Urban LED Streetlights: Osram and Lumileds Chip with Programmable Driver for Efficient Public Lighting

Urban LED streetlights light streets, avenues and industrial estates in urban environments with high energy efficiency and a long service life. This range combines Osram and Lumileds chips with a programmable driver and covers 40W to 150W so that each road gets the power it needs in public lighting.

Why the programmable driver is the most strategic component of an LED streetlight

The LED streetlight with programmable driver adjusts the power according to the time of night, and that adjustment decides how much is paid for electricity. The programmable driver night reduction lowers the output when almost nobody passes by, while the chip keeps giving enough light to move around safely.

For a council, automatic night reduction is the strongest economic argument for urban LED streetlights, because it works many hours every night. The 150W Philips programmable driver LED streetlight supports several time slots, and each slot adjusts the light without touching the column.

Automatic night reduction and real savings on the municipal bill

The saving depends on the operating hours and the chosen profile, so each project is calculated with its own data. An LED streetlight for a municipality saves energy in the hours of low traffic. Light pollution control also improves, because it helps to reduce light pollution by emitting less light when it is not needed.

Available powers and recommendation by road type

The right power for urban LED streetlights depends on the road type and its width.

40W for residential areas 100W for main roads 150W for avenues and industrial estates

The 40W urban LED streetlight suits an LED streetlight for a residential street, where traffic is slow and the columns are close together. The 60W public road LED streetlight serves as an intermediate step when 40W falls short.

For an LED streetlight for a main road the usual choice is 100W, and the 100W Osram chip LED streetlight is one of the most requested references. On avenues and for an LED streetlight for an industrial estate, 150W is used, which lights wide carriageways, manoeuvring areas and open spaces.

Quality chips and real efficiency

In urban LED streetlights the chip sets how much light each watt gives, and the lumens per watt of a streetlight make it possible to compare models without relying on the manufacturer's name.

The 240lm/W urban LED streetlight with Philips driver marks the highest level of the range, and the 160 lm/W references cover most projects.

Osram Lumileds and Philips in the most requested references

With a Philips Lumileds Osram chip, the installer chooses among light sources of a recognised brand without giving up dimming. The Lumileds chip LED streetlight is offered in a grey finish, and the grey aluminium LED streetlight withstands continuous exposure well. The steel aluminium LED streetlight combines impact resistance with a moderate weight.

The IP66 outdoor LED streetlight withstands rain, dust, wind and a wide temperature range, and IP66 weather resistance allows it to stay in the street for years. The 4000K road colour temperature gives a neutral white light that improves visual comfort and the sight of obstacles and pedestrians at night.

The streetlight LED service life in hours is counted in tens of thousands, so maintenance costs fall compared with discharge lamps. CE road certification accompanies urban LED streetlights and confirms that they meet the outdoor lighting regulations.

The adaptable column support makes it possible to replace an old streetlight without changing the column, which lowers the cost of the work in councils with a limited budget. The amount for the lighting system depends on the power and the volume, and an LED streetlight price for a municipal project is calculated with the number of light points.

Frequently asked questions about urban LED streetlights

What power of LED streetlight do I need for a residential street?

For a narrow residential street 40W is enough, and with more traffic or columns spaced further apart it is better to go up to 60W.

What is the programmable driver and how much does it save in public lighting?

It is the component that adjusts the power of the streetlight by time slots. The saving depends on the hours of reduction and the chosen profile, which is why it is calculated with the data of each project.

Do LED streetlights withstand rain, frost and wind with IP66?

Yes, IP66 protection prevents dust from entering and withstands powerful water jets.

Can I replace sodium vapour streetlights without changing the column?

Yes, in most cases the existing column is reused and only the LED luminaire is changed.

What colour temperature is most recommended for urban lighting?

In road lighting 4000K is often used, a neutral light that helps to distinguish obstacles.

How many years does a quality LED streetlight last in continuous use?

Service life is measured in tens of thousands of hours, which equals many years of night-time use.
