Today, providing quality lighting is first and foremost the safety of people and vehicles on the roads. The experience of implementing various projects to provide lighting for streets and highways of the city allows us to say with confidence that the issue of providing quality lighting cannot be solved by simply replacing obsolete inefficient lighting with new ones.
Replacement of lighting in settlements cannot be performed without prior design. Luminaires used in lighting installations must meet the requirements of current standards, regulations on lighting of roads and streets, as well as environmental conditions.
In addition, the design made at the stage of making a decision on the purchase of lighting fixtures allows to reduce electricity costs in the future. The choice of luminaires should not be based solely on the nominal power consumption without taking into account the lighting characteristics.
The correct choice of the lighting device allows to reduce the consumed power of installation from 125 to 100 W (95,8 kW / h).
The problem of lighting should be treated as a comprehensive solution, be more demanding on the quality of projects and the products themselves, take into account the long-term cost, ownership of the lighting system and trust companies that have experience in implementing complex projects.
