Module Led Lamp Street Lights

Module street light means that the light source part comprises a single LED module with a power of 50W. A single LED module comprises PCB, LED, lens, and extruded aluminum heat sink. If you need to increase the power of LED lamp street lights, you only need to increase the number of LED modules. The case used to hold the power supply and the base is still a die-cast aluminum case.

Pros:

  • Reduce development costs. If it is a street lamp with a die-cast aluminum shell, each size of shell and lens needs to be molded separately. The shell size of the LED street lamp already belongs to the large-size mold. The mold design cost of a street lamp die-casting shell is more than 10,000 US dollars. For the research and development of modular street lamps, it is only necessary to conduct mold development for the module radiator, lens, and base part.
  • Extruded aluminum housings dissipate heat better than die-cast aluminum housings.
  • The post-operation and maintenance cost of modular street lights is lower than that of die-cast aluminum housings.
