contributing to energy savings and increased road safety |
The departments of Public Safety and the Environment of Molina de Segura assist in replacing the old lights and other traffic lights with new technology, which helps save energy and increase road safety
The new lights use LED technology, safer and more energy efficient than the old tungsten halogen lamps
The departments of Public Safety and the Environment of the City of Molina de Segura assist in replacing the old lights and other traffic lights with new technology, which reduces energy costs and improve road safety.
With the installation of new lights is to achieve energy savings of 86%, and that daily consumption of the old traffic lights with incandescent lamps was 2289.84 Kw., While the installation of new LED lights (Light Emitting Gods or LEDs), daily consumption is reduced up to 327.12 kW.
The energy savings is a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases.
With traffic lights was above 0.877 tons of CO2 per day, with new LED lights is reduced to the 0.125 tons per day.
In addition, its duration is about 10 years, compared to 6-month average of the current lamps.
The Councillor for the Environment, Consuelo Rosauro Meseguer, notes that "from the Department of Environment will continue to promote actions that contribute to energy conservation and, therefore, to lower CO2 emissions, among other actions aimed at sustainable development.
Proof of this is that our town is built in the Spanish Network of Cities for Climate, whose activity is aimed at the promotion and enhancement of sustainable development policies and the fight against climate change contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions emissions and the Kyoto Protocol compliance.
Also from our council coordinate the implementation of Local Agenda 21, which will allow us to address global environmental issues from local action. "
For his part, Councillor for Citizen Security, Fortunato Arias City, notes that "In addition, this new technology significantly improves road safety.
The high brightness light emitted allows perfect perception of signals even in the most adverse conditions, and avoid the glare from the sun, the disappearance of the reflector.
Another important advantage is that, being composed of small lamps, a focus on failure signal will not turn off traffic lights, avoiding the traffic problems that can occur whenever a traffic light does not work. "
LED technology is an electronic device that emits light of one color when electricity passes through it.
Thus, the group enough LEDs in a matrix, they can deliver the amount of light needed to replace a halogen in applications such as traffic signals, signage and decorative lighting, etc.
