LED street lights and LED tunnel lights save more than 400 million electricity a year for Guangzhou-Shenzhen Highway

By the introduction of energy-saving LED street lights and LED tunnel lights on the GS highway (Guangzhou-Shenzhen Highway) last year, the monthly savings is nearly 40 million kWh of electricity，it is expected to save over 400 million electricity annually.

 

The total length of Guangzhou-Shenzhen Highway is 122.8 km, across Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, 6,280 LED road lights including LED street lights and LED tunnel lights have been installed, implementing street lighting across the board, which is the first and longest highway retrofitted with LED lights in China, is also the first road reconstruction project using 10 Energy management mode and the first highway which full use of LED intelligent control system.

Before being transformed，The highway had used  the traditional magnetic ballast 250W high pressure sodium lamp，the average lighting time was 11 hours or so per day, the annual electricity consumption was about 8 million degrees. Along with we increasingly focus on environmentally conscious, the huge electricity consumption problems caused by street lighting have become increasingly prominent.

GS electromechanical department said that the street lights on highway had been replaced with 100W energy-saving LED street lamps and LED tunnel lights, while using remote intelligent monitoring system. With respect to the sodium lighting systems，the average illuminance of LED street lighting had improve by more than doubled, while the saving rate is over 60%.

The travelers who are used to driving on Guangzhou and Shenzhen Highway , “said former lights are dim, since the GS highway adopted the LED street lights and LED tunnel lights, we have felt brighter, we feel better than before when driving at night, even more comfortable.”

The responsible person of Guangdong Communication Group said, the high-speed LED street reconstruction contract energy management introduced LED high-tech enterprise，which invested the energy-saving equipment including LED street lights and LED tunnel lights to conduct a joint energy-saving, allowing companies to recover the cost from the savings in electricity and profitability.Browsing http://www.lead-lighting.com/products/bid32-1.htm for more information about LED tunnel lights.
