Height of lamp post

Street lamp post refers to the post used to support street lamps, which is generally made of metal or concrete. Its height is usually determined according to actual needs and design requirements. The following will introduce some common pole heights.

First of all, the height of the lamp post is related to the grade and width of the road. On urban main roads and expressway, the height of lampposts is generally high, ranging from 8m to12m. This is because the traffic volume of these roads is large, and higher lamp posts are needed to provide sufficient lighting range to ensure driving safety.

Secondly, the height of the lamp post is also related to the lighting equipment used. Traditional street lamps generally use high-pressure sodium lamps or fluorescent lamps, and the lighting range of these lamps is small, so the height of street lamp poles is generally between 6 meters and 8 meters. Modern LED street lamps have high brightness and good lighting effect, which can provide a wider lighting range, so the height of street lamp poles can be appropriately reduced.

In addition, the height of the lamp post is also affected by the surrounding environment. On narrow streets or sidewalks, the height of lamp posts is generally low, generally between 3 meters and 5 meters. This is to avoid the visual oppression caused by high lamp posts and to consider the safety of pedestrians.

Finally, the height of the light pole also needs to consider the convenience of maintenance and installation. Higher lampposts need special equipment for installation and maintenance, while lower lampposts are more convenient. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider these factors in the actual design to determine the most suitable lamp post height.

In short, the height of the lamp post is determined according to the road grade, lighting equipment, surrounding environment and ease of maintenance. Different roads and scenes need lamp posts with different heights to provide appropriate lighting effects and ensure the safety of traffic and pedestrians.
