SVL Vs LED

The document compares the total light output and efficiency of traditional high-pressure sodium vapor (SV) lamps versus light-emitting diode (LED) lamps for street lighting. For SV lamps, it estimates that only 38 lumens per square meter of road surface are received, which is lower than expected, likely due to the poor condition of the luminaries. LED lamps provide a higher 86 lumens per square meter and are more efficient overall due to higher light transmission and maintenance factors compared to SV lamps.

Total light by lamp


Assumed direct light from lamp
Assumed reflected light from lamp
% lumans
out of
luminaries

Assumed average reflection factor of good reflector


Average light transmitted through reflection (3*4)-%
So total light passing through toughtened glass cover (1+5)
Assumed Light absorbed by toughtened glass cover
Assumed maintenance factor of luminary housing
Calculated light available out of luminaries

Out of above, assumed light falling on working plan i.e Road


%age lumen So net light falling on road
reaching
Light effectiveness of due to poor CRI of SV L

Lumen received on road

Road area / lamp = 18 m *30 m for 2 - sq m

Actually measured

**This low probably due to very bad condition of luminaries
