Shenhai Explosion-Proof
Frequent highway travelers recognize that significant bridges, tunnels, and areas near suburbs are typically equipped with street lighting, while other highway sections rarely feature LED explosion-proof lights. The absence of such lighting in many areas is not an oversight; rather, it’s a strategic choice based on economic value.
Safety Concerns
Standard highways are usually equipped with reflective road markers, which, combined with vehicle headlights, sufficiently meet drivers’ lighting needs. Surprisingly, installing LED explosion-proof lights could actually increase driving hazards. These lights offer uneven and discontinuous illumination, potentially causing dangerous visual effects for drivers at high speeds. This alternation between light and dark can lead to visual misperceptions, significantly increasing risk. Additionally, the poor brightness and scattered light of explosion-proof streetlights can cause driver fatigue and dizziness during long drives, posing a safety risk.
Economic Considerations
The installation of LED explosion-proof lights on highways entails substantial long-term costs, including laying cable conduits, equipping devices, managing personnel, and maintaining the infrastructure. The limited effectiveness of such an investment renders it economically unviable.
Given these considerations, the likelihood of seeing LED explosion-proof lights on highways, now or in the future, remains minimal. The focus remains on practical and economically sound lighting solutions that prioritize driver safety without imposing unnecessary financial burdens.
