What is hanging street lamp?

While we're used to seeing electric poles or signal poles, many European towns use a hanging style for street and signal lighting. The bulb is held in place by a tangle of wires (approximately five in all, one of which conducts power) attached to neighboring structures. Electric poles do not need to be erected along the roadside, which saves a lot of road space. It also eliminates the possibility of a drunk motorist crashing into a light post.

What is color temperature?

Color temperature is a way to describe the light appearance provided by a light bulb (lamp). It is measured in degrees of Kelvin (K) on a scale from 1,000 to 10,000. Typically, commercial and residential lighting application Kelvin temperatures fall somewhere on a scale from 2000K to 6500K. In York County, the LED lights to be installed will be in the 3000K range. The 3000K color temperature is more “warm/yellow” than the traditional 4000k LED color temperature, and is intended to be similar to the color temperature of the existing HPS roadway light .

LEDs , or light-emitting diodes, use solid-state technology to convert electricity into light. Put simply, LEDs are very small light bulbs that fit into an electrical circuit. Unlike traditional bulbs, they don’t have a filament that burns out and they don’t get very warm.
