Which is Better - LED Streetlight or Floodlight? 🤔
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- Understanding how a street light works can reduce the cost of an outdoor lighting installation. The clever optical system can reduce the number of lights, mounting columns, give better lighting with lower glare and light pollution.
We show the differences using the Magnaled led streetlight from Ansell Lighting.

This video was made to turn lunch in to a tax deductible business expense, epic job
😂😂😂 yeah we had to wait until night appeared also 🍺
@@efixx You missed a trick you could have used an egg to indicate the bulb for your butter light pattern, I haven’t worked out how to work bacon in to this yet though
Everything is a business expense 😉
Good one. I learnt wht i was looking for. Thank you.
I would love a brief explainer video on different light fittings and their beam angle. Or a whole explainer on beam angles
Try here training.efixx.co.uk/course/an-introduction-to-lighting-design-in-association-with-robus-lighting?previouspage=home&isenrolled=no#/home
Moldy bread and butter! You thought I wasn't paying attention
What did I learn from this video...... I learnt that when you spread light holes appear in the road surface lol!
Love the fake rain with the clearly completely dry ground in the background 😉😂
Fake rain 🌧 wow we’ve taken this to a new level 😂
All the rain that falls there doesn't fall here :$ :$. Best regards from the other side of the pond (NL).
Hi I want to install light for security purpose in front of my main gate of factory, so flood light or Street light and how many watts?
And here is me thinking you was going to toast it with the heat off the light. I have a bright street light out side my house that lights up the bedroom. Had to buy black out blind.
Ask the council they’ll add a shield if it’s a new install.
@@efixx spoke to them it been there long time I used the back bed room for a long time. I will ask again for shielding or I doit my self but will end up being charged with tampering.
Can I ask I did a emergency job on a CU just to get the power on as the neutral bus bar was burned and the wiring as it was loos I has to move every thing over and use the RCD as main switch and strap the live Bus bars to each other. This was just a emergency power job. Now the owner will not let me put it right I did feel it was safe for a short time but as a RCDs can lock up if over loaded or heat you. Should I report this some were as he will not let me change it and put this right.
@@alunroberts1439 send a letter to cover yourself.
They are good.
Is that , permitted as a floodlight in my garage driveway ..
if it's a long straight driveway it's ideal!
I may be wrong but i remember from college that street lights was ment to be orange for colour rendering purposes and its low reflective light. Is this true or my imagination? I certainly notice a diffrence on a foggy night.
Orange was because sodium lamps were the most efficient before LED. The eyes perform better with white light and it’s easier to identify hazards.
It was kind of the opposite...the sodium lighting was orange but had poor colour rendering which was deemed not important for street lighting as having more light output per watt was more important than its colour rendering ability
@@efixx Just because the eyes perform better with white light does not dismiss the fact that LED lighting above 2700K color temperature is harmful to humans with the blue hues present in the spectrum, which disrupt melatonin production. The AMA released a position statement initially for any LED lighting not to exceed 3000K, but recently said it should be 2700K or less.
Furthermore, cool white LEDs at 4-5000K are very disruptive to nocturnal wildlife and their migration patterns. The most suitable for residential is PC Amber LED 1700K and 590nm spectrum LEDs for proximity to sensitive wildlife habitat areas.
@@jenscristian4804 what about the LED headlights used in cars? Or the screen on mobile devices? They are all at the cooler end of things and shine directly in to your eyes 👀
@@jenscristian4804 LED lights have filters in to prevent UV light output.
All that R&D in the optics wasted because the council site the head on a taller post and then forget to trim the surrounding trees periodically 😢
It always annoys me when I see floodlights fitted on top of columns in car parks . Just use the proper heads .
😡 👍
So if a seagull or gull as should call them goes toilet on the LDR sensor it will need cleaning.
They usually prefer to perch on the street lights and use them for aiming purposes to hit my car 🚙
No bacon? Or red sauce?
Only on Fridays 😂
Doorstep sandwiches then.
Yum 🤤 🥪
Simply put, different light distribution curves correspond to different applications, just like their names. :)
