Our local council have been installing LED streetlights in certain areas. I think they are very effective - has anyone else seen them and what is your opinion ?
Would these be the lights where they replace the column as well, even if the old columns are only a few years old? Similar projects going on in Dorset and Hampshire.
SOX lamps can produce 180 lumens / watt at 589 nm (close to the human eye peak sensitivity of 555 nm) - making them one of the most efficient light sources available in terms of energy.
SON produce around 150 lumens / watt
SOX used to be the first choice for street lights - however, their colour rendering is poor.

One thing I always wondered, especially in councils that are now choosing to leave streetlighting off, why not remove every second bulb instead? halve the requirements at no cost to the council, with only a minor reduction in available light.
