Main Factors Affecting Street Light Prices
Introduction
The city is constantly progressing and developing, urban and rural construction is also step by step towards a higher level of progress, urban construction at the same time can not be separated from road construction, and street lights in road construction are also a very important factor. On the road we have seen a variety of shapes and colors of street lamps, but also bring a different visual experience, in the choice of street lamps, street lamp appearance, lighting effect, product quality, and price have been the topic of concern. Factors affecting the price of street lights generally depend on the lamp housing, LED driver, LED chips, and other requirements (such as light control function, microwave function, intelligent control, etc.), the price is therefore generally 30-200 US dollars (and the power of the lamp also has a great deal to do with), according to the different countries of the economic requirements of the quality of our products while ensuring that we will choose a more favorable option. This article is mainly from the street light price and discusses it with you. What points should we pay attention to when designing street lighting?
Why pay attention to the street light prices?
Why do you pay attention to the price of streetlights? This may be our subconscious behavior, just like we go to buy clothes, buy mobile phones, buy other supplies, and pay special attention to the price of the product, only in the price range we accept we will be interested to continue to check and choose, and we pay attention to the street light price may be due to the following aspects:
First of all, any project has a budget, that is, we can accept a price range, only in this range of street light prices end customers will seriously consider buying, usually in several manufacturers of products as well as quotations in all aspects of the comparison, will choose product quality is guaranteed, and the product price is also in the acceptable range of street light products.
In addition, each project has a standard ( What are the common LED lighting certification standards? ), each country may also be different, or the end customer based on the original product specified in a bidding standard, some for the function of the street lamp, some for the street lamp design ( View the city street lighting project ), in the price range, certainly want to provide as much as possible a better product, higher configuration, more features.
Main factors affecting street light prices
At the beginning of the article, we mentioned the factors that affect the street prices, which are also the composition of the street lamp price: including street light housing, LED driver, LED chips, other functions, etc. Let us explain in detail below:
Street light housing
The lamp housing is an important part of the street lamp, which can be said to directly affect the service life of the lamp. Due to the improvement of modern technology, we generally use die-cast aluminum shells. For example, our K, Rifle, and Falcon series street lamps all use die-cast aluminum materials. This generally affects the price of street lamps due to different appearance designs and requirements. In addition, depending on the design, some die-cast aluminum and some aluminum profiles may be used, such as our AL01 series and AL03 series street lamps ( Details of ALmodular design road lamp ). Different designs have different street light prices due to different material usage.
LED driver
LED driver is also an indispensable part of street lamp products, and it is also the key to the lighting of lamps. The quality of LED drivers directly affects the service life and use effect of lamps. There are many types of drivers. According to whether there is a driver or not, they can be divided into lamps with a driver and lamps without a driver. According to the brand, there are many kinds. The more common and used driver brands are: Inventronics, Mean Well, Done, Sosen, Philips, etc. According to different functions, they are divided into 0-10V, 1-10V, drivers with DALI, drivers with DALI2, and D4i functions. According to different customer requirements, there will be solutions with corresponding LED drivers.
LED chips
The quality of the LED chips directly affects the luminous efficiency and service life of the lamp. Generally speaking, the life of the LED chips is very long (unless it is an unreasonable design). As long as there is no quality problem, we don't have to worry. Luminous efficiency refers to the photoelectric conversion efficiency of LED chips (in lm/W). The higher the luminous efficiency, the more electrical energy the LED chips can convert into light energy, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the lamp. Different types of LED chips have different luminous efficiencies, which also means that the prices are different. Generally speaking, for the same brand, the price of LED chips with high luminous efficiency will be higher.
According to the type of LED chips, LED chips can be divided into 3030, 5050, 2835, 3535, 5730, and other LED chips (where 3030 represents the size of the LED chips, which is 30mm×30mm×1.5mm). According to different brands, they can be divided into: Lumileds LED chips, Philips LED chips, Bridge LED chips, Crescent LED chips, Ledestar LED chips, etc. Our company's street lamp products usually use Lumileds LED and Bridgelux LED or other LED chips.
Other functions
Because of the different economic development of different countries and regions, different countries may have different requirements for the functions of street lights. The following are the most common ones:
1. Street lamps with photocell (generally use 1-10V drivers or no dimming driver, with 3pin, 5pin, 7pin NEMA base + photocell): can realize the function of automatic shutdown of lamps during the day and automatic lighting at night;
2. Street lamps with motion sensor functions, generally use 0-10V drivers ( What's the 0-10V dimming of LED driver? ), with special motion sensors, can realize that when people come or vehicles pass, the lamps light up, and after people leave, the lamps automatically turn off within a certain period;
3. Another is street lamps with Zigbee or LoRa systems, which can detect the status of street lamps in real time, set street lamp brightness, fault reminder, and perform other functions.
ZC Lighting LED street light solutions
ZC Lighting has engaged in the production and sales of LED lamps and lanterns for more than 10 years, we have always been from the customer's point of view to analyze and think, whether it is the appearance of the lamps and lanterns innovation, LED driver diversification, LED chips brand and luminaire efficiency selection, as well as street lamp intelligent function we have been constantly developing, to ensure the quality of the product at the same time, the price of street lamps optimization of the product.
Our street lighting solutions have also helped customers successfully obtain a lot of projects, with lamp controllers, motion sensors, with intelligent control of street lamps we have a mature program, and we also continue to innovate, for customers to achieve more intelligent urban solutions ( ZC Lighting smart lighting solution ) and efforts, as long as you have the demand for street lamps, tell us the requirements, we will be the first time to give you the most appropriate program.
Summary
This article is just a simple introduction to the composition of street light prices. Users, often focus on different aspects, some are more concerned about the appearance, and some are more concerned about the internal configuration of the product, and light efficiency ( What's luminaire efficacy and how to improve it? ). We as a producer, understand the importance of each component of the street light products ( View the case study of LED street light head ), so we are in the choice of street lamps is based on the actual needs of customers, not simply looking at the price of the product. I hope that this article for your choice of street lamps can help, in the focus on the price of street lamps and lanterns at the same time, but also pay more attention to the configuration of the lamps and lanterns composition. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask us.
