Benefits of LED Street Lighting:
- LED (light-emitting diode) lights have many benefits from their long shelf life to their durability. They do not get very hot, unlike many other lighting sources.
- LED lights depreciate at a much slower rate than other alternatives
- They are light-emitting diodes, so they do not have filaments or burn out quickly (they have incredibly long lives)
- No toxic chemicals like mercury
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Long lives mean these are great for areas where it’s inconvenient or difficult to replace bulbs when they die
- Do not produce a lot of heat
- Consume little energy
- Wide, consistent light pattern
- Less hotspots (and then areas of dark spots)
- Improved color rendering comparative to sodium lamps
