LEDLighting.co.uk Comment on Installation of LED Street Lights in Buenos Aires

Oct. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- It has been reported by Treehugger in the article ‘Buenos Aires is Switching around 100,000 Street Lamps to LED Technology, Cutting Energy Use by 50%’ published on October 25, that Buenos Aires is replacing the majority of its 125,000 street lights with LED street lights. With Buenos Aires being the second largest city in South America and home to approximately 13 million people, the LED street lights will reportedly reduce energy consumption by 50%, reduce carbon emissions and reduce maintenance costs.

Treehugger reports that it is estimated that if cities around the world installed LED street lights instead of traditional street lights, $180 billion could be saved in energy costs, as well as stopping 670 million tonnes of CO2 being released into the atmosphere over the course of a year.

As experts in LED lighting providing a variety of LED lighting products at http://www.ledlighting.co.uk/ LEDLighting.co.uk closely follow industry news and were interested in this recent story. A spokesperson for the company offered their thoughts on the installation of LED street lights in Buenos Aires and spoke of the benefits of these lights:

“It is welcome news that Buenos Aires has joined an increasing number of cities around the world which have decided to install LED street lights. As well as helping to reduce energy consumption, LED street lights can help to reduce maintenance costs, minimise pollution and help create a safe environment for residents when compared to traditional street lights.

The bright, clear and high quality light of LED street lights makes them ideal for use in street lights. The clear light can help improve security, with the light helping to improve facial recognition and perception of colours, which can help to reduce crime rates. The improved quality of light can also help to enhance the quality of CCTV images which are installed in the area.

Additionally, as LED bulbs emit a concentrated beam of light, these street lights can ensure that the light is focussed on a particular area, instead of the light escaping into the surrounding area, helping to create a safe environment for residents. We look forward to seeing more cities around the world install LED street lights.”
