Luxmagazine reports that, Chepstow will soon become the latest British locality to turn off street lights during the wee hours, over the protests of taxi drivers who have provided yet another reason why it’s a bad idea: They might run over hard-to-see drunks.

‘The manager of Bulwark-based M & R Taxis, Chris Whittaker said turning off lights in residential areas was “incomprehensible” and said that in the early hours of the morning it’s difficult to spot people, who may have been drinking, as they cross the road,’ the South Wales Argus reported.

Chepstow on Aug. 28 will start turning off street lights between midnight and 5 in the morning in an effort save £180,000, part of a £9 million cost reduction plan by Monmouthshire council.

The Welsh town joins many other UK areas in making such a move. But while Loughborough, Exeter, Essex, Warwickshire and others are going dark, localities like Gloustershire and the Borough of Wigan are spending money on cost-saving LED street lamps, as the great Britsh streetlighting debate rages. If the switch off does indeed save Chepstow money, then perhaps a small celebration would be in order. But the locals should be well advised not to drink to that.

Lighting can be both functional and aesthetic. The problem is that lighting is getting more and more expensive as electricity prices rise. Offices are generally lit using fluorescent tubes, and this lighting is switched on for many hours each day. Fluorescent tubes have a rated life of around 9,000hrs but often fail much earlier. This can cause real headaches for maintenance departments. Switch to LED tubes, which last much longer (>40,000hours) and consume >60% less electricity. LED tubes come in frosted or clear cover designs and are a simple retrofit for fluorescent tubes. With the use of LED technology, you can illuminate your office, shop or any commercial space.

Led Tubes

LED tubes are a safe and high quality alternative to traditional lighting. They are also instant on, and do not flicker, unlike fluorescent tubes. The lower energy consumption also means much less heat. LED tubes can be used as general lighting in production areas, offices, corridors, supermarkets and industrial settings. These tubes are durable and provide uniform illumination. As these lights are mercury-free, these are environmentally friendly products. They have a much lower carbon footprint because they consume less energy. Novel Energy Lighting sells quality LED tube brands such as Philips, Emprex, Heathfield and others, and can help you reduce your carbon footprint. LED Tube all in one fittings such as Coreline Waterproof, Coreline Batten, and Sylvania Slyproof are also available for simple IP65 retrofits.

The prototype lamp uses half the energy of equivalent lights on the market

BBC News reports that lighting company Philips has developed an LED lamp that it describes as “the world’s most energy-efficient”. It said the prototype tube lighting LED is twice as efficient as those currently used in offices and industry around the world but offers the same amount of light.

Being able to halve the amount of energy used could bring huge cost and energy savings.

Lighting accounts for more than 19% of global electricity consumption.

The prototype tube lighting produces 200 lumens per watt (200lm/W) compared with 100lm/W for equivalent strip lighting and 15lm/W for traditional light bulbs.

What is LED lighting? Light-emitting diodes have been around for years. Traditionally, they have been used as indicators on electrical devices, such as standby lights on TVs. This was because LEDs were available only in red, but recent advances mean that other colours are now available, and the light emitted is much brighter.

White light (used for general lighting) using LEDs can be created via a number of techniques. One example is mixing red, green and blue LEDs.

It is suggested that LEDs can last for up to 100,000 hours, compared with the 1,000 hours of traditional incandescent light bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps’ (CFLs) 15,000 hours.

The technology is also much more energy-efficient, using up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs. The long lifespans and low energy use make LEDs economically attractive because even though the fittings cost more, the running and maintenance bills are lower.

“This is a major breakthrough in LED lighting and will further drive the transformation of the lighting industry,” said Rene van Schooten, chief executive of light source and electronics at Philips.

“It’s exciting to imagine the massive energy and cost savings it will bring to our planet and customers,” he added. The lamps are intended to replace the fluorescent tube lighting used in offices and industry, which currently account for more than half of the world’s total lighting.

In the US, for example, such lighting consumes around 200 terawatts hours (TWh) of electricity annually. Swapping to the energy-efficient lamps could save $12bn (£7.8bn) and stop 60 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere, according to Philips.

LED light bulbs are more efficient than traditional incandescent ones because there is less energy loss through heat. However they tend to be more expensive than ordinary light bulbs.

Philips expects the light to go on the market in 2015, initially to replace office lighting. Ultimately though it is seen as a real alternative to lighting in the home. The company has not yet published prices but a spokesperson told the BBC that the cost would not be significantly more than current LED tube lights.

The Energy Saving Trust – a UK charity which provides advice on how to cut carbon emissions – said manufacturers’ claims always had to be treated with caution, but added that if Philips could bring the product to market it would represent a major advance.

“The typical performance of LEDs we have trialled and tested before has typically been in the range of 50 to 70 lumens per watt which is significantly better than traditional lighting – so if this new Philips product can perform as claimed then it represents a huge leap forward in performance,” James Russill, the trust’s technical development manager, told the BBC.

“It is also good that this product is aimed at office environments, where lighting is often left on for 24 hours per day – the potential for reducing electricity demand is therefore very high.”

Novel Energy Lighting sells a range of Philips LED tubes in various colour temperatures, wattages, and lengths. The latest mode in the range MasterLED Tube Value InstantFit is destined to become an instant hit, since it allows users to retrofit into existing fluorescent fittings – electromagnetic or electronic – with no wiring changes required. This makes for a very quick and cost effective swap out, so the energy savings can begin all the sooner.
