Outdoor Lighting Fixtures
Modern society requires outdoor lighting for a variety of needs, including safety and commerce. Most people are familiar with incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs for indoor lighting, but outdoor lighting usually makes use of different, more industrial, sources of light. Common light sources include low-pressure sodium ("LPS"), high-pressure sodium ("HPS"), metal halide ("MH") and light emitting diodes ("LEDs").
LPS is very energy efficient but emits only a narrow spectrum of pumpkin-colored light that some find to be undesirable. Yet, LPS is an excellent choice for Lighting near astronomical observatories and in some environmentally sensitive areas.
HPS is commonly used for street lighting in many cities. Although it still emits an orange-colored light, its coloring is more "true to life" than that of LPS.
In areas where it's necessary to use white light, two common choices are metal halide and LEDs. One of the advantages of LED lighting is that it can be dimmed. Thus, instead of always lighting an empty street or parking lot at full brightness. LEDs can be turned down, or even off, when they aren't needed and then brought back to full brightness as necessary. This feature both saves on energy and reduces light pollution during the night.
Because of their reported long life and energy efficiency, LEDs are rapidly coming into widespread use. replacing the existing lighting in many cities.
