I need to calculate the number of LEDs for outside (road) lighting. Tha luminous flux on the road is 30 lux, and the lamp is at a height of 12 meters. How much luminous flux do I need for the lamp? So, how many LEDs do I have to use to get this? Can I reach a 60 watts for this lamp?
What LED can I use? :ohgeez:
 
Are you talking about buying a pre-made unit or making one your self? With the 30 lux, is that what the current light is putting out, if so how are you measuring this?

You can convert lux on an area to lumens. How much area is it lighting? The width of a street and two sidewalks, for how much distance? You'll want to use an array of LEDs.

I am talking of making a unit by myself. The 30 lux is given by a standard...:)

1 lux = 1 lumen per meter squared. So you need 30 lumens of output per meter illuminated, plus losses. How much area does each light need to light?
