Insights from LEDinside:
The development of LED ambient light and LED street lighting is a new challenge for the LED lighting industry, one which could not be achieved by conventional lighting. These LED products require the support from government policies – departments including tourism, district security, and other administrative offices, play a key role in the promotion of these products.
For LED ambient light and LED street lights, product lifetime is more crucial than its luminous efficacy. As for the color, white LED lights, and blue LED lights in particular, are said to psychologically inhibit the motivation of committing crime. That said, while white LEDs provide illumination, it is not as bright as the general-purpose LED street lights.
This dual-color LED lighting design, complete with a security camera system, will gradually roll out in the market.
