2. LED street lights

Feature: energy saving of more than 40%, color rendering index>70, life of 50,000-80,000 hours

Technical parameters: color temperature 3000-6000K optional, protection level IP65 or above

Intelligent function: can integrate dimming and fault monitoring modules

3. Solar street lights

System composition: photovoltaic panels (monocrystalline silicon efficiency>20%), lithium batteries (cycle life 3000 times), controller

Advantages: off-grid power supply, flexible installation

Limitations: subject to sunlight conditions, double battery capacity is required in northern regions

4. New light sources

Ceramic metal halide lamp: color rendering index>90, suitable for landscape lighting

Electrodeless lamp: lifespan of 100,000 hours, low maintenance cost

 

(II) Classification by purpose

| Type | Installation height | Power range | Light distribution characteristics |

|------------|----------|------------|--------------------|

| Trunk road lamp | 8-12m | 150-400W | Bat-wing light distribution |

| Branch road lighting lamp | 6-8m | 80-150W | Half-cut light distribution |

| Garden lamp | 3-5m | 30-60W | Symmetrical light distribution |

| Landscape lamp | 2-4m | 20-100W | Decorative light effect design |

| Tunnel lamp | Special structure | 100-250W | High uniformity anti-glare |
