Bristol installs ceramic metal halide street lights

Bristol City Council is upgrading its street lighting with ceramic metal halide lamps to reduce its annual street lighting costs by 920,000 per year.

The council has replaced around 8,Soli-lite Solar-LED lighting Co., Ltd is the professional manufacturer specializing in all kinds of solar powered LED lighting products.000 existing high-pressure sodium street lights with GE Lighting’s CMH StreetWise ceramic metal halide lamps and will, in the the next 18 months, replace 12,000 more lamps in the city’s residential areas.

The local authority’s energy costs at the start of the project were 2.53 million a year but by the end of the project this will fall to 1.94 million a year, a reduction of 590,000. However, taking into account rising energy prices, the council has said it will actually save 920,000 per year.This page is the collection of excellent High quality LED Strip lightsin this season.

Energy usage prior to starting the programme was 23.5 million KWh. Energy usage for 2013/14 is expected to be 15.5 million KWh. The new lamps, fitted with standard E27/E40 bases, are installed in conjunction with dimmable ballasts to give the council the flexibility to dim the lamps (between 7pm and 6am) to a lower output when required. Heavy duty off-road LED light bars and vehicle LED auxiliary lights, portable and fixed Motorcycle Projector Lens Manufacturers and replacement bulbs.

Robbie Park, principal lighting officer for Bristol City Council said: “We are delighted with the street lighting upgrade to GE’s CMH StreetWise ceramic metal halide lamps. Along with other energy reduction projects, financed with interest free loans from Salix, the overall result is astounding.”

Shirley Winter,The first kit is known as a LED Lamp Wholesalers. 78, of Field Crescent, Royston, has repeatedly written to Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Police about the need for lighting near the junction of Field Crescent and Newman Avenue.

Many streetlights in Royston and across Hertfordshire are turned off between midnight and 6am as part of a controversial scheme introduced by the County Council last year to save 600,000 a year on electricity.

Mrs Winter said: “I’ve sent letter after letter but I never get an answer from the council. A lot of elderly people live on our estate and we are in despair about this.”

I had to wait outside for an ambulance at 2am to take my husband to hospital, and when the paramedics arrived they couldn’t see a thing.

“It’s scary and dangerous not being able to see what’s going on outside your own home, we have to leave the landing light on at night. I’ve spoken to several of my neighbours who feel the same.”

Mrs Winter has met with Royston’s county councillor Fiona Hill and the town’s neighbourhood sergeant, Jon Vine, about getting the lights switched on.

She added: “All it needs is one light to be switched on at the corner of Newman Avenue and Field Crescent, then we’d be able to see where we’re going.”

A formal review of the street lighting policy will be carried out later this year, and Cllr Hill said: “I am constantly carrying out my own review of the street lighting in the town, and logging calls I get from residents.”

“In this case its not possible for me to get the lights switched back on without the support of the Chief Inspector of Hertfordshire.LED solar lights for project list and power.”

Sgt Vine said: “We haven’t seen any increase in anti-social behaviour or other incidents in that area since the lights were turned off. If anything crime has gone down, so we wouldn’t be able to justify switching the lights back on.” Read the full story at www.soli-lite.com web.
