10 puzzles faced by outdoor Lighting designers in 2018

Outdoor lighting is one of the first few types of lighting that turned to LEDs earlier. Although the energy-saving benefits are greatly appreciated, this has caused some new challenges, which will make outdoor lighting designers always in preparation. The following will be the top 10 challenges in the new year.

Glare

This problem will not disappear. It is increasingly recognized that too many optically poorly controlled luminaires are installed when LEDs are beginning to become popular. And some low-temperature lamps in some places are also deeply disgusted by residents.

2. End of Civil Active Financing (PFI)

The era of large-scale private initiative financing LED explosion is coming to an end. But when the dust settled, authorities in some places were still wondering whether the projects were worth the money and whether the quality of the lighting was sacrificed.

3. Electric Vehicle Charging The general government believes that its street light network can provide a perfect charging solution for the upcoming electric vehicle era. However, this is not the case. Technical problems abound, especially when working at high currents. If the outdoor lighting engineer points out that these problems will not be a welcome thing, people are willing to listen to good news.

4. Connection

Free Wi-Fi connectivity and faster download rates are an important competitive aspect. Today, brick-sized 5G base stations are on the agenda, and outdoor lighting networks are the ideal placement. For example, in London, 500,000 such light poles that can be connected to the network will be installed.

5. Street lights are turned off

It is still very common for local governments to close streetlights, where diversion is a solution proposed by lighting control manufacturers, but how to get funding is a headache.

6. Blu-ray hazards The blue light content of many LED street lights has raised concerns about health damage. In June last year, the impact of the American Medical Association said that the color temperature of LED should not exceed 3000K, causing heated debates, so far.

7. Smart City

Managers want their city to be a “smart city”. Although it sounds like a good idea, but what is “smart city” and how to achieve it is still inconclusive, but there is a consensus: streetlights should be one of the smart cities. At least, there are some sensors for street lights.

8. Light pollution

The images from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are shocking and make people's long-standing doubts come true: the arrival of LED luminaires has not reduced light pollution as people had originally expected, but has made the situation worse. This issue may require legal and regulatory constraints.

9. Lack of strategy

It is difficult to plan for the next 30 years of urban lighting, which is why outdoor lighting engineers like strategy. For example, the 526-page "London Plan" involves only about 6 lighting...

10. Prepare for the future


When a new generation of luminaires will be ready for many years, how do you plan to provide a range of ancillary services such as CCTV, pollution sensors, traffic detectors and Wi-Fi in the future without spending extra budget? This is a problem
