set by the Illuminating Engineering Society to help prevent light from being wasted. New advancements in LED light technology have lowered the amount of LED lights in a street lamp fixture. This results in meeting roadway pattern specifications.
