LED Street Lights? Would they work at 50deg C ambient air temperature?
Its typical in the middle east that air ambient temperature to touch 50 deg C and exposed metal temperature of upto 95deg C. Would a LED street light handle such high temperatures?
Further, Does anyone know of a maufacturer / vendor who can LED street lights in the Middle East.

Yes they would but you would have to offer a shade arrangement such as the double skin roof fitted to Safari Land Rovers. The lantern head would need to be shaded by this extra layer of heat reflective material with an air space between. The semiconductors, including the LED’s would also require increased size heat sinks to dissipate the heat genetated into the elevated ambient air temperature.
I believe LEDs a max operating range of up to 85 deg C
