Why is the selection of streetlight poles so important?

Why is the selection of streetlight poles so important?

The overall lighting system of an area is directly dependent on the streetlight poles placed at various locations. Apart from the lighting system, the poles serve wind resistance, as well as pressure resistance for the streetlight itself. Inferior poles can bend, break, or even collapse, injuring anyone in the vicinity. This is especially true in the case of typhoons and heavy rain. For stability and to make sure they survive extreme weather conditions for up to a decade, high-quality poles are made of high-strength steel with rust and corrosion protection.

Break and wind resistance is also contingent on the height of the pole.

For example :

5-6 meters: Suitable for residential roads and courtyards

8-12 meters: Suitable for municipal roads and squares

15 meters and above: Suitable for highways and large venues

Modern poles are a part of landscaping and also serve as the overall image of the street. Modern poles are a part of landscaping with their various designs like classic European, sleek and streamlined, or even integrated solar panels, enhancing the overall image and seamlessly blending.

What criteria distinguish a high-quality streetlight pole?

1. The choice of pole material. Rust resistant and corrosion resistant hot dip galvanized steel poles offer the best value with an outdoor service life of 15 years or more. Stainless steel poles are more expensive but do better in high-humidity or coastal areas. Aluminum alloy poles are attractive and lightweight but less load bearing so best used with decorative lightings.

2. Wall Thickness and Wind Resilience General Regions: Wall thickness ≥ 3mm, wind resistance level 10 Coastal and Windy Regions: Wall thickness ≥ 4mm, wind resistance lvl 12 and above

3. Key Design Details

Flange Base: Provides a more stable installation and prevents wobbling.

Access Door Design: Ensures good sealing to prevent water ingress while shutting out outside elements.Aids window sealing repairs.

Embedded components norm: 1/10 pole height ensures adequate sealing.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if the paint on the street light pole is peeling or rusting?

A:Choose hot-dip galvanizing + plastic spraying for double protection and prevent rust.

Q: Is the pole easily knocked over?

A:High-quality poles have a thickened base that meets impact resistance standards and can be equipped with anti-collision warning signs.

Q: Are there any special requirements for solar street light poles?

A:Space must be reserved for solar panel mounting, and the structure must be sufficiently load-bearing (especially for dual-head lamps or in windy areas).
