Philips TrueForce LED Road is the world’s first ‘plug and play’ replacement SON-T LED lamp for street lighting, making it easy to upgrade existing installations to LED without having to replace the luminaire.
The new Philips TrueForce LED Road is the first of its kind to fit into the standard E27 fixture and replicate a similar light effect to conventional street lighting. Philips TrueForce LED Road reduces the time needed to maintain, replace and fit each street light, including the knock-on time required for road closures. In addition, its longer lifespan of more than eight years plus energy savings of up to 45% compared to conventional bulbs help save on running costs.
LED street light installation
The Nacka Municipality in Sweden has already trialled the new Philips TrueForce LED Road. Mikael Jansson, the street lighting expert at the municipality said: “Philips TrueForce LED Road, provides better light quality and a safer outdoor environment, compared to a 70W high pressure sodium lamp. The installation was as easy as installing a regular lamp and it fit various distinctive applications. Philips TrueForce LED Road is a good alternative to LED luminaires when budgets are tight.”
Comfort and safety
Modernising the traditional 20-30-year old street lighting design, the new Philips TrueForce LED Road distributes a similar amount of light as conventional street lights and is available in warm white as well as a cooler white, to seamlessly blend in with existing street lights. With a significantly improved Colour Rendering Index compared to conventional SON-T lamps, it also enhances the feeling of comfort and safety. Philips TrueForce LED Road will be available across Europe from July 2018.
