send one of the LED road lamps to BigClive and get him to take it apart and test it.
Well I've just got back from friends Pub looking at the outside lights these will save him a few quid a year. Thanks lads.
Power saving aside I don't particularly like the colour temp of led street lights or the narrower beam angle.. As in I don't think they light as well and the colder colour temp makes road markings difficult to see in the wet. What also doesn't help is when councils turn them off (led ones) to save money .....looking at you Swansea council.
I wonder if they last the time quoted. I doubt it. . I can see some farmer finding a old sodium lamp and not even looking at that label . At one time some sodium lamps had a built in igniter and some relying on a external igniter . The times people got those muddled up
How would the savings change if the price of both types of lamps and anticipated lifetimes were taken into account?
Id like to see this done with a SOX lamps instead of SON/SON-T as SOX was way more common in the uk, however with SOX there's not much point in replacing it as it reaches the same efficiency of LED
They also make a SOX version with b22 cap. This lamp offers the same lumen as the Son version with less power 100w down to 40w
@@efixx Ahh right, do they do orange versions as the white light can be very harsh
@@FinlaysFireSystemsElectrical strange you should say that. I have two sox lights in my farm yard and am loathed to change them as the light is a subtle glow and the led replacements are very harsh. I do have a box of spare lamps, just as well as they cost a fortune. Like you say the lumens per watt are very high
@@johnwarwick4105 you can get an amber LED module here in the US that emulates the color of LPS. I was in Flagstaff AZ last year, and they still use monochromatic street lamps because there is an observatory nearby. I was only there one night, and what I thought were actual LPS lamps were indeed retrofitted with amber LED modules (I believe the fixtures were originally LPS and retrofitted.
I appreciate the lamp. Nice bit of gear. But the economics do not stackup on the retrofit. These luminares you are talking about are up there in age. If they are up around the 5 year mark, it's far more efficient to rip the head off and replace the assembly with a fresh LED unit. The new lamps we are fitting up have zigbee controls and a fall-back PE. The cost of changing this whole assembly out is going to be LESS than opening the luminare at height, and making modifications. The installation is then good for 8 years - the warranty that Osram or Thorn gives us for the fitting.
One more note - the depots we run are now using ZB controls integrated with the security systems and cameras. We realised that that we were supplying thieves who jump/cut the fence to steal copper were happy to use our lighting systems. Now the lights are all OFF until we need them. The security cams can see in the dark - if an intruder jumps the fence (which is now electrified) they start sneaking around with torches until the security guard presses a button to activate the lights and the PA system. Very efficient - but you do need to hose the area they were standing.... Cleaning up the mess from the thieves shitting themselves :)
Philips 100w SON-T Master.
Average life of 36,000.
Lumens of 10,600.
Is it a true replacement.
What would the lux levels be, using a warm white LED lamp, at fixed points within the test environment. This dinosaur is desperate to put all his faith into LED lamps.
PS. When will they overcome the problem with LED lights flickering when they sometimes fail.
Keep the thought provoking video's coming.
I had Thorn Son T lamps in our petrol filling station canopy back in the 80`s
I'm surprised to see this, here in the states all the HPS fixtures were changed out to LED years ago.... this looks like something that was done when LED was first introduced....
Council where I live spent a fortune ripping out the old fixtures and putting in terribly DIM white LED's, and when they fail you have to change the entire head unit..... Because obviously that is cheaper than just changing the bulb. And the odd one I have seen fail sometimes flash on and off for days until they replace it.
@4.40 you say in edison screw the large inside area to line? that seems daft to me, much less likely to touch a finger to the pin deep inside, and when its switched off the neutral wire can still be tingly (and trip RCDs if you touch it)
I implied the large screw area should be neutral.
Interesting , great video as always Guy’s 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
They replaced most of the street lighting around where are we live in England with LEDs as in separate light fittings new light fittings with LEDs.
And I can safely say you can't see a thing!!
The amount of Light giving off is appalling!!
So it would be interesting to see her these would compared to them!
Hi, I went to quote a board swap and came across an ancient antique fusebox/timeswitch which I'm guessing may have been a heating controller off some sort.
It says herwood heating on it, it has ground 1 ground 2 upper 1 upper 2 zones and the timeswitches have a few options:off/timeswitch/direct, was wondering if anyone has come across these and have any info on them I have tried researching on the Internet but have not come across one. Any info would help.
Send us a picture and we’ll ask the community - admin@efixx.co.uk
@@efixx I have sent an email with 2 photos attached any info would be useful thanks in advance.
Not sure why you'd bother in most cases. Just replace the fixtures.
In AU they're just swapping them over to new LED fixtures, either in bulk lots, or as they fail.
Sometimes it comes down to opex vs capex budgets. Plus some fixtures are a heritage design.
I always clean the glass to get rid of any finger prints on the glass when changing lamps. Must be my OCD lol 😂
Top tip 👍
@@efixx No problem great to share a tip or 2 🤓 keep up the good work guys and girls.
Around £70 mark for 40watt version too expensive!
The old lamps last way longer, and the old ones are better anyway, they are a softer light and just better in every way
2:44 ohh, c'mon, push your screwdriver into the top hole and you can remove the wires
We are always kind of careful when working on a large capacitor which has just been fully charged.
@@efixx instead of the logical push and pull the wire out you basically cut the 2 wires as short as possible and leave the copper in them exposed, handy for the skin to accidentally scrape on it and receive the discharge 🥲 it’s a small capacitor anyway so you can take that zoot like a man and crack a smile after.
Be careful, you might get the 5G loonies say those bulbs are 5G death beams 🤪
We’ve seen the famous Gateshead video!
I really hate thr brightness and colour from led street lamps.
I will never understand why they didn't continue using the sodium salt colour and brightness as it was much softer on your eyes. LEDs come in so many colours, you can't tell me they can't produce the same colour as the old lights and running them at the dimmer brightness would use even less power.
It's true, many first gen street lights were sold in 6500K which is a very harsh colour indeed. These are a much softer 3000K & 4000K. The original sodium lamps also don't provide great visibility or colour render, so not ideal for driver vision or CCTV clarity.
@@justinewalmsley5595 Not really correct at all, sodium SOX lamps produced tonnes of light and when these LEDs came in street were significantly dimmer becuase LED only shines light directly down meaning in between poles theres a massive dark gap whereas with SOX there was a massive light spread and less poles were needed, people blabber on saying the SOX light where inefficient even though the reached the same efficiency as LED and in some cases even higher!
Perhaps you've seen some bad refits in your time, where the column top has been replaced with a new LED luminaire with insufficient beam angle? However as this video says, in the case of a like-for-like LED replacement, the LED lamp utilises the optics of the original luminaire, so you would get the same lightspread as the SOX it is replacing.
@@justinewalmsley5595 The retro fits do okay, its more the actual LED fixtures that don’t have a good bean angle
In Worcestershire we have to orange led street lights in certain rural area there a great idea
save more money but not losing those wagos...
wire nuts the way foreward 😂
whats with copying the Americans . Every spark in the uk knows you should not twist the conductors together . Yet You want to copy the Americans and adopt wire nuts which twist the conductors together . Madness.
Why not an acceptable connection method here in the UK it's up to personal choice if you want to use them
I didn't see any wire nuts?
LED is rubbish, and way too bright. The old lamps are better
