Navigant Research see growth of LED lighting, networked controls in latest street lighting report
BOULDER, Colo. -- Falling prices for light-emitting diode (LED) street lights have spurred a global transition from older lamp technologies to newer, more efficient, and more controllable LEDs. LEDs offer city residents improved nighttime visibility and city managers cost savings from reductions in both energy consumption and maintenance costs. According to a new report from Navigant Research, the market share of LEDs in street lighting worldwide will grow from 53.3 percent in 2014 to 93.8 percent in 2023.
"The increase in sales of LED street lights has been surprisingly swift, with some companies reporting that more than half their sales are LEDs and others already planning to discontinue their non-LED product lines," says Jesse Foote, senior research analyst with Navigant Research. "At the same time, a rising number of cities are deploying networked control systems along with their new LED street lights, and the range of features available from those systems is expanding." Although LED street lights appear to be on track for a nearly complete takeover of the market, the adoption of networked control systems for street lights has followed a somewhat slower path. One critical challenge for the networked control industry, according to the report, is a lack of standardization and the large number of diverse players competing in this space. Questions remain over the best networking technology for street light control -- power line or radio frequency, and mesh or point-to-multipoint.
