Xionglin Landscape Avenue installs LED lights

Last year, a waterfront landscape avenue was built in Xionglin. The LED street lights were very bright at night, causing many farmers to question whether the growth would be affected and the ears would not form. , It is recommended that the rice farmers provide evidence after the first phase of the harvest before they can apply for the hood.

The Agriculture and Grain Section of the Agriculture Department stated that the strong light of the street lights will indeed cause the crops to grow too long, making the plants think that it is always in the daytime, and the growth cycle will be disturbed. Or coordinate the maintenance unit to change the light direction and light wavelength.

The local rice farmers pointed out that since the LED street lights were installed on this road last year, the rice crops near the roadside did not bear ears, and the losses were considerable. It was suspected that the white light emitted by the LED street lights at night disrupted the growth cycle of the rice crops, so they were worried about the first phase of this year. The rice seedlings that have just been planted will also be affected, because the seedlings will not grow much.

It is understood that about 6 kilometers of roads on both sides of County Road 120 are rice fields, and the rice fields are only 7 meters away from the street lights. The Xionglin Township Farmers Association said that there has never been a case of light damage to rice farming in the past, but there have been street lights. Cause the spinach to only bloom and not grow leaves.

The Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department said that the traditional sodium gas lamps are yellow light, which is different from the white light of LEDs, but the radiation distance of LED lamps is not far. In fact, the survey believes that the street lamps are located in the center of the road and have a certain distance from the rice fields. It is impossible to confirm that the agricultural damage is Street lights.

The Conservation Division pointed out that in the past, there were cases in Xinpu Town of street lights that affected the growth of rice crops. However, since the lights directly hit the top of the rice crops, a sun hood was installed in the future to solve the problem. County councilor Zheng Yuyun said that he would assist farmers in producing evidence, but the status quo is temporarily maintained, because once a hood is installed, it will affect the lighting, and the Public Works Office is even more worried that it will cause poor visibility for passersby and cause driving hazards.
