Urban Renewal Case Study | Dongjin Road, Dongtai, Jiangsu
Xingyao (meaning Star Shine), the landscape street lamp that won the German Red Dot Design Award, is a flagship product developed by Sanxing Lighting. Boasting a sleek, minimalist and integrated design, coupled with an ultra-large light-emitting surface, it is ideally suited for the construction and lighting upgrading of first-class urban highways and expressways in modern cities. Let us take a look at the recent application effect of Xingyao—the road lighting upgrading project of Dongjin Road in Dongtai, Jiangsu Province.
As a major urban traffic artery in Dongtai City, Dongjin Road plays a vital role in improving the urban transportation network and alleviating traffic pressure. Lined with diverse urban functional zones including industrial parks, office complexes, residential areas and recreational districts, it serves as a crucial route for local residents. The road, however, is plagued by heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, coupled with a chaotic mix of motorized and non-motorized vehicles. Its outdated lighting facilities failed to deliver adequate illumination and appealing landscape effects, which not only posed potential risks to traffic safety, but also fell short of boosting the city’s cultural tourism development and spiritual civilization initiatives.
To address these issues, our company collaborated closely with relevant authorities to gain a thorough understanding of the road renovation requirements. We deployed our Xingyao landscape street lamps, which effectively resolved the deficiencies in both road lighting performance and landscape aesthetics.
The Xingyao landscape street lamp adopts an intelligent manufacturing process combining profile extrusion and stamping, which endows the luminaire with a highly integrated appearance. Its streamlined and minimalist overall design is more aligned with the development trends of modern cities, delivering superior adaptability to urban roads, enhancing the travel experience of residents, and boosting the city’s cultural and tourism development.
All light sources adopt our high luminous efficiency LED glass modules, which fully meet the nighttime lighting requirements of roads. Composed of ultra-white tempered glass, PC lenses, light source boards, safety clips, radiators, waterproof connectors, breathers and wires, these modules deliver excellent lighting performance and a long service life. Compared with traditional sodium lamps, they feature higher energy efficiency, a longer service life and a lower failure rate, while also boasting 8 core advantages.
Higher Anti-fouling Rating. To achieve a higher anti-fouling rating and adapt to harsher environmental conditions, we encapsulate the PC lens with ultra-white glass that offers strong corrosion resistance, oil resistance, and anti-dust adhesion. The glass cover is integrated into the entire module via structural design. This protects the PC lens from contamination by corrosive substances such as vehicle exhaust, dust, oil fumes, and sulfur dioxide, significantly improves the luminous flux maintenance rate, extends the service life of the LED module, and eliminates maintenance costs incurred by regular PC lens surface cleaning.
IP67 Dust and Waterproof. DesignThe dust and waterproof design combines the glass cover and the module tightly using a snap-fit and adhesive bonding process, achieving an IP67 dust and waterproof rating. A breather is installed in the light source chamber to balance the air pressure difference between the chamber and the atmosphere. This prevents negative pressure buildup inside the sealed chamber when the LED module cools down after being turned off, which could otherwise draw moisture through weak sealing points. Meanwhile, air circulation eliminates fogging and condensation inside the chamber caused by humid weather.
Excellent Heat Dissipation Structure. The module features a die-cast aluminum alloy heat sink with an optimized finned structure. Heat from the LED chips is transferred through the aluminum substrate and a thin layer of thermal grease to the heat sink, and then dissipated via natural air convection. The large heat dissipation area and efficient structural design ensure the module operates stably over the long term.
Enhanced Safety Performance. The module is equipped with a highly transparent flame-retardant PC lens, which is further protected by ultra-white tempered glass that inherently provides safety benefits. To prevent the glass from falling off due to unforeseen factors, stainless steel safety clips are installed in addition to glass adhesive bonding, effectively preventing glass detachment.
High Light Transmittance. The module adopts a high-transparency PC lens with a light transmittance of up to 92%, featuring flame retardancy, UV resistance, high toughness, and impact resistance. The ultra-white tempered glass minimizes luminous flux attenuation with high visible light transmittance and excellent clarity—the 3.2mm-thick glass achieves a visible light transmittance of over 96%.
Superior Light Distribution Performance. The light distribution design adopts a dual-focus concept that balances brightness and illuminance. This design better meets the visual comfort requirements of pedestrians and complies with national road lighting design standards.
High Compatibility with LED Chips. Cost-effective 3030 LED chips and high luminous efficiency 5050 LED chips can be selected according to specific requirements.
Outstanding Cost-effectiveness. It improves the lighting performance of the luminaire, slows down lens aging, and greatly extends the service life of both the module and the luminaire.
The road lighting upgrading project on Dongjin Road in Dongtai, Jiangsu has effectively met the road lighting needs, created a more comfortable and energy-efficient urban lighting environment, and eliminated potential traffic safety hazards for residents' travel. With its modern and minimalist design, the project has better promoted the development of urban cultural tourism and spiritual civilization, boosting the healthy and civilized development of the city.
