What is the difference between street lights and landscape lights

Different heights

The difference between street lights and landscape lights is mainly reflected in their height. The regular height of street lights is 6-12 meters, and there are also some street lights with a regular height of 6-20 meters. However, the general height of landscape lights is 3-6 meters, because landscape lights are for ornamental purposes and do not need to be made too high. The higher the height, the more materials needed, and the more expensive the cost.

Different lighting power

Due to the need to provide sufficient illumination, the lighting power of street lamps is generally relatively high, usually within the range of 250-400W. The specific power is considered based on factors such as the width of the road, surrounding trees, height of lamp poles, and whether it affects surrounding residents.

The lighting power of landscape lights is relatively small, usually between 80-150W, but it may also be smaller. This is because landscape lights have a basic lighting function, and their greater role is to provide strong ornamental value. Its light source power can reflect the overall shape of the light, without the need for too much brightness.

Different application locations

Street lights are generally used in urban or rural main roads, secondary roads, urban squares, residential areas, and other places, and the lighting demand is generally relatively high.

Landscape lights are generally installed in independent areas, such as parks, gardens, high-end residential areas, commercial pedestrian streets, and leisure squares. Landscape lights are also used in many tourist attractions.

Different functions

The main function of road lights is lighting, which should provide good lighting brightness for pedestrians and vehicles. However, landscape lights only require basic lighting, and their main function is ornamental, used to decorate the surrounding environment and create an atmosphere.

The shapes of street lamps are not so diverse, usually only a few. But the shapes of landscape lights are very, very diverse, very casual, and not constrained. It can be customized according to the surrounding environment and special reasons.
