Introduction

The city is constantly progressing and developing, urban and rural construction is also step by step towards a higher level of progress, urban construction at the same time can not be separated from the road construction, and street lights in the road construction is also a very important factor. On the road we have seen a variety of shapes and colors of street lamps, but also bring a different visual experience, in the choice of street lamps, street lamp appearance, lighting effect, product quality, price has been the topic of concern. Factors affecting the price of street lights generally depends on the lamp housing, LED driver, LED chips and other requirements (such as light control function, microwave function, intelligent control, etc.), the price is therefore generally 30-200 US dollars (and the power of the lamp also has a great deal to do with), according to the different countries of the economic requirements of the quality of our products while ensuring that we will choose a more favourable option. This article is mainly from the street light price and discuss with you. What points should we pay attention to when designing street lighting?

Why pay attention to the street light prices?

Why do you pay attention to the price of street lights? This may be our subconscious behaviour, just like we go to buy clothes, buy mobile phones, buy other supplies, will pay special attention to the price of the product, only in the price range we accept we will be interested to continue to check and choose, and we pay attention to the street light price may be due to the following aspects:

First of all, any project has a budget, that is, we can accept a price range, only in this range of street light prices end customers will seriously consider buying, usually in several manufacturers of products as well as quotations in all aspects of the comparison, will choose product quality is guaranteed, and the product price is also in the acceptable range of street light products ( View ZGSM street light lamp project case ).

In addition, each project has a standard ( What are the common LED lighting certification standards? ), each country may also be different, or the end customer based on the original product specified in a bidding standard, some for the function of the street lamp, some for the street lamp design ( View the city street lighting project ), in the price range, certainly want to provide as much as possible a better product, higher configuration, more features.

Main factors affecting street light prices

At the beginning of the article, we mentioned the factors that affect the street prices, which are also the composition of the street lamp price: including street light housing, LED driver, LED chips, other functions, etc. Let us explain in detail below:

Street light housing

Lamp housing is an important part of the street lamp ( Explore more ZGSM LED street light fixtures ), which can be said to directly affect the service life of the lamp. Due to the improvement of modern technology, we generally use die-cast aluminum shells. For example, our K, Rifle, and Falcon series street lamps all use die-cast aluminum materials. This generally affects the price of street lamps due to different appearance designs and requirements. In addition, depending on the design, some die-cast aluminum and some aluminum profiles may be used, such as our H series and H EVO series street lamps ( Details of H EVO modular design road lamp ). Different designs have different street light prices due to different material usage.

Power range	20-40W
Types of lamp housing	Die-casting aluminium + unadjustable fitter	Die-casting aluminium + adjustable fitter
Price of housing	Nova series is about 20USD lower than Rifle series

LED driver

LED driver is also an indispensable part of street lamp products, and it is also the key to the lighting of lamps. The quality of LED driver directly affects the service life and use effect of lamps. There are many types of drivers. According to whether there is a driver or not, they can be divided into lamps with driver and lamps without driver. According to the brand, there are many kinds. The more common and used driver brands are: Inventronics, Mean Well, Done, Sosen, Philips, etc. According to different functions, they are divided into 0-10v, 1-10V, drivers with DALI, drivers with DALI2 and D4i functions ( Find more about D4i ). According to different customer requirements, there will be solutions with corresponding LED drivers.

Price (Inventronics VS Mean well）	Inventronics is 1USD higher than Mean well
Price (Inventronics VS Done）	Inventronics is 13USD higher than Done

LED chips

The quality of the LED chips directly affects the luminous efficiency and service life of the lamp. Generally speaking, the life of the LED chips is very long (unless it is an unreasonable design). As long as there is no quality problem, we don't have to worry. Luminous efficiency refers to the photoelectric conversion efficiency of LED chips (in lm/W). The higher the luminous efficiency, the more electrical energy the LED chips can convert into light energy, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the lamp. Different types of LED chips have different luminous efficiencies, which also means that the prices are different. Generally speaking, the same brand, the price of LED chips with high luminous efficiency will be higher.

According to the type of LED chips, LED chips can be divided into 3030, 5050, 2835, 3535, 5730 and other LED chips (where 3030 represents the size of the LED chips, which is 30mm×30mm×1.5mm). According to different brands, they can be divided into: Lumileds LED chips, Philips LED chips, Bridge LED chips, Crescent LED chips, Ledestar LED chips, etc. Our company's street lamp products usually use Lumileds LED and Bridgelux LED or other LED chips. The following is a price comparison of Falcon series street lamp ( Details of Falcon series street light ) products using the same LED driver, the same power, the same function, but using different types and different efficiency LED chips:

Model	Falcon series street light

Parameters	50W, Inventronics EUM-DG LED driver
Price	Lumileds 3030 is 10USD higher than Bridgelux 3030

Other functions

Because of the different economic development of different countries and regions, different countries may have different requirements for the functions of street lights. The following are the most common ones:

1. Street lamps with photocell (generally use 1-10V drivers or no dimming driver, with 3pin, 5pin, 7pin NEMA base + photocell) ( Watch the video of the Leaf Series streetlights featuring NEMA street light controller ) : can realize the function of automatic shutdown of lamps during the day and automatic lighting at night;

2. Street lamps with motion sensor functions, generally use 0-10v drivers ( What's 0-10V dimming of LED driver? ), with special motion sensors, can realize that when people come or vehicles pass, the lamps light up, and after people leave, the lamps automatically turn off within a certain period of time;

3. Another is street lamps with Zigbee or LoRa systems, which can detect the status of street lamps in real time, set street lamp brightness, fault reminder and other functions.

The following is comparison of street light prices based on our Rifle series street lamps. All products use the same LED chips, the same LED drivers and the same power, only the functions are different.

Model		Rifle series street light

Parameters		60W, Lumileds 3030, Inventronics
Price of different functions	3 Pin NEMA + Photocell	This solution is 8USD higher than standard version
	With Motion sensor	This solution is 21USD higher than standard version
	D4i LED driver + Zhaga socket	This solution is 18USD higher than standard version

Summary

This article is just a simple introduction to the composition of the street light prices. For users, they often focus on different aspects, some are more concerned about the appearance, some are more concerned about the internal configuration of the product, light efficiency ( What's luminaire efficacy and how to improve it? ). We as a producer, more understand the importance of each component of the street light products ( View the case study of LED street light head ), so we are in the choice of street lamps are based on the actual needs of customers to choose, not simply look at the price of the product. I hope that this article for your choice of street lamps can help, in the focus on the price of street lamps and lanterns at the same time, but also pay more attention to the configuration of the lamps and lanterns composition.
