LUMINAIRES

The number of street lights in the world now exceeds 300 million, and continues to increase. Most of them are still pending conversion to LED technology, despite the very clear technical and economic advantages.

The official requirements differ from one country to another, but the general principles of good road lighting are the same throughout the world: a good quality light that guarantees good visibility and road safety. Be it a small pedestrian street, a highway with many lanes, a crosswalk or a tunnel, the right lighting can be achieved in many ways.

Road lighting undoubtedly provides a simple and economical alternative, to greatly counteract the consequent and dangerous traffic accidents. This is an effective safety method for all drivers, pedestrians  in urban and rural areas, since  traveling on well-lit roads creates greater confidence. It is for this reason that both neighborhood associations, as local administrations, councils, community and national level, should always keep this in mind.

Vandalism rates are especially low thanks to road lighting. The streets with low light or public spaces that do not have adequate public lighting, are mainly used by people, with antisocial behaviors that are protected and waiting to take away belongings and harm the innocent. Thus, an efficient public lighting system, with the proper installation of points of light, makes the city safer and with greater freedom for the residents of the area and all the inhabitants.

Using a street lighting design correctly you can also illuminate the emblematic monuments of the population, filling their inhabitants with pride, and therefore allowing them to admire, at all times, all these architectural properties of their city.
