1. Lamp pole system

Rod body: The main supporting structure is mostly a conical or polygonal steel structure, with a height usually between 15 meters and 50 meters. The surface is treated with hot-dip galvanizing and spray coating to enhance its anti-corrosion performance.

Base: A concrete foundation for fixing the lamp post, with embedded parts (anchor bolts) to ensure overall stability.

Access door: located at the bottom of the lamp post, providing access for internal cables and lifting systems.

Flange: A detachable component that connects the lamp post to the base, facilitating transportation and installation.

 

2. Lamp panel

Bracket structure: Aluminum alloy or steel frame, used to fix lamps and reflectors, designed to consider wind resistance and weight distribution.

Light source: High power LED lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps, or metal halide lamps are commonly used, and modern designs tend to be energy-saving and long-lasting.

Protective cover: Made of transparent and durable PC or glass material, with a protection level usually above IP65, dustproof and waterproof.

Reflector/lens: Optimize light distribution, improve lighting efficiency, and avoid light pollution.

 

3. Lifting system

Electric/hydraulic drive device: The motor or hydraulic pump provides power, and some high pole lights use manual handle backup.

Wire rope/chain: connecting the lamp panel and the driving device, it needs to have high strength and corrosion resistance.

Pulley block: a guiding and transmission component that reduces friction loss and ensures smooth lifting.

Limit switch: prevents the lamp panel from lifting beyond the safe range and triggering an automatic stop.

 

4. Power supply system

Cable: Built in or externally laid on the inner wall of the lamp post, connecting the distribution box and the lighting fixtures.

Distribution box: Integrated circuit breakers, fuses and other protective devices, some equipped with smart meters.

Lightning protection device: The top lightning rod is combined with the grounding system (grounding electrode, copper cable) to prevent lightning damage.

Emergency power supply: optional solar panels or batteries for emergency lighting.

 

5. Control system

Time control/light control module: Automatically turn on and off lighting fixtures based on preset time or ambient light.

Remote monitoring: Implementing remote fault diagnosis and brightness adjustment through Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

Manual operation panel: located inside the maintenance door, used for local control and parameter settings.

 

6. Safety and protective devices

Windproof design: The lamp panel can rotate 360 ° to reduce wind resistance, or the pole structure can be reinforced to resist strong winds.

Warning sign: The lamp post is coated with reflective strips or aviation obstruction lights to ensure low altitude flight safety.

Fall prevention device: Automatically locks when the steel wire rope breaks to prevent the lamp panel from falling.

Additional features (optional)

Environmental monitoring: integrated camera, temperature and humidity sensor, air quality detection module.

Advertising display screen: An LED screen is installed in the middle of the lamp post for information dissemination.

Wireless network nodes: provide public Wi Fi or 5G signal coverage.

Materials and processes

Steel: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel to ensure structural stability.

Surface treatment: hot-dip galvanizing (thickness ≥ 85μm)+polyester powder coating (≥100μm) to extend service life.

Sealing design: A silicone sealing ring is used at the interface between the lamp panel and the rod to prevent rainwater from seeping in.
