What Is Street Light?

 

Street lights, also known as street lamps, illuminate roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, and other public areas. They improve security and driving safety by enhancing vision in poor light conditions. They are often used with other traffic safety equipment to enhance visibility of equipment, obstacles, or darkened common areas. The primary function of street lights is to illuminate objects or areas that would otherwise be dark and out of focus at night. Street lights rely on light emitting diode (LED), incandescent, high pressure sodium, low pressure sodium, mercury vapor, metal halide, and high intensity discharge (HID) bulb technology to provide the appropriate amount, color, and temperature of light for a specific application. LED street lamps are the most current technology, offer the most amount of light for power consumption, and require minimal maintenance with longer bulb life.

Features And Specifications Of Street Lights

Power
The street lights are accessible in various power ranges, such as 100W, 150W, 200W, 400W, and so on. The power consumption of the light is a vital factor to curtail total energy expenses.

 

Operating Temperature
Operating temperature is a specific temperature range the light is constructed to operate. The outdoor street lights have a good enough operating temperature to resist various weather elements.

 

Brightness
The brightness produced by a street light varies from one model to another. Though all of the decent street lights produce bright light, some high-end street lamps generate super bright lighting to illuminate a large area.

 

Supply Voltage
The supply voltage is the voltage provided to the light itself to deliver the power. It is crucial to select a voltage that shows compatibility with the already existing infrastructure.

 

Photo Sensor Activated
Almost all street lights come with a built-in photo sensor to ensure that the light is on only when the surroundings are dark.

 

Integrated Solar Panel
The solar street lights are equipped with a solar panel as the primary power source or backup to lessen operational expenses.

 

Types of Street Light

 

Street lighting
Both rural and urban areas have a variety of streets, such as primary streets, secondary streets, etc. Different street lamp situations require different types of street lights, different wattages, and different light distributions. As technology advances, led street lights are a cost-effective and sustainable option for roads and paths in cities, towns, and rural areas.

 

Highway lighting
The expressway is the road connecting the city and the city, and the road connecting the city and the countryside. In this case, there will be no non-motorized lanes for motor vehicles and pedestrians. In addition, the road surface of the expressway is very smooth, there are no obvious potholes, the road condition is maintained well, and the safety factor is high. Therefore, most highways do not need to install street lights. At the same time, considering that the cost is too high, it is not suitable to install street lights on the highway.

 

Intersection lighting
These types of street lights are often used at road and street intersections so that drivers must make quick decisions when they spot potential hazards. In this case, led street lights should be placed at intervals to keep the light even and eliminate the driver's eyestrain. When necessary, high mast lights can be set up at intersections to provide necessary lighting for drivers and pedestrians.

 

Square lighting
Squares are an important part of people's lives, people spend more time dancing/chatting/playing in squares at night, so square lighting has become very necessary. Plaza lighting usually uses led area lights and led flood lights, but there are also many led street light manufacturers that have also developed light distributions suitable for plaza lighting to reduce costs and expand the variety of product functions.

 

Parking lot lighting
With the development of the economy, automobiles have become the main means of transportation for the public. Some shopping malls, supermarkets, and hospitals will be equipped with parking lots to provide convenience for people, and the parking lot lighting is thus generated. Good parking lot lighting not only protects pedestrians but also makes a good impression to protect your business. Led street lights and post-top lights provide bright, energy-efficient lighting for parking lots of all sizes. Different parking lots also require lights with various mounting options, including straight-arm pole mounts, adjustable skid mounts, wall mounts, and more.

 

Outdoor industrial and logistics area lighting
We know that any large warehouse and logistics area has a lot of space in front of the entrance to facilitate the passage of vehicles through the area. Therefore, this large space needs to be illuminated by lamps at night to avoid the existence of dark areas, otherwise, it may increase the driver's blind spot and increase potential risks. At the same time, the loading and unloading area also needs enough lighting to guide the driver, which is also convenient for workers to load and unload goods.

 

Application of Street Light

What Are the Materials of Street Light Poles

 

Cement street light poles
More than ten years ago, cement street light poles were very common, mainly attached to urban power towers, too heavy, large transportation costs, unstable foundations, prone to accidents, and now they are basically eliminated.

 

Iron street light poles
The railway light pole is made of high-quality Q235 steel, and the appearance is sprayed with anti-corrosion, hot-dip galvanized, and very hard, which is also the most common and most used street lamp pole in the current street lamp market.

 

Fiberglass street light poles
FRP lamp pole is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance and a wide variety, which has good heat resistance, insulation and corrosion resistance, but poor wear resistance and brittleness, so it is in the market. The application is not widespread.

 

Aluminum alloy street light pole
Aluminum alloy street lamp pole is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, aluminum alloy has high strength, super corrosion resistance, and is very beautiful, the surface is more high-grade, in addition, aluminum alloy is easier to process than pure aluminum, high durability, wide range of applications, good decorative effect, widely used in the street lamp pole industry, exported to foreign countries.

 

Stainless steel street light pole
Stainless steel poles are high-quality steel second only to titanium alloys, which have the properties of chemical and galvanic corrosion resistance. Regular manufacturers generally use hot-dip galvanizing for the surface treatment of the lamp pole, and the service life of the hot-dip galvanized lamp pole can reach 15 years, which is much lower than that of cold galvanizing.

What Is the Difference Between Solar Street Light Pole and Street Light Pole

 

Different power supply
Regular street lights are powered by electricity, so wires will go through the poles, so there will be a electrician door for wire connection. And solar street lights are powered by the battery, so there is no need for maintenance in the bottom part of the poles.

 

Structure
Solar street light poles will have a separate mounting brackets for solar panel, while the regular street light poles don't have.

 

Maintenance
Because solar panels or the batteries need to be replaced periodically, the solar street light poles require more maintenance.

 

Thickness
The solar panel is very big size especially when the solar street light watt is up to 80w or 100w. And with big solar panel on the top, when typhoon comes, both the poles and the solar panel brackets need to be stronger to ensure the whole structure will be stable.
