Why your Private Street is Missing out on using LED Lights

Did you know there are almost 40,000 private streets that aren’t maintained by public funding? This means there are many areas that are not benefiting from efficient lighting. Whether you manage a private gated community, or own one of these private areas, you need to consider your lighting options. Lighting helps with issues such as security and improved visibility.

Longer life span

Many people are used to the yellow glow of old streetlights and remember how often a light bulb blows. This could go a long time without being replaced. LED streetlights offer not only a clean, white light, they also offer a longer lifespan. This means less maintenance and less worry about having to replace the bulbs. With a predicted lifespan of up to 15 years, you really don’t need to worry for a long time.

Cleaner energy

LED lighting is the answer to clean, energy efficient lighting. Many counties are opting to install LED lighting in many warehouses, factories and streets due to the lower energy consumption.

Traditional street lighting also produces heat, which is a huge waste of energy. LED lights produce little to no heat which means all power is focused on creating light. Where there is any heat created, design features on the LED light ensures any excess heat is dealt with efficiently.

Huge savings

Many councils in the UK are opting to replace street lighting with LED lights. Whilst this involves a large upfront cost it also saves up to 50 to 90% on your electric bills. If you’ve been put off installing lighting in the past due to cost, LED street lighting will be the perfect solution.

Easy on the eyes

Compared to the traditional sodium-vapour lights favoured by many councils and companies, LED lights offer a more natural light. At night time this means you can see colours and details more easily. This is especially crucial if your lane or private street is uneven, it’ll be easier for people to find their way through safely.

LED street lighting has the unusual added benefit of attracting less insects due to the lower concentration of UV light emitted.

Sense of security

Installing lighting is a basic and cheap way to help with security. Motion activated lighting can help people feel safer as they walk down your private road to towards your gated areas.

Lighting your private street doesn’t need to be a complicated task. LED street lighting brings many advantages and offers you a great peace of mind when it comes to people using your private street.
