Studies in Europe have shown that there are some impacts of the LED street lamps on the insects. There are so many reasons as to why there is an interest in the impacts of the LED street light lamps on the insects. Various people have carried out several studies and they have also demonstrated that millions of these insects are usually attracted to the street lights where they do perish. Insects such as Shad flies are normally attracted to the street lights at nights especially during the summer period.

However, some of these insects can be an urban nuisance apart from adding to the cost of cleaning up the lamp fixtures as well as the street sidewalk in quest of removing the dead insects. The North Bay conducted a simple assessment about the extent at which the Shad flies are normally attracted to the HPS and LED lights. They found that the HPS lights are literally masked with Shad flies while the LED lamps containing fixtures had few flies.

Regardless of your motivation to saving the life of the insects, lowering the cleaning costs as well as reducing the insects swarming nuisance and purely aesthetic interests in LED street lights that hold promise. Several municipalities have already undergone major retrofit programs that started around 2 decades ago. Most of the lamps as well as fixtures have been installed since then and they are now nearing the end of their useful lives. It is very crucial that the next set of the LED street lighting technology will be selected with a lot of care not to make a wrong choice that may saddle you with energy wasting or even maintenance of the intensive lamps for the next two or three decades to come.

Therefore, when selecting the lighting technology to use such as the LED Street light, it is very important to consider the future development in the field of lighting. Some of the most promising developments include the following.

Intelligent lights with motion sensors or those capable of changing their output to suit the ambient light levels should be similar in order to maintain a uniform illumination. A large retail store should install LED lighting which run on 49 watts of electricity but ensure that the power to their full brightness is 149 watts. Similarly, it is also possible to develop the control technologies which can allow the different sensors to match the light output to the ambient light levels by use of small amounts of power to produce enough light in the evening.

The other development is the use of lights as information gathering points concerning the meteorological conditions as well as traffic movement. Another one includes the use of the solar panels that are integrated using light poles so as to ensure uniform generation of electricity. This can further help to reduce the environmental results of the lighting. Use of the manual control of the lights through the power cables is also another development. San Jose is currently experimenting these technologies. They have opted to use the LED technology for lighting since it is the most available light on the market nowadays. Generally, the human race has come from far due to this innovation and thus lighting should be similar everywhere.
