Now walking on the road, you can see a variety of street lamps everywhere, and the light emitted by different street lamps is also different. We know that there are many varieties of lamps now, so what kind of lamps are street lamps? Road lamps can be divided into different types according to factors such as street lamp height, pole material, street lamp light source, and shape. Generally speaking, traditional street lamps use high-pressure sodium lamps, while street lamps use metal halide lamps and LED lamps. What is the difference between street lamps and landscape lamps? Let's find out together!
What are the types of road lamps?
1. According to the height of street lamps: high pole street lamps, medium pole lamps, road lamps, garden lamps, and lawn lamps.
2. According to the material of street lamp poles: hot-dip galvanized iron street lamps, hot-dip galvanized steel street lamps and stainless steel street lamps.
3. According to the street lamp light source: sodium lamp, LED street lamp, energy-saving street lamp, new xenon street lamp.
4. According to the shape: Chinese lamp, antique lamp, landscape lamp, single-arm street lamp, double-arm street lamp.
5. According to the power supply method, it is divided into municipal circuit lights, solar street lights, and wind-solar complementary street lights.
There are many types of road lamps, and different lighting technologies are suitable for different needs. The fundamental purpose is to design a long-life, low-power, high-power factor, and low-current harmonic content high-efficiency electronic energy-saving street lamp.
What is good for street lamps?
Street lighting typically uses high-pressure sodium lamps, and metal halide lamps are also a common street light source.
From the perspective of lighting professionals, incandescent lamps have the best color rendering, but the luminous flux is low and the luminous efficiency is poor. Its luminous principle is thermal radiation emission; mercury vapor lamps, like common fluorescent lamps, are fluorescent lamps. The luminous principle relies on gas ionization to excite phosphors to emit light. Its color rendering is low, but the luminous flux and luminous efficiency are much better than incandescent lamps. Neon lamps have few other benefits besides being good-looking, and the illumination they can provide is extremely low. They cannot be used as special lighting lamps. Metal halide lamps have good performance in all aspects, especially their power can be made very large and have a longer lifespan than other lamps. LED lamps are energy-efficient and
Environmental protection, but there are certain technical flaws. Therefore, in general, it is more appropriate to use metal halide lamps or LED street lamps for street lamps.
What is the difference between street lamps and landscape lamps?
1. Different heights
The difference between street lamps and landscape lamps is mainly reflected in the height. The conventional height of street lamps is 6-12 meters, and some street lamps have a conventional height of 6-20 meters. But the general height of landscape lamps is 3-6 meters, because landscape lamps are ornamental and do not need to be too high. The higher the material required, the more expensive the cost will be.
2. Different lighting effects
Since street lamps need to provide sufficient illumination, their lighting power is generally relatively large, generally within the range of 250-400W. The specific power is considered according to factors such as the width of the road, the height of the surrounding tree poles, and whether it affects the surrounding residents.
The lighting power of a landscape lamp is relatively small, typically between 80 and 150W, but it may also be smaller. This is because the landscape lamp has a basic lighting function. Its greatest function is to provide a strong viewing experience. Its light source power can reflect the overall shape of the lamp without being too bright.
3. Street lamps are generally used in urban or rural main roads, secondary roads, city squares, residential areas, and other places, and the lighting demand is generally relatively large. Landscape lamps are generally installed in independent areas, such as parks, gardens, high-end residential areas, commercial pedestrian streets, and leisure squares. Landscape lamps are also used in many tourist attractions.
4. Different functions
The main function of street lights is to illuminate, to be able to provide better lighting brightness to pedestrians and vehicles. But landscape lights only need basic lighting, and they are mainly ornamental, used to decorate the surrounding environment and create atmosphere.
The shapes of street lamps are not so diverse, generally only a few. But the shapes of landscape lamps are very, very random and unrestricted. It can be customized according to the surrounding environment and special reasons.
