What is an LED urban light

In simple words, an LED urban light is the LED lighting fixture used for illuminating urban and public areas. Lighting plays an important role in urban development. LED urban lights bright up the city at night and during dark period, bringing dynamic to the city.

Where are LED urban lights used

LED urban lights are used for street, roadways, parks, squares, facades, architecture, etc. Applications of LED urban lights can be divided into three layers. The first layer focuses on the basic and critical lighting requirements of the safety for pedestrians and drivers. It can be defined as street lighting as it mainly includes the lighting for streets and roadways. The second layer is about the lighting of infrastructure that allows pedestrians to take leisure and recreational time in outdoor space after dark. Most of them are integrated with the space but also highlight the appearance of the space. Lighting for the pathways, parks, squares, and other spaces are classified as the second layer. The third layer of urban lighting is about the decorative lighting of surrounding architecture, serving aesthetic functions.

Will urban lights affect human mood and emotion

Yes, urban lights will affect human mood and emotions. You might know that color can affect human mood and emotion. Red color makes people feel positive, while blue lets people calm down. Color temperature of urban light has similar effects on human mood and emotions. Intermediate CCT about 4500K has the most positive effects on human mood and emotions. Excessive cool CCT (6500K) makes people nervous. And warm CCT around 2500K make people feel more tired and less motivated. Apart from color temperature, light intensity can also influence mood and emotion. Poor lighting contributes to depression, while moderate light intensity makes people more concentrated on their work and study.
