What Should You Check Before Buying an LED Street Light?
Wattage and Lumen Output
Wattage indicates electrical power consumption, but it does not by itself determine the actual lighting performance of an LED Street Light. Buyers should also look at lumen output and luminous efficacy.
Two street lights with the same wattage can have different lumen outputs depending on their efficiency and optical design. Therefore, both wattage and light output should be considered when selecting a product.
Luminous Efficacy
Luminous efficacy is particularly important when comparing different LED Street Light products. It indicates how efficiently electrical power is converted into visible light.
The Crompton series available from M.H. Electrical range from 110 lm/W in the SL Series to 150 lm/W in the HL5 Series, providing different efficiency levels for different project requirements.
Beam Distribution
A good LED Street Light should distribute light effectively across the required road area. The beam pattern should be matched to the road width, pole height, pole spacing, and mounting arrangement.
Incorrect optical selection can result in excessive light in some areas and insufficient illumination in others. Therefore, beam distribution should be considered as an important part of the lighting design.
IP Protection
Outdoor lighting fixtures are exposed to rain, dust, humidity, and other environmental conditions. An LED Street Light should therefore have suitable ingress protection for its intended application.
A suitable IP rating can help protect internal components from dust and water exposure and support dependable outdoor operation.
Surge Protection
Electrical surges can affect lighting fixtures, especially in outdoor installations. Surge protection is therefore another important specification to consider when selecting an LED Street Light.
For large-scale road and infrastructure projects, suitable protection can contribute to improved system reliability.
