LED Street Lights: Sourcing from China (60W–200W)
1 resources tagged with "Street Lights"
LED street lights for municipal and commercial roads are high-liability fixtures — failures mean a dark road and a maintenance truck — so the certification and ingress specs are non-negotiable. China-made units in the 60W-200W range typically carry IP66 sealing, IK08 impact resistance, and photocell compatibility, with CE/ENEC required for European roads. The spec buyers most often overlook is the LED driver brand and its rated lifetime; the diode array usually outlasts a cheap driver by years.
When sourcing street lights, the driver is the reliability bottleneck — confirm its brand, surge protection rating, and warranty separately from the luminaire. The common pitfall is accepting an IP66 claim without checking the gasket and cable gland quality, which is where water actually gets in.

FAQ
What certification do LED street lights need for Europe?
CE is mandatory and ENEC is the recognized safety mark for luminaires sold to European road authorities. Ask for a test report that names the exact wattage and driver model.
What does IP66 and IK08 mean for a street light?
IP66 means fully dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets; IK08 means it withstands a moderate impact (about a 5 joule strike). Both matter for an outdoor fixture exposed to weather and vandalism.
