LED lighting development take off. One of the big kinetic energy is the street lamp replacement. At the New York Climate Week meeting, Climate Group, which is committed to pursuing a low-carbon economy, called for a decade of global street lighting to halve public lighting energy consumption. Mark Kenber, chief executive of climate organizations, said the number of street lights is expected to reach 350 million by 2025 as cities around the world develop.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is conducting a streetlight upgrade program, which will cost the city’s nearly half of the street lights to replace and the new street light will use energy-efficient LED bulbs.
“The new LED street lamp is now four to five times as long as the life of the street lamp, and it is expected to save 50% of the city’s energy costs,” said Barbara Hale, assistant general manager of SFPUC Electric. “In addition, we can use wireless networking technology to detect each bulb state, through the operation and maintenance platform, tells us how the light state, we can directly understand whether the light quality has met our standard requirements.
