It’s reported that Singapore is making a LED street lights pilot program in parts of roads.

Over in One-North, a stretch of road has become a test-bed for LED street lights. JTC Corporation and a Taiwan-based firm Foxsemicon Integrated Technology (Fiti) installed new lights there to compare their performance with conventional lamps in April.

Additionally, to further explore the viability of having LED street lights in Singapore, JTC will be testing them out at another stretch of road at its upcoming CleanTech Park.

JTC has received seven proposals for the test-bed, and it will be assessing them together with the Land Transport Authority. The first round of tests should take place in the third quarter this year.

According to JTC engineering planning division director Koh Chwee, other new estates under JTC’s watch, such as Mediapolis, are potential candidates for more trials.

In his opinion, with more rounds of tests, and as technology improves, LED street lights should be ready to be rolled out on a bigger scale’ in another two to three years’ time in Singapore.
