Given the need countrywide for more energy efficient and affordable street lighting systems it is no surprise that we are now seeing the emergence of new technologies in induction lamp systems popping up on our streets. They promise to offer lower power consumption and can easily be powered through solar or wind energy generation techniques and as a result the operational expenses associated with their use are relatively low. This is one thing city administrators and managers are very interested in seeing given many cities budgetary short falls. However, these systems are only as good as their weakest link and in this case it is the LED's themselves that make these systems second rate.
Nearly all led underwater lights assemblies used in the United States today have been in one respect or another manufactured in China which to date has proven through numerous quality issues on various products that these are no better. This technology has been plagued with quality issues including poor power board quality failure rates as well as only being capable of producing suitable light for a maximum of 50000 hours. Their use in traffic signal lights has resulted in failures in operational control of traffic at intersections in snow predisposed areas of the US owing to lack of heat to prevent snow buildup in their fixtures. The standard work around for this problem was to install resistance based heating circuits to keep the fixtures above freezing temperatures in order to melt away any snow that might otherwise blind the fixtures lighting from oncoming drivers.
Considering these most basic issues it becomes easy to see why these systems should clearly not be used in mission critical applications. The short term energy savings are giving way to frequent replacement costs and warranty issues which ultimately will be the death of these systems which would be far better used for minor outdoor property lighting of homes or lots. At least in this case their failure would not probably cause or contribute to any traffic accidents that could potentially cost someone their very life. There is new lighting system which is certain to rise above that of the led spotlights and offers far greater energy savings as well as greatly extended operational and warranty life. Induction lighting systems which are manufactured right here in the good old US of A have come to the forefront in every aspect and they have done so without any of the serious quality issues suffered by that of the LED.
These lighting systems in all of their applicable devices offer 60% energy savings over that of conventional lighting systems. Furthermore, these same systems come in a wide range of application models that can be used for everything from parking structures and walkway lighting to that of the mission critical street lighting systems. Their operational life also by far surpasses that of the LED with it's 100000 hours of operational functionality which is also supported by their manufacture guarantee and 10 year warranties. These systems can be powered either through solar or wind and can do so either as a stand alone system or when grid-tie utilizing SmartGrid technology. At a time when energy conservation, efficiencies and costs could not possibly be any more important for every city around the world these systems offer the very best possible solutions to solve many issues where lighting is an absolute must.
