LED Street Lights for Public Lighting: Real Efficiency on Streets, Roads and Residential Developments
LED street lights are the technical and economic option for upgrading public lighting in municipalities, residential developments and high-traffic roads. This catalogue brings together lighting solutions with programmable driver, Philips Lumileds and Osram chip, and efficiencies of up to 240 lm/W. As the leading online store in luminaire distribution, we have experts at your service to guide every street lighting project.
Why upgrade public lighting with LED
Energy savings in municipalities and residential developments
A 60W LED street light for public roads delivers the equivalent luminous flux of a 150W sodium lamp with significantly lower energy consumption. The luminous efficacy of current models exceeds 150 lm/W in the standard range. The highest-performance units reach the 240lm/W high-efficiency LED street light.
In public tenders, the lumens per watt figure for the street light is the technical criterion that determines the score. The energy efficiency of these units places them among the European leaders in road lighting.
Reduced maintenance and longer service life
The service life of LED lighting exceeds 50,000 hours compared to 15,000–20,000 hours for sodium light sources. The high quality of the components sustains this lifespan in outdoor installations, reducing interventions and maintenance costs.
Types of LED street lights for public roads
Street lights from 40W to 100W for residential streets
A 60W LED street light for public roads on a 6-metre column covers carriageways of up to 8 metres. The illumination level required for class ME4 or ME5 is met without the need for higher wattages. The LED street light for municipalities features an aluminium steel housing with IP66 weather rating, suitable for outdoor installation.
Street lights from 100W to 150W for main roads
The 100W Philips driver LED street light and the 150W programmable LED street light cover avenues and access roads to industrial estates. A 100W Osram chip LED street light delivers between 15,000 and 16,000 lumens. The LED road street light meets classes ME2 and ME3 of standard UNE-EN 13201.
Autonomous solar street lights without mains electricity
The autonomous solar LED street light requires no mains electricity for rural paths or areas without a power connection. The lithium battery and integrated photovoltaic panel provide between 10 and 14 hours of autonomy with automatic nocturnal dimming.
Technology and quality components
The latest-generation LED technology incorporates the most recent advances in electronic management and precision optics. The new LED solutions in this catalogue translate into greater efficiency and lower consumption per lighting point.
Programmable driver: intelligent nocturnal savings
The programmable driver manages nocturnal dimming hour by hour, reducing power by between 30% and 70%. The dimmable programmable LED street light with DALI or 1-10V driver accepts time profiles configurable from the point of installation. The twilight photocell switches the street light on or off according to the level of natural light.
Philips Lumileds and Osram chip in road lighting
The highest-performance models incorporate the Philips Lumileds and Osram chip. Luminous flux depreciation is below 10% at 50,000 hours, a figure required in municipal tender specifications.
Light pollution control: regulations and solutions
Light pollution control is governed by Royal Decree 1890/2008 and the REBT. The Full Cut-Off globe LED street light is mandatory in E1 and E2 protection zones.
Accessories and road installation systems
Our team of experts at your service advises on the selection of the appropriate accessory. With personalised customer support, this fastest-growing retailer acts as the online leader in luminaire distribution for public roads.
Column brackets and wall-mounted arms
The column wall street light bracket encompasses the galvanised steel column for pavement installation and the wall-mounted arm for facade fixing. In accessories for LED street lights you will find clamps and compatible adapters.
Adapters and optical modules for retrofit
Adapters mount a modern LED luminaire onto an existing column without civil works, reducing the LED street light project cost. The LED street light with E27 or D4S screw photocell is compatible with the most widely used sockets in the Spanish public lighting stock. See lamps and modules for LED street lights.
Frequently asked questions about LED street lights for public roads
What wattage LED street light do I need for an urban street?
Streets of 6–8 metres work well with 40W to 60W. Higher-traffic roads or widths exceeding 10 metres require 80W to 100W. The calculation according to standard UNE-EN 13201 defines the exact value.
What is a programmable driver in LED street lights?
The programmable driver regulates power hour by hour, lowering the luminous flux during nocturnal periods without switching off the luminaire. It accepts fixed profiles or remote control via DALI or centralised telemanagement.
Do LED street lights comply with light pollution regulations?
Full Cut-Off models comply with Royal Decree 1890/2008 for E1 and E2 zones. The Full Cut-Off globe LED street light with optics directed at the carriageway is the specific solution. Each product must include a photometric curve in LDT or IES format.
Can sodium vapour street lights be replaced with LED without changing the column?
Yes. Retrofit adapters mount the new LED luminaire onto the existing galvanised steel column without civil works. It is only necessary to verify the structural condition of the column.
What is the difference between a 40W and a 100W street light in real illumination?
A 40W street light delivers 6,000 lumens. A 100W one delivers 15,000 lumens, covers wider carriageways and allows greater spacing between lighting points.
Do solar LED street lights work in areas with few sunny days?
The autonomous solar LED street light with lithium battery maintains autonomy with three or four days without direct sunlight. In areas with very overcast winters, it is recommended to calculate using the irradiation of the least favourable month.
