lighting Renewed Plaza Urquiza

After long months of waiting, we had the expectation of finding, at its inauguration, with a completely renovated Plaza Urquiza. We confess that we suffer a disappointment, despite the significant investments that are supposed to be three million dollars, just washed her face.

What if I accustomed to weigh the public promenade, is the new lighting, but this item does not conform to us, because it has resorted to conventional technology, which shows obsolete, and not a tip. Logically, being a comprehensive renovation of public space, was to use advanced technology.

We refer to the new outdoor LED lamps, which are all the rage in Europe and already have begun to use on field trips in the city of Buenos Aires. In our note radial Monday, 7 February, we highlighted the replacement of all old and modern lighting LED lamps in the Plaza Julio Cortázar and reproduced statements Diego Santilli, owner of the Environment and Public Space city government, who stated: "In Europe and the lights are installed LED in various capitals. It is undoubtedly a new step towards the smart city. "

We wonder: Does the municipality of San Miguel de Tucumán, was advised by the prestigious Institute of Lighting of the UNT to renew the lighting of the Plaza? We do not know, but if you like to comment on the implications of this technological leap is revolutionizing the lighting techniques. New High Intensity LED lamps for outdoor use, came into use in Europe and other parts of the world, to illuminate roads, highways, streets, avenues, parks, plazas, gardens, factories, parking lots, saving more than 50% and up 80% of energy. The lights have a lifespan of 50,000 hours, an average of 10 hours of power are a potential duration of 13 years. Also, do not emit heat or UV rays are much more environmentally friendly.
With these significant advantages, it is logical that throughout the world have begun to move quickly to conventional lamps. In Spain, and have been used to illuminate spaces since 2009, when it was remodeled Montañeta Square in Alicante.
LED is the acronym of Light Emitting Diode, since they are semiconductor devices that emit light when the electrical current flows. As often happens in modern technological processes, however, that have been used as indicator lights for quite some time, only now you are learning new applications, such as new TV screens and lamps for lighting.

Replacing conventional modern LED lights on the Plaza Urquiza, would have been a sign that our authorities and technical are indeed not been updated in time.
