LED-based streetlight offers illuminating results

The four-month-long test series aims to gather experience with and information on seven LED streetlights of six different suppliers.

All seven streetlights have been installed in topographically different environments and are fulfilling different tasks, ranging from lighting park walkways and bicycle paths to bright shopping streets or dark residential avenues.

The selected streets and tracks are all located close to the city centre in frequently visited tourist areas.

The street lights will remain in operation for the foreseeable future.

Everlight (via distributor MSC-Vertriebs-CZ) has been assigned two streets, located in residential areas characterised by only few additional light sources such as a bright shop-window light.

The result of previous analysis was that Everlight's 120W and 90W SL-Dolphin Phoenix streetlights proved best in series for these conditions.

Another demanding condition was that the five streetlight poles were installed on only one side of the road with 35-40m between each pole.

In spite of these obstacles, the SL-Dolphin achieved good lighting values in the first evaluation round.

The SL-Dolphin not only provided uniform illumination across the entire street width, but also illuminated the opposite sidewalk according to current standards.
