Britain's biggest city of London will be the country's largest LED streetlight deployment scenarios to complete the 2016 target of 40% energy savings. Transport for London (TFL) Office of the Mayor of London has announced that it will cooperate a LED street reconstruction project, including upgrading of 35,000 street lights and install a network adaptive control system to monitor and control the lights. In addition, the Northeast Kingdom Lincolnshire also open a street light project, including solid-state lighting (SSL) 16,500 streetlights.
TfL engineers to measure the level of LED street lighting
London street light project will support the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, the specified target: 60% reduction by 2025 carbon emissions targets, Johnson said: "In our capital's main roads to install modern streetlights, will not only reduce carbon emissions and Maximize savings capital investment, it will also give London a better and safer roads. "According to Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) shows that TfL has a total of 52,000 street lights, the plan is expected in Over decades, the ultimate goal is to upgrade all the lights, but the first phase will focus on the 35,000 street lights, completed in 2016. This phase is expected to reduce carbon emissions from 9700 tonnes per year, and save £ 1.85 million (approximately $ 3,000,000) - a savings of 40%. The initial phase of the £ 10.9 million cost will be recovered within a few years.
In addition, the two money savings, including reduced maintenance costs and the lighting control network established TfL called Central Management System (CMS) will maximize energy savings and efficiency; CMS level can be set depending on the traffic lights luminance level and automatically detect the required maintenance. TfL said the CMS provided by Harvard School of Engineering, is the largest ever single investment in the history of street lighting in London. The value of adaptive control has been demonstrated in other trials in the UK SSL, such as two years ago, Transport for London Thames Street tunnel installed LED lighting.(source:China's Optical Network)
