LED Streetlights

LED street lights for roads, grounds and car parks

Whether you want to illuminate a business park, a car park, an access road or a public space: LED street lights offer an energy-efficient and low-maintenance solution. They are designed to function for a long time even in rain, cold or direct sunlight, and consume significantly less energy than traditional sodium vapour lamps or halogen outdoor lighting.

In this range, you will find LED street lights for various applications: from simple fixed luminaires on a light pole to smart versions with an integrated dusk sensor or motion sensor. This allows you to set the lighting to suit your situation and save on energy costs without compromising on safety and visibility.

Which LED street light is right for your situation?

The choice of the right LED street light depends on a number of practical factors: the height of the pole, the width of the road or area, the desired light colour, and whether you want additional functionality such as a sensor. Below is an overview of the most important variants.

Fixed LED street lights

A fixed LED street light burns all night at a set power. This variant is suitable for locations where continuous lighting is required, such as public roads, cycle paths or busy business parks. You choose the wattage based on the pole height and the illumination zone you want to achieve.

LED street lighting with dusk sensor

An LED street light with a dusk sensor automatically switches on at dusk and switches off as soon as there is enough light. This makes manual operation unnecessary and ensures consistent lighting all year round, regardless of seasonal variations in daylight hours. Practical for car parks, access roads and public paths.

LED street lighting with motion sensor

In locations where people or vehicles are not constantly present, an LED street light with a motion sensor can significantly save energy. The lamp burns at a low basic level or is completely off, and switches to full power as soon as movement is detected. This is a commonly used solution for backyards, side entrances and less busy parts of a business park.

Solar LED street lights

Do you want to install lighting in a location without an available electricity connection? Then solar LED street lights are an interesting option. They charge during the day via an integrated solar panel and switch on automatically at dusk. Solar street lights are easy to install without digging or cabling, and are ideal for remote plots, country roads or temporary situations.

What should you consider when choosing an LED street light?

Wattage and lumen output

The required wattage depends heavily on the pole height and the illumination width. As a rule of thumb: the higher the pole, the more lumens you need to achieve sufficient illumination on the road surface. For poles from 4 to 6 metres, luminaires of 20 to 50 watts are usually sufficient. For poles from 6 to 10 metres, you are more likely to work with 50 to 100 watts or more. Always check the photometric data or the product's datasheet for the exact light distribution.

IP rating

Street lights are used outdoors and must be resistant to rain, dust and extreme temperatures. Always check the IP rating of the luminaire. IP65 or higher is the standard for outdoor lighting. This guarantees complete dust tightness and protection against water jets from any direction.

Light colour (colour temperature)

For street lighting and LED area lighting, a neutral white or cool white light (4000K to 6000K) is usually chosen. This provides clear visual contrast on the road surface, improves the visibility of obstacles and is perceived as safer in traffic. Warm white light (2700K to 3000K) is sometimes used for more atmospheric environments such as access paths at hospitality venues or events.

Mounting method

Check in advance how the street light will be mounted. Most luminaires are suitable for mounting on a round pole via a bracket or clamp. Some models have an adjustable arm or support bracket for wide pole diameters. Pay attention to the specified pole style or bracket size in the product specifications.

Advice per application

Frequently asked questions about LED street lights

What is the difference between an LED street light with a dusk sensor and one with a motion sensor?

An LED street light with a dusk sensor automatically switches on at dusk and switches off when there is enough light again. The lamp burns at full power all night. A street light with a motion sensor detects if someone or something passes by, and reacts by lighting up or switching to full power. This second type is more energy-efficient in quiet locations, but less suitable for main roads where continuous lighting is required.

What wattage do I need for my street light?

That depends on the pole height and the width of the surface to be illuminated. As a rule of thumb: for poles up to 5 metres, 20 to 40 watts is usually sufficient. For higher poles of 6 to 8 metres, you would rather choose 50 to 80 watts. Always consult the datasheet or the lumen values of the specific product to check if the light output is sufficient for your situation.

Are solar street lights suitable for year-round use?

Solar LED street lights are most effective during periods with sufficient sunlight. In the Netherlands, performance may be lower in winter due to shorter daylight hours and cloud cover. Many solar models have a built-in battery with sufficient capacity for several dark nights in a row. Check the product's capacity specifications for use in less sunny conditions.

What IP rating do LED street lights need?

For outdoor use, IP65 is the minimum. This guarantees protection against dust and water jets from all directions. In locations with high exposure to rain or splash water, you can choose IP66 or higher. The IP rating is stated in the specifications of each product.

Can I also order LED street lights for a larger project?

Yes, for larger quantities, project discount is possible. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities. You can also order online, with free delivery in the Netherlands for orders from €125.
