Since 08 white LED the luminous flux over 100 lm/W, the national each city street lamps before the high-pressure sodium lamp with new LED lights. The cost of the reasons behind the city, LED street lamp power consumption is generally half of high pressure sodium lamp power consumption, and the service life of the latter is a former
the 2008 white leds luminous flux of more than 100 ml/tile, all cities in China with the new LED lights replace street lamp high pressure sodium lamp. The reasoning behind this is cost. Led street lamp power consumption is half of the ordinary high pressure sodium lamp, the service life of the latter is twice that of the former, greatly save the cost of the city and alleviate the power shortage problem of the city. But many feedback is really disappointing, said the white led street lamp is too bright. Previously, high pressure sodium lamp city or yellow light, but light emitting diode lamp has different frequencies of light, a dazzling white light. The color temperature of the high-pressure sodium lamp is about 2000 - 2500, and the color temperature of more than 3000 of white light-emitting diodes (leds), people believe that it is too bright. Many people complain about white leds is too light, lit up the whole street, influenced their sleep. Others point out that leds will light pollution and damage caused by their retina. Although there are many residents complaints, but led street lamp manufacturers continue to believe that the benefits of light-emitting diodes (leds) far more than these shortcomings, in the present case, replace the installed led street lamp is a waste of manpower, material and financial resources. And it brings convenience and produce, compared to the value of these problems should not be excessive use of led lighting products, as long as they are reasonable, such as reducing the use of child, as far as possible choose yellow light-emitting diodes (leds), pay attention to protecting leds shell and avoid exposure to light. Led lighting is still a social need and accept it. Led lamp manufacturers also suggest that you should choose your favorite sense of light. The white light, color temperature - 5800 6300, Gao Liuming, wide application range, color rendering. The neutral light, color temperature of 4000 k - 5000 k, household light is given priority to with neutral light, create a warm atmosphere. Any development and application of science and technology is a double-edged sword. People should learn to accept it, smarter, and play the advantages of it, limit or control its adverse applications. This is a scientific attitude towards life.
