Streetlights

Street lighting primarily serves the safety of road users. Dangerous spots and obstacles are detected in good time with qualitative illumination of roads and cycle paths, thus noticeably reducing accidents in the dark. The European standard DIN EN 13201 defines the product characteristics for street lighting. The higher the safety risk, the higher the quality requirements for street lighting.

Traffic volume, collision risk of road users of different speeds (motor vehicles, cyclists, pedestrian traffic, etc.) determine the criteria of the quality characteristics of street lighting.

DIN EN 13201 in brief

The standardized lighting standard for street lighting applies in 28 European countries and describes uniform minimum requirements for the illumination of various road conditions. DIN EN 13201 is divided into four parts: 

• Part 1: Selection of lighting classes (determination of the lighting situation based on the traffic and other characteristics of the road). 
• Part 2: Goods characteristics (luminance, illuminance, uniformity of illuminance, glare limitation and color rendering) 
• Part 3: Calculation of product characteristics 
• Part 4: Methods for measuring the product characteristics of street lighting systems

The first part, DIN EN 13201-1, is a purely national standard that is only valid in Germany.
With the help of tables, traffic areas are first categorized and evaluated according to important parameters such as the permissible speed, the composition and volume of road users or the ambient brightness. In this way, street lighting that is perfectly adapted to the conditions can be determined. 

Tip: With the help of control systems, streetlights can be adapted even more flexibly to traffic-related or weather-related conditions.

LED streetlights

Modern streetlights with LED technology are suitable not only because of their high energy efficiency. Excellent light values and the long-lasting function of LED streetlights increase safety and reduce (costly) maintenance and repair work.
In addition, LED luminaires offer a certain flexibility in terms of light colors and brightness, so that street lighting can be individually controlled according to the season, weather and traffic volume. This provides additional cost savings. Area-wide illumination of streets, cycle paths, pedestrian paths or parking lots without dangerous dark corners is always ensured.
Last but not least, streetlights with efficient LED technology make a positive contribution to climate and environmental protection.

LEDVANCE STREETLIGHTS

In our assortment you will find different versions of the STREETLIGHT FLEX or ECO AREA series by LEDVANCE. The models are suitable for applications with a luminous flux requirement of up to 24,000lm (SMALL: up to 5,000lm; MEDIUM: up to 11,000lm; LARGE: up to 24,000lm).
