STREET & ROADWAY LIGHTING

Street and roadway lighting here in the United Kingdom is undergoing a complete transformation. New housing developments are opting for LED streetlights as standard, and older more traditional sodium and metal halide street lights are slowly being replaced up and down the country as they stop working. This upgrading of streetlights may be happening relatively slowly, but it is happening, and is likely to continue for quite some time to come. 

When it comes to the lighting options that are available for streets and other open areas, LED lighting is a sensible choice. With the government’s commitments to reducing the country’s impact on the environment, even the smallest steps can have a big impact. Street and area lighting represents a significant use of energy in the public sector and with energy prices on the increase it makes sense to reduce these costs where possible. LED lighting is a simple and easy way in which energy use for the end user can be maximised whilst at the same time 

Smarter LED lighting solutions can also help to lower the costs associated with lighting maintenance as well. With the right technology in place, it can be used to alter the amount of lighting that is needed at a time. This creates a much more sustainable and adaptable solution that will offer the best lighting solution all the time. There are a number of factors that affect the type of lighting that is needed in streets and other outside areas. This lighting needs to be bright enough to help keep people safe during the evening and at night yet not too bright that glare from the lighting can have a negative effect on vehicle drivers and potentially cause accidents to occur. The right lighting solution will allow everyone to feel a little safer and will help to ensure that traffic flows smoothly. Street lighting considerations are also different depending on the type of street involved. Those with more commercial or domestic properties closer together have a higher density of individuals moving around, and these areas usually have more frequent lights. Smaller streets in less densely populated areas tend to have street lighting that is more spread out.
