Outdoor lighting refers to the illumination installed in outdoor areas, such as streets, highways, and alleys, to brighten dark spaces and enhance the aesthetic appeal of outdoor environments.
The primary types of outdoor lighting include LED lights, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, fluorescent lights, and plasma lamps. LED lights utilize a microchip to produce illumination when an electrical current passes through. Components involved in outdoor lighting systems include fixtures and controls, catering to applications such as street lighting, tunnel lights, highways, parking lots, parks, stadiums, building exteriors, and more. These products are distributed through both offline and online channels.
