LED street lamp heads are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and therefore are being vigorously promoted in today’s energy-saving and emission-reduction efforts. They also feature high luminous efficiency, long service life, and excellent lighting performance. Outdoor LED street lamp heads have largely replaced traditional high-pressure sodium lamps, with a penetration rate expected to exceed 80% in the next two years. However, the key components of LED street lamp heads lie in their accessories. So, what are these accessories? And what are their respective functions? Let us explain.
Yangzhou Tianxiang Road Lamp Equipment Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise integrating the design, control, R&D, production, sales, and service of outdoor light source products. Focusing on LED urban lighting, the company has assembled a team of outstanding technical experts and boasts strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities for high-end LED lighting products and smart street light control systems. The company is committed to providing stable and reliable LED lighting products to customers worldwide.
1. What are the accessories for LED street lamp heads?
LED street lamp head accessories consist of the LED lamp, pole arm, base cage, and wiring. The LED lamp also includes the LED street lamp head driver, heat sink, LED lamp beads, and other accessories.
2. What are the functions of each accessory?
LED street lamp head Driver: LED street lamp heads are low-voltage, high-current drivers. Their luminous intensity is determined by the current flowing through the LEDs. Excessive current can cause LED degradation, while too little current can reduce the LED’s luminous intensity. Therefore, the LED driver must provide a constant current to ensure safe operation and achieve the desired luminous intensity.
Heat sink: LED chips generate a lot of heat, so a heat sink is needed to dissipate the heat from the LED lamp and maintain the light source’s stability.
LED lamp beads: These provide light.
Base cage: These are used to connect to and erect the light pole, securing the pole.
Pole arm: These connect to the light pole to secure the LED lamp.
Wire: These connect the LED lamp to the buried cable and provide power to the LED lamp.
Each component in an LED street lamp head has its own function and is essential. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure the lamp’s optimal practicality and longevity.
How to choose a good LED street lamp head?
1. Consider the LED street lamp head chip.
Different LED chips can produce different lighting effects and luminous efficacy. For example, a standard chip has a lumen output of around 110 lm/W, while a well-known brand Philips LED chip can produce up to 150 lm/W. Clearly, using a well-known brand LED chip will definitely produce better lighting.
2. Consider the power supply brand.
The LED street lamp head power supply directly affects the stability of the LED street lamp head. Therefore, when choosing an LED street lamp head power supply, it is best to choose a well-known brand like Mean Well.
3. Consider the radiator brand.
The LED street lamp head radiator directly affects its lifespan. Using a radiator produced by a small workshop will significantly shorten the lifespan of the LED street lamp head.
