“Now when I go home at night, the road is bright and I feel more at ease.” Recently, Zhou Dong, a villager from Lujiayu Central Village, Huaxin Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai, praised the newly installed lighting facilities in the community. He said with emotion, “The street lights in the community were not so bright before. After a long time, it felt dim. Now that we have changed to LED lights, the effect is much better. It feels safer and more convenient to go out at night.”

It is understood that the original street lights in the community were 150W high-pressure sodium lamps, which have been used for nearly 5 years. As time goes by, these street lights not only have relatively high energy consumption, but also gradually expose safety hazards such as brightness attenuation, old and damaged, which have brought many inconveniences to the villagers’ night travel and increased the daily maintenance costs.
In order to effectively solve this problem, Huaxin Town actively responded to the demands of the masses and launched a micro-renewal project for lighting facilities. Xu Weijun, the person in charge of the project construction, told reporters that considering the actual situation of dense greenery on both sides of the roads in the community, large distance between street lamps, and large number of residents in the community, the newly installed LED lamps specially selected 80W high power, which can effectively solve the problem of lighting blind spots while ensuring soft light.
1204 street lamps are renewed and upgraded! The quality of the city has reached a new level
It is understood that the beneficiaries of this renovation are far more than the villagers of Lujiawei Central Village. The project also covers four communities, Xiulong Central Village, Gusibang Central Village, Jianqiang Central Village, and Xuxie Community, as well as seven major traffic roads, Fengqiang Road, Huanong Road, Fengya Road, Huazhi Road, Huaya Road, Hualong Road, and Huaxin Street. According to statistics, a total of 1204 street lamps were replaced in the project.
At 19:00 in the evening, the reporter visited the street lamp lighting conditions of Hualong Road and Huazhi Road and found that the newly installed LED street lamps were simple and clear in shape, and the light was even and soft, adding a touch of bright color to the road at night.
“The core content of this renovation is to upgrade the high-energy-consuming high-pressure sodium lamps with dim light decay in the town to LED light sources. It is not only to solve the lighting problem, but also to improve the overall quality of the city.” Xu Weijun introduced that the newly installed LED street lights can effectively solve the problems of relatively low sodium lamp efficiency, poor energy saving, and short service life, and there are also significant improvements in lighting quality, energy conservation and emission reduction.
