Installation Height of Integrated Solar Street Lights
Installation Height of Integrated Solar Street Lights
The illumination intensity, road width, and road spacing of integrated solar street lights are interrelated factors that determine the lighting effect and coverage of solar street lights. These factors must be comprehensively considered when designing and installing solar street lights to meet lighting needs and ensure pedestrian and vehicle safety. Recommended Installation Height of Integrated Solar Street Lights: The installation height of solar street lights is generally related to factors such as the power of the street light, the illumination range, and the road width.
Generally speaking, lower-power solar street lights are suitable for installation at lower locations, while higher-power street lights require installation at higher locations to ensure adequate illumination coverage. Recommended installation heights for integrated solar street lights: Small roads and sidewalks 4-5 meters wide: Install 3-5 meters high, 30-60 watt street lights; General urban roads: Install 6-8 meters high, 80-100 watt integrated solar street lights; Main roads and expressways: Install 8-15 meters high light poles, 100-150 watt solar street lights; Highways: Install 15-25 meters high light poles, 150-300 watt solar street lights. Lighting illumination: According to the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), road lighting illumination should be determined based on factors such as road type, traffic flow, and surrounding environment.
Here are some recommended illumination standards: Residential roads: 5-15 lux; Commercial roads: 15-30 lux; Main roads and expressways: 30-60 lux; Highways: 60-120 lux. Road width and spacing: The width and spacing of solar street lights should be determined based on factors such as road type, traffic flow, and installation height. Generally speaking, the wider the road, the greater the number of streetlights required and the higher the installation height. Based on experience, the following recommended road spacings are: Small roads and sidewalks: 15-20 meters; General urban roads: 20-30 meters; Main roads and expressways: 30-40 meters; Expressways: 40-60 meters. Please note that these recommendations are for reference only and may require adjustment during installation based on local regulations, climate conditions, and specific lighting requirements. To ensure lighting effectiveness and safety, it is recommended to consult a professional lighting engineer or adhere to relevant national and industry standards when designing and installing solar streetlights. Installation Layout Assessment
1. Based on the road width and lighting requirements, select an installation layout:
a. Single-sided arrangement
b. Double-sided staggered arrangement
c. Double-sided symmetrical arrangement
Foundation Implementation
Groundwork foundation pouring: The pre-buried pit for the solar streetlights should be 400x400x800mm, with the anchor bolts protruding 100mm above the ground (see Figure 1). Concrete should be used for pouring; the anchor bolts must be parallel to the road surface and the pouring surface must be flat to prevent the fixture from tilting. The embedded parts need to be cured before the light pole can be installed (about 4-6 days).
