London announced LED street reconstruction project

London Transportation Department announced LED street reconstruction project a partnership with the London mayor's office. Main road street modernization project is the largest single investment in the history of London, the project will achieve 40% energy savings.

Lower power consumption savings per year in approximately 1.85 million pounds, annual reduction of 9700 metric tons of carbon emissions energy saving lamps Project Support London Mayor of London specified target: to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2025 by 60%.

Transport for London (TfL) has plans to implement a new energy-saving lamp project to reduce the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) lighting costs as well as carbon dioxide emissions.

Transport for London street number is about 52,000 light, in order to support the Mayor's goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, TfL has plans to implement the energy conservation plan in the next three years.

By 2016, the program targets an annual reduction of about 9700 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, about annual savings of ? 1.85 million. Also the program will reduce more than 40% of energy consumption.

The first phase of the plan is expected to TfL's 35,000 streetlights to upgrade and service, expected to be completed by 2016. In the next decade, the new LED technology will be applied to the majority of street Transport for London.

(1)In Europe has been to prohibit the sale of ordinary incandescent, beginning from September 2012 to 2016, the law will prohibit the sale of all conventional incandescent lamps. This means that only high-efficiency lighting fixtures available on the market, and LED lighting will replace the traditional lighting.

(2) In addition, the EU has asked the driver to open the vehicle daylight running lights (daytime running headlights), aimed at enhancing road safety. Plus the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive saving policy, some of the mandatory regulations are expected to lead to LED lighting replacement demand surge. How many of Europe often foggy weather, in addition, there are a lot of tunnels, for these reasons, many vehicle headlights must be turned on. Even in the daytime, in some areas of Europe also opened headlights mandatory requirements.

(3) The European Union introduced a bill, the mandatory starting in 2011 in the new car and a small truck-mounted headlights, and from 2012 began to buses and trucks also need to install the headlights. In other words, starting in 2011, even in the daytime all European production and sales of automobiles are required to open headlights. Even the high power consumption of traditional lights should be so. If LED lighting to replace traditional lighting, illumination will increase. LED lighting effectively reduce traffic accidents, even turn on the LED lights for a long time can save power consumption. Therefore, vehicle use LED daytime running lights is expected to increase rapidly. In addition to motor vehicle headlights, demand for automotive interior LED lighting also continued to increase.

(4) On the other hand, not only lighting market demand for LED lights, LED lighting as a decorative lamp is gradually rising in Europe. In Europe, a number of luxury boutiques, LED lamps are increasingly being used for interior lights, LED lights at the airport have also been adopted as a decorative lamp.

(5) LED lamps can be used with high brightness at high temperature and high humidity, so it is more suitable to be used as outdoor lighting, such as traffic lights, signs and electric displays. Facts have proved that, LED lighting is best suited for winter low temperature of Europe, one of Europe's most important target markets and regions LED lamps, companies can create a wide variety of LED application market as well as local traditional special lighting needs ?
