What are the factors limiting the development of LED street lights?

With the acceleration of urbanization, LED street lights have already entered people's field of vision. Today, LED street lights are everywhere in the streets of big cities. It is dotted with the night sky of the city. However, it still does not get the fullest use, but it is because of its own limitations. In order to ensure that LED street lights can play more roles in our lives, in the future research and production and promotion, LED street lamp manufacturers should solve the problem of the shape and structure of these problems. The shape of traditional street lamp luminaires is basically the same, which is generally divided into two parts: light source and electric appliance. However, due to the speciality of LED light source and the different light distribution methods, the shape of LED street lamp luminaires can be described as numerous. Many of them cannot be shaped. To meet the requirements of operation, even some enterprises apply indoor outdoor lights to indoor street lights.

There is a problem with the connection of the LED luminaire to the pole. At present, almost all LED street lights are fixed by screws, and few hoop bolts are fixed. Thus, there is a great hidden danger to the safe operation of the luminaire.

The limitations of LED street lights themselves restrict their development

Replaceability question of luminaire components. LED street light components generally have LED chips, power supplies (drivers), and lamp housings. The most vulnerable parts are power supplies and chips. In general, the LED lamp chip is an electronic heatsink that cannot be replaced, and the power source (driver) can be replaced. However, many products are not convenient enough to replace the power source (driver), and replacement is time consuming.

As we all know, the life of LED lamps can reach 30,000 to 50,000 hours. If the LED chip cannot be replaced, it means that replacing the entire fixture will also result in waste.

Power supply (drive) life issues. The power supply (driver) is a very critical component of current LED luminaires. But currently the market generally only guarantees the quality of the LED chip, and the life of the power supply (driver) is another matter. The average manufacturer promises to guarantee 2 years is not bad. This is ultimately because the development of LED street lights has encountered a new bottleneck. The quality of the power supply (driver) is not guaranteed, which restricts the development of LED street lights.
