New York To Test LED Street Lamps

by David Allen on Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

The Big Apple has come a long way since those nasty days of the 1970’s and 1980’s now there are car free zones and the plastic bag tax, but one thing that could be significant is the testing of new LED street light, if this is successful then the cities thirty thousand street could be replaced by them.

 

 

These lights will cut the cities power usage by around thirty per cent; these savings would mean that the city would see a return on their investment within two to three years. Should these lights get the go ahead then is possible that other lighting could be applied to the units, such as traffic and crossing control.

  • I love the led light technology.The only problem is the price of the lamp :( in home use it will not return the investment in 2-3 years :( But it is cheaper and cheaper every day and thats great!

    Needs to be solar powered, self activated by low light conditions, and why do lights in our pedestrian dominated city only face the street? It should also illuminate the sidewalks as well. Unless this light can bleed enough light into the sidewalk. The sidewalk should be as bright as the street.

    Also in parks it should be motion activated with 360 degree coverage.
