The situation of LED lighting applications in other countries

October 19-26, 2014, I was fortunate to attend Cityscape Municipal Authority delegation to investigate the German and British parts of the city. Mission personnel with Frankfurt, Cambridge two government departments conduct technical exchanges on urban lighting intelligent control, energy-saving technologies, LED lighting applications and urban lighting management, and site visits, energy-saving equipment to consult and negotiate, benefit bandit Light, described below, to share with their peers.

Firstly, the construction and transformation of urban lighting facilities to plan as a leader, as a fundamental norm. Mr. PH told us, at present the UK road lighting facilities are obsolete, the government agreed to transform them, new lighting facilities planning lifespan is 25 years, taking the "overall planning, step by step, government regulation, market operation" principle. In Frankfurt, Germany Weilburg, Mr. KR introduced, they are performing a standard European appliances, designed mainly consider two safety, one environmental safety and to avoid public plant by light pollution (IUCN). Second, pedestrian safety, traffic (social protection). Planning, design, once formed, no change under normal circumstances, only fine adjustment.

Second, the city lighting facilities management practices. As the foreign small government, big society, use the strip and block the combination management mode, each perform their duties. County or region is responsible for the planning, development, urban lighting departments responsible for the planning, design, communication up and down, building maintenance regulations, the unit bidding, disbursement of funds. Establish inspector, regular inspections, to fully mobilize social forces of urban lighting facilities repair online complaints, such as the municipal government set up a "put my lamp repaired," the website for public reflection.

Third, urban lighting facilities construction and maintenance market operation. Construction and renovation of facilities such as lighting, the government is responsible for planning, goal-setting, contractor selection, project management and fund disbursement plan. The Contractor is responsible for construction, maintenance and financing. (Ie construction, reconstruction funds first by the contractor to bank loans, the government paid regularly scheduled life, avoiding the difficulty centralized government payments.)

The fourth is a strong awareness of energy conservation. UK Cambridgeshire reception we discuss the meeting room, no conference table, a conference hall, we have some incredible. Mr. PH explained for us that the Government has been adjusted in order to save, merge, another provisional meeting room use. Concentrated in the Chamber reception. Use of energy efficient lamps in the Chamber. Street light energy saving is mainly reflected in: First, by using intelligent control, midnight closed sections of lighting; the second is the use of energy efficient light sources; the third is the commercial district rely on businesses along the street lighting, road lighting supplements; four is rare landscape lighting.

Fifth, urban lighting facilities is relatively simple, but the utilization rate is high. On foreign road lighting poles simple functions, cement pole, metal rods (diameter steel pipe, etc.) and a small amount of taper rod, lighting is relatively simple (mostly used Philips338), and the large distance between the lamp (40-45m), Some road with studio lights, with some street lamp, but with the street houses more harmonious. In light poles hanging traffic lights, traffic signs and other facilities abound, higher utilization of visible light pole.
