LED Tunnel Lights

Nowadays, LED light is increasingly being used in lighting public road networks, including tunnels, instead of the conventional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting systems. LED lighting systems have proven to be the perfect tunnel lighting fixtures for underground roads today.

At LedsUniverse, we specialize in delving into peculiar projects associated with using LED lights for tunnel, and we provide solutions for various tunnel lighting requirements and challenges. In addition, we can also provide tunnel light calculation.

Recent installations in many parts of the world have proven that LED tunnel lights are the impeccable solution for tunnels and underpasses, which were once used to be known as dark and dingy passages.

At LedsUniverse, our primary job is to provide you with LED lights which has many advantages and in this article, we will be telling you some of the great features of our LED lights which support the fact that LED road tunnel lighting fixtures are a worthy investment, both in the short and long-run.

The advocacy for the use LED lightings in tunnels has hitherto been based on two major premises, namely: the quality of light and secondly, the cost of maintenance.

Solid State Lighting (SSL) Gives Quality Lighting

Over the years, the SSL technology has improved and hence, the quality of its lighting has been refined.

Our SSL technology based LED lights proffer perfect coloration compared to other alternatives for outdoor lighting like HPS (High Pressure Sodium).

The much improved light quality has proven to be invaluable to drivers and pedestrians alike. Hence, some cosmopolitan cities have decided to invest in LED lighting to enhance their transportation networks, and simultaneously making the public tunnel areas more attractive and safer to the users.

Comparisons Legacy Lighting and LED

Sources of HID light like MH (Metal Halide), HPS (High Pressure Sodium) are the powerhouses of the tunnels lighting installed.

Tunnel lighting system and solutions for tunnels and underpasses, require a high threshold level of illuminance to provide a secured environment for users. The luminaries must have the capacity to deliver high levels of lightings at a significant distance from the road’s surface.

MH and HPS luminaries give tunnel lighting systems an appealing combination of tested mechanical construction, low cost and high illuminance. Series of MH and HPS luminaries usually rate up to 400W for a fixture to meet the tunnel lighting requirements. In LedsUniverse, our 130W-140W LEDs can do the exact same job.

Life and Efficiency

The rated lifespan of a high-end LED luminaries is estimated to be 9 years. Moreover, it is highly efficient which means that the gap between the power output and power input is insignificant and this, in turn, means low lifetime cost.

Superior Lighting

Our LED has two major merits as tunnels lighting system over HID: firstly, the quality of light and secondly, the reduced effect on the rate of traffic. LED luminaries have superior lighting because it offers superior color. Our LED light, unlike the conventional HID, gives uniform lighting throughout the entire tunnel.

Developed by using sophisticated optical modeling, uniform and advance light-throw design, our LED tunnel lights lenses produce balanced and even lighting patterns in the tunnel without any distracting glare or shadowing. The LED lights are uniform because they consist of individual module chips that are aggregate miniature arrays, highly efficient sources of light with customized beam patterns – by making use of total internal reflection, the lenses on every single LED can be installed in wider or narrower beam angles as well.

Ingress and Egress Lighting

Our LED tunnel luminaries also offer refined light control in the entrance and exit regions where drivers attain normal, comfortable eye adaptation between the tunnel and the outside environment, something that the conventional HPS and MH were not meant to give.

More so, our LED light rarely fails, unlike the MH and HPS lighting systems. Consequently, different parts of the tunnel will unlikely be facing black-outs or shut off events, and less maintenance will be occurring on erected high-level platforms. This will, in turn, reduce the monotonous re-lamping chores, of happening over and over again, and will enhance the security and safety of our lives.

In short, some of the advantages of using our LED tunnel lights for underpass lighting systems are:

a. Uniform and even lighting
b. Improved light quality
c. Cheaper cost of ownership and maintenance
d. Enhanced energy efficiency.
