Street lighting is important for driving at night and is a factor that increases the safety on streets. Additional lights mean the higher is the requirement of energy to power them up. The power bills for local authorities can then go up dramatically.
LED streetlights are a technological advance which has helped to reduce power consumptions dramatically. The savings in power consumption can be higher than 60 percent. They also have very long life and this has led to a reduction in costs of maintenance. The streetlights that use LED bulbs have a lens on the panel, which gives the lighting a well-defined regular pattern that does not produce any glare. This quality makes these light much safer for use as drivers are never inconvenienced. Most cities in the world are switching to this type of lighting because of the many advantages that it has.
