LED are taking our current luminaries by storm. They discretely hide in our office lamp, and have replaced our kitchen and bathroom light bulbs. But there’ve always been spotted inside homes; now, they stand out in public streetlights.
The LEDs of the Equinox Pedestrian Floodlight should last for approximately 50,000 hours, almost 6 years, and three times as long as lamps currently used in similar situations. Philips got an IF award for it, but insists on the need of its design as “a welcoming ambiance in the urban environment.”
Our suggestion: Streetlights are high and can possibly be very exposed to sunlight. Why don’t Philips put some solar panels on the back of the LED panel. Light poles would become electrical solar plant, and self-sustained.
