Frequently Asked Questions

What CCT is recommended for street lighting?

For most street lighting applications, 4000K (neutral white) provides the best balance of visibility and comfort. Residential areas may prefer 3000K (warm white) for reduced glare, while highways and industrial areas often use 5000-5700K (cool white) for maximum visibility. We offer full CCT customization based on your project requirements.

How do I calculate the number of LEDs needed for my street light fixture?

The number of LEDs depends on your target lumen output and the specific LED's flux rating. For example, to achieve 10,000 lumens using XP-L HI (1,200 lm each), you would need approximately 8-9 LEDs. Our FAE team can help you calculate the optimal LED count and arrangement for your specific fixture design and application requirements.

Do you support smart lighting controls?

Yes, all our recommended Cree LEDs support dimming and are compatible with smart lighting control systems. We can recommend compatible drivers with 0-10V, DALI, or wireless control options. Our team can also advise on integration with smart city platforms and IoT lighting management systems.

What is the typical payback period for LED street lighting?

With Cree LED's 170+ lm/W efficiency, typical payback periods range from 2-4 years depending on electricity costs and operating hours. The 100,000+ hour lifetime also significantly reduces maintenance costs over the 10+ year operational life. We can provide detailed ROI calculations for your specific project.
