The core advantages of LED tubes in traffic track lighting

LED tubes are increasingly used in traffic track lighting. With their significant advantages, they have gradually replaced traditional light sources such as fluorescent tubes, high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps. The following are the core advantages of LED tubes in this field:

1. Ultra-high energy efficiency and energy saving: The light efficiency of LED tubes is much higher than that of traditional light sources (such as fluorescent lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps), and can usually save 40%-70% of electricity consumption. This is of great significance for transportation hubs (such as subway stations, railway stations, transfer halls, and tunnels) that require 24/7 uninterrupted lighting, which can greatly reduce operating costs.

2. Ultra-long life and low maintenance: The service life of LED tubes can usually reach more than 50,000 hours (5-10 times that of fluorescent lamps). It greatly reduces the frequency of lamp replacement and maintenance workload, reduces maintenance costs and the risk of operational interruption caused by maintenance operations (especially in busy track areas or tunnels). Reduce the number of times maintenance personnel enter dangerous areas (such as above the track and deep in the tunnel), and improve safety.

3. Excellent reliability and stability: LED is a solid-state light source with excellent shock and vibration resistance, which is very suitable for vibration in the rail environment. There are no fragile parts such as filaments and glass tubes, which are not easily damaged by vibration. It starts quickly and is not affected by frequent switching (cold start). It reaches full brightness instantly, which is especially suitable for areas that require emergency lighting or sensor control.

4. Excellent optical performance and visual comfort:

High color rendering index: It can provide lighting close to natural light, and the color rendering index is usually greater than 80, or even up to 90+. This is essential for security monitoring, identification of signs, passenger reading, and creating a comfortable atmosphere.

Precise light distribution: Through lens design, more precise beam control and light distribution can be achieved, glare can be reduced, lighting uniformity can be improved, and light can be wasted in unnecessary areas (such as irradiating the track to interfere with the driver).

No flicker: High-quality LED drivers can achieve truly flicker-free lighting, reduce visual fatigue, improve comfort, and are more friendly to the picture quality of surveillance cameras.

5. Environmental protection:

It does not contain harmful substances such as mercury, reducing environmental pollution.

Lower energy consumption also means reduced carbon emissions.

6. Design flexibility and easy installation:

Various sizes (such as T5, T8) and flexible lengths can be well adapted to the installation location of existing fluorescent lamps for direct replacement or modification. Relatively easy to install, especially in the scenario of replacing existing fluorescent tubes.
