In extreme tunnels on the Tibetan Plateau, in commuter tunnels for the Hangzhou Asian Games, and in super engineering projects across the deep sea, Sansi LED tunnel lighting technology writes the story of safety and intelligence in China's transportation construction with innovation as the brush and light as the ink.
1. Technological Innovation: Solving Challenges in Extreme Environments
Facing complex environments such as high altitudes, extreme cold, and frequent earthquakes, Sansi provides reliable guarantees for tunnel lighting through breakthroughs in multiple core technologies:
Ceramic Heat Dissipation Technology: The independently developed ceramic heat dissipation solution directly welds the LED chip onto an alumina ceramic substrate, significantly reducing junction temperature and enhancing light efficiency and lifespan. This technology has been stably operating for several years in tunnels at an altitude of 4,500 meters in Tibet and on the Lhasa-Xigaze highway at -20°C, maintaining industry-leading light decay rates.
Reflective Lighting Technology: By utilizing a high-light-transmittance glass cover, it achieves soft light that "sees light but not the lamp," eliminating glare and flicker, and enhancing drivers' visual comfort. After applying this technology in the Shanghai Beiheng Tunnel, the accident rate decreased by 25% year-on-year.
Intelligent Control System: It integrates functions such as ambient light sensing and traffic flow monitoring to dynamically adjust brightness and color temperature. For instance, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel Tunnel can automatically switch to a yellow light penetration mode based on weather changes, ensuring driving safety in adverse conditions.
2. Engineering Practices: Lighting Major Transportation Arteries
From urban expressways to cross-sea bridges, Sansi technology has served over 2,500 tunnels nationwide, with typical cases demonstrating technical prowess:
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel: In the world's longest submerged tunnel, over 30,000 luminaires utilize reflective lighting technology combined with an intelligent dimming system to achieve even lighting without zebra lines or flicker, and initiate emergency lighting within 0.1 seconds in emergencies.
Hangzhou Asian Games Tunnels: Shushan Tunnel is the first to apply a "continuous light band" solution, with over 20,000 LED light strips creating an even light environment without granularity, enhancing driving transparency and becoming a new benchmark for smart transportation.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: Salt spray-resistant luminaires and seamless waterproof design have ensured zero failures after six years of continuous operation, with light decay rates below industry standards, setting a safety benchmark for cross-sea projects.
3. Social Value: Safety, Energy Saving, and Sustainability
Sansi technology not only enhances traffic safety but also promotes the development of green transportation:
Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction: LED luminaires offer light efficiency 2-3 times that of traditional light sources, and combined with intelligent dimming systems, comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 50%. After application in the Jinan Yellow River Tunnel, annual electricity savings exceeded one million yuan.
Long Lifespan and Low Maintenance: Luminaires have a lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours, with anti-vibration and corrosion-resistant designs reducing replacement frequency. The Yunnan Longjiang Bridge has achieved ten years without major failures in earthquake-prone areas.
Environmental Protection and Safety: Mercury- and lead-free eco-friendly materials and low-heat-radiation designs reduce light pollution and fire risks, contributing to the realization of "dual carbon" goals.
4. Future Outlook: Deepening Exploration of Smart Transportation
Sansi is integrating AI algorithms and IoT technology into tunnel lighting systems to develop functions such as fault self-diagnosis and vehicle-road coordination, transforming lighting from "single light sources" to "smart nodes." In the future, its technology will further integrate into the smart city network, providing data support for scenarios such as traffic emergency management and traffic flow prediction.
With 32 years of technical accumulation, Sansi continues to respond to the proposition of building a powerful transportation nation through technological innovation. From the snowy plateau to the coast of the East China Sea, from the Asian Games venues to the "Belt and Road," each LED tunnel light not only illuminates the road but also brightens the future path of China's infrastructure.
