The main types of street lights available for supply include LED street lights, solar-powered street lights, high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights, and metal halide lights. Each type has its own advantages in terms of energy efficiency, brightness, and installation requirements.

Solar street lights work by utilizing solar panels to capture sunlight during the day, which is then stored in batteries to power the lights at night. They require minimal installation as they do not need to be connected to the electrical grid, making them ideal for remote areas.

The benefits of using LED street lights include lower energy consumption, longer lifespan, reduced maintenance costs, and improved visibility. LED lights are also more environmentally friendly and can significantly lower overall street lighting costs.

Municipalities can ensure a reliable supply of street lights by establishing partnerships with reputable manufacturers, maintaining good inventory management practices, and planning for future demand through thorough assessments of their lighting needs.
