As a common device in modern urban lighting systems, aluminum profile pole lights are widely used in streets, squares, parks and other places because of their lightness, durability and flexible design. Over time, the use of aluminum profile pole lights will face the test of some environmental factors, especially ultraviolet radiation and aging problems, which will not only affect the appearance of the lamps, but also their functions and performance.
Ultraviolet radiation is an important factor affecting the durability of many outdoor equipment. The ultraviolet rays in the sun can directly act on the outer surface of the aluminum profile pole lamp, causing the surface material to gradually fade, yellow, and even crack and fall off. In order to deal with this problem, aluminum profile pole lamps usually use different surface treatment technologies, such as anodizing. Anodizing can not only increase the hardness and wear resistance of the aluminum alloy surface, but also form a protective film on the surface to enhance its anti-ultraviolet ability. This film can effectively prevent the intrusion of ultraviolet rays, thereby reducing the direct damage of ultraviolet rays to the aluminum profile pole lamp and extending the service life of the lamp.
In addition to anodizing, there are also some aluminum profile pole lamps on the market that use special coating technologies in the production process. These coatings can effectively block ultraviolet radiation and prevent the surface oxidation of aluminum alloy materials to a certain extent. The coating is usually composed of highly weather-resistant polyurethane or other UV-resistant materials, which can enhance the UV resistance of the lamp pole within a certain range. These coatings can not only keep the appearance color of the aluminum profile pole lamp lasting and bright, but also effectively avoid fading and aging problems caused by long-term exposure to sunlight.
The impact of ultraviolet rays on aluminum profile pole lamps is not limited to the surface. Over time, the long-term effect of ultraviolet rays will gradually penetrate into the interior of the lamp, affecting the performance of internal materials and electrical components. Therefore, when designing some aluminum profile pole lamps, in addition to paying attention to surface UV treatment, special lining or sealing designs are also used to ensure that ultraviolet rays will not easily penetrate the shell and reduce damage to the internal structure.
Anti-aging is another important factor that determines the long-term use effect of aluminum profile pole lamps. Aluminum alloy materials themselves have good corrosion resistance, but under long-term exposure to the external environment, especially under high humidity, salt spray or extreme climate conditions, the aging resistance of aluminum profile pole lamps is still a test. In order to improve the anti-aging performance, aluminum profile pole lamps usually adopt some special surface treatment technologies. For example, the surface of anodized aluminum pole lights will form a uniform and dense oxide film, which can not only effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion, but also increase the wear resistance of the material, avoiding functional failure due to aging during long-term use.
Some aluminum pole lights will also take measures in their design to ensure that the lamps can adapt to extreme climate changes. Whether in high or low temperature environments, the anti-aging performance of aluminum pole lights will affect their normal operation. For this reason, manufacturers will select aluminum alloy materials with high temperature resistance, and use high-quality sealants, connectors and anti-corrosion coatings in the production process to ensure that aluminum pole lights can still maintain good performance in extreme environments and avoid aging problems.

With the continuous advancement of urbanization, street lamps, as part of urban infrastructure, undertake the important task of night lighting. However, the power consumption and energy waste of traditional street lamps have also attracted more and more attention. In response to the call for green energy and energy conservation and emission reduction, the design and use of modern street light poles have gradually turned to energy conservation and environmental protection. By introducing new energy technologies and intelligent control systems, the power consumption of street light poles is gradually decreasing, helping cities achieve more sustainable energy utilization.
In the design of traditional street lamps, light sources such as high-pressure sodium lamps or metal halide lamps are often used. Although these lamps can provide sufficient lighting brightness, they consume a lot of electricity, and most of the energy is wasted in the form of heat. With the advancement of technology, more and more cities are beginning to adopt LED street lamps. LED lamps have higher light efficiency and lower energy consumption than traditional light sources. LED street lamps greatly reduce the waste of electricity through more efficient electrical energy conversion, and can consume less electricity under the same brightness conditions. This energy-saving feature gives LED street lamps a clear advantage in energy conservation and emission reduction.
The introduction of intelligent control systems also provides an optimized solution for the power consumption of street lamps. Smart street light poles are equipped with light sensors, motion sensors, and remote control systems, which can automatically adjust the brightness according to changes in ambient light and the activities of pedestrians and vehicles. For example, when no one or vehicle passes by, the street light will automatically lower the brightness to reduce power consumption; when pedestrians or vehicles pass by, the street light will automatically return to normal brightness. This intelligent adjustment not only improves the efficiency of energy use, but also extends the service life of street lights.
The application of green energy is also an important aspect of reducing the power consumption of street light poles. More and more street lights are beginning to be equipped with solar panels, especially in sunny areas. By collecting sunlight during the day and converting it into electricity for nighttime lighting, street lights can operate without relying on traditional power grids. This use of green energy greatly reduces dependence on fossil energy, while also reducing power consumption and carbon emissions. Although the initial investment of solar street lights is high, in the long run, due to its zero-electricity operation mode, it can reduce energy expenses while contributing to environmental protection.
In addition to solar energy, some street light poles have also begun to combine wind power generation systems, especially in areas with abundant wind resources. Through wind power generation, street light poles can use wind energy to provide electricity without grid access, further reducing dependence on traditional electricity and promoting the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.
In the process of popularizing these energy-saving and environmentally friendly street light technologies, there are also some challenges. Although the use of LED and green energy can significantly reduce electricity consumption, the initial installation and technical transformation costs are high, which may put pressure on the budget for some cities and regions. Although the application of intelligent control systems and green energy technologies can optimize electricity use to a certain extent, their performance is greatly affected by environmental conditions. For example, the efficiency of solar and wind energy is affected by climate change.

The strength of Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles largely depends on the type of steel used in their construction. Steel, as a material, is known for its exceptional tensile strength, which is the ability to withstand pulling or stretching forces without breaking. Most manufacturers use high-grade steel alloys for these poles, ensuring a robust structure capable of bearing significant loads. High-strength steel alloys can withstand stress from both static loads, such as the weight of the light fixtures and poles themselves, and dynamic loads, such as wind or traffic-induced forces. The specific composition of steel used, including elements like carbon, chromium, and manganese, can further enhance its resistance to corrosion and fatigue, thereby extending the life and load-bearing capacity of the pole. This material choice ensures the pole is highly resistant to both physical wear and environmental degradation.
One of the defining features of Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles is their customized structural design. The shape of these poles is not merely aesthetic but plays a crucial role in their performance under load. Many unique designs, such as conical, hexagonal, or triangular cross-sections, are optimized for load distribution. These shapes ensure that weight and external forces are efficiently spread along the entire length of the pole. The structural design prevents localized stress points that could lead to bending, cracking, or failure under heavy loads. For example, a tapered design increases stability by concentrating strength at the base of the pole, allowing it to support heavier loads without compromising its integrity. This optimization allows these poles to resist bending or tilting, even under considerable pressure, ensuring they maintain their structural integrity over time.
Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles are often designed with additional load-bearing capabilities to support various supplementary equipment, such as traffic cameras, signage, security lights, or even solar panels. These poles are capable of bearing these additional loads due to their customized design and the use of reinforced sections or mounting platforms. For instance, the pole may have dedicated attachment points or pre-engineered brackets to securely hold these devices without compromising the pole's stability. This capability to support multiple attachments without losing load-bearing capacity is essential in urban environments, where light poles need to perform multifunctional roles. The engineering behind these poles ensures that each additional component is securely mounted, maintaining the overall structural integrity of the pole.
The load-bearing capacity of Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles is also influenced by their ability to withstand various environmental forces, including wind, snow, and ice. Steel’s natural resistance to environmental wear and tear is enhanced by thoughtful design considerations, such as aerodynamic shapes and reinforced joints. Aerodynamic shapes help reduce the wind load acting on the pole by allowing air to flow more smoothly around it, reducing drag and minimizing the forces exerted on the structure. Reinforced cross-sections allow these poles to absorb wind forces better, reducing the likelihood of bending or collapsing under strong gusts. In regions where snow and ice accumulation are concerns, the poles are often designed to support snow loads, ensuring that the weight of accumulated snow does not cause the structure to collapse. By mitigating these environmental forces, Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles maintain their ability to carry loads over extended periods without significant risk of failure.
In addition to static loads, Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles are also engineered to handle dynamic loads—forces that are applied suddenly or variably, such as those caused by wind gusts, vehicle impacts, or seismic activities. These poles are designed with elastic properties that allow them to absorb and dissipate sudden forces, preventing them from failing under extreme conditions. For example, the use of flexible joints or shock-absorbing materials in the base of the pole can help reduce the impact of dynamic forces. By distributing these forces throughout the structure, the poles avoid damage and maintain their load-bearing capacity. This is particularly important in areas prone to high winds, heavy traffic, or even seismic events, where dynamic loads can significantly impact the pole’s ability to maintain structural integrity.

The unique shape of these steel light poles can be designed to enhance the efficiency of light distribution. For instance, by incorporating angular designs, specific curves, or asymmetrical shapes, the light emitted from the pole can be more precisely directed to the intended area, thereby reducing wasteful light spill. This targeted light distribution helps ensure that streets, pedestrian areas, and public spaces receive adequate illumination without over-lighting. This contributes directly to energy savings, as light is used more efficiently, and unnecessary energy consumption is minimized. In comparison to traditional poles, which may disperse light inefficiently, unique-shaped poles help to achieve optimal light coverage with lower wattage and fewer fixtures.
Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles are often designed with modern, energy-efficient lighting technologies in mind. Most notably, these poles can be designed to support LED lighting, which consumes significantly less energy compared to conventional incandescent, halogen, or sodium vapor lamps. LEDs offer several advantages: they use up to 80% less energy, have longer lifespans, and provide more focused and consistent light. By incorporating LED fixtures, the poles reduce the total power consumption of the lighting system, contributing to lower operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint. The poles can be engineered to support solar-powered lights, which rely on renewable energy, further enhancing the system’s energy efficiency and sustainability.
The potential for solar integration is one of the most prominent benefits of Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles. These poles can be designed with a built-in platform or support structure for solar panels, allowing them to harness solar energy during daylight hours. The solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which is stored in batteries for use at night, powering the street lights without relying on the local electrical grid. This system greatly reduces the consumption of grid-based energy, leading to significant savings on electricity costs and minimizing the environmental impact of lighting operations. By utilizing renewable energy sources, these poles not only contribute to energy efficiency but also support broader sustainability goals by reducing reliance on non-renewable power.
Steel is inherently a strong and durable material, and when used in the construction of light poles, it results in structures that require less frequent maintenance compared to poles made from materials like wood or aluminum. The robust nature of steel ensures that Unique Shaped Steel Light Poles are less susceptible to wear and tear from environmental factors such as wind, moisture, and corrosion. Many of these poles are treated with corrosion-resistant coatings, ensuring their long-term durability in harsh conditions. The reduced frequency of maintenance means that the lighting system remains operational for longer periods without requiring costly repairs or replacements.
The unique design of these steel poles can also incorporate features that make them more resistant to severe weather conditions. Many unique shapes are aerodynamic, which helps reduce wind resistance, making the poles more resilient to high winds. Additionally, some designs incorporate reinforced structures that can withstand heavy snow loads, ice, or even seismic activity. These added design features prevent damage to the poles, ensuring they remain standing and functional even during adverse weather. This structural resilience reduces the likelihood of pole failure or light outages, ensuring that the system’s energy-efficient lighting continues to operate without interruptions. By reducing the frequency of failures and the need for emergency repairs, these poles contribute to the overall reliability and energy efficiency of the system.

Interweaving of light and shadow, reshaping the texture of space
The soft light is like a delicate painter, using light and shadow to outline the delicate texture of the outdoor space. When the light is sprinkled on the stone path, the mottled light and shadow rise and fall with the footsteps, as if spreading a dynamic abstract painting on the ground; when the light penetrates the gaps between the leaves and is projected on the wall or the ground, it forms a piece of smart light spots, swaying with the breeze, and the space instantly becomes vivid and poetic. This interweaving of light and shadow not only weakens the coldness of the hard landscape, but also gives the space a flowing rhythm, making people feel as if they are in a dreamland where nature and art blend.
Focus and blank space, construct visual narrative
The clever layout of the garden light pole can construct a tense visual narrative through the contrast of "focus" and "blank space". For example, a well-designed light pole can accurately project light on the sculpture in the center of the courtyard, making it the visual focus in the night, while the surrounding area remains relatively dark, forming a dramatic effect of "stars holding the moon". This design not only highlights the artistic value of landscape elements, but also guides the viewer's line of sight through the contrast of light and shadow, allowing people to gradually discover the level and depth of space during exploration. Appropriate blank space gives the space a sense of breathing, avoids the sense of oppression caused by excessive lighting, and allows people to feel tranquility and freedom in the ups and downs of light and shadow.
Dialogue between light and dark, strengthening the boundaries of space
The soft light can cleverly define the boundaries of space through the contrast of light and dark, while maintaining harmonious coexistence with nature. For example, on both sides of the path in the garden, the low lamp poles emit a warm halo, which not only provides guidance for pedestrians, but also implies the turning and extension of the path through the gradual change of light. This design not only enhances the guidance of the space, but also blurs the boundaries between artificial and natural through the transition of light and shadow, allowing people to feel an intimate connection with nature while walking. On the terrace or leisure area, the brightness and range of the light are carefully controlled, which not only ensures privacy, but also introduces the external landscape into the room through the penetration of light, forming a spatial experience of "inside and outside integration".
Temperature and emotion, giving the space a soul
The color temperature and brightness of the light are the key to shaping the emotional atmosphere of the space. Warm yellow light is like the afterglow of the setting sun, conveying warmth and tranquility, making people feel a sense of belonging to home at night; while cold white light is like the mist in the morning, bringing freshness and transparency, suitable for use in summer or in scenes that need to be refreshed. By adjusting the color temperature of the light, the garden light pole can flexibly adapt to the needs of different seasons and scenes, such as using warm light to create a warm atmosphere in winter and using cold light to add a cool feeling in summer. The dynamic changes of light (such as gradients and flashes) can also inject vitality into the space, such as creating a festive atmosphere through colorful lights during festivals, making the outdoor space a carrier of emotional expression.
Materials and craftsmanship, highlighting quality and details
The design of the garden light pole is not only reflected in the light and shadow effects, but also through the selection of materials and craftsmanship, showing the pursuit of quality and details. Modern light poles are mostly made of weather-resistant materials (such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel or composite materials), which can resist wind and rain erosion and maintain long-term beauty and functionality. At the same time, the surface treatment of the lamp pole (such as frosting, painting or electroplating) not only improves the corrosion resistance, but also adds a sense of refinement to the space through delicate texture and gloss. The design of the lampshade is also critical. Materials with good light transmittance (such as glass, acrylic or fabric) can evenly scatter light and avoid glare interference. At the same time, the changes in shape and texture can add an artistic atmosphere to the light.
Sustainability and technology lead the future aesthetics
Today, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the design of garden lamp poles also pays more attention to the integration of sustainability and technology. The popularity of LED light sources enables lamp poles to achieve more precise light control and richer color performance while reducing energy consumption. The application of solar power supply systems allows lamp poles to get rid of their dependence on the power grid and become "green lighting" in the true sense. The addition of intelligent dimming technology (such as induction control, timer switch or mobile phone APP remote control) not only improves the convenience of use, but also injects a sense of modern technology into outdoor space through the dynamic changes of light. For example, through induction technology, the lamp pole can automatically light up when someone passes by and automatically turn off when no one is around, which is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and adds a sense of intelligent fun.
Culture and artistic conception, inheriting spatial memory
The design of garden light poles can also be integrated with regional culture or personal emotions, becoming a carrier of spatial memory. For example, in traditional Chinese courtyards, the shape of the light poles can draw on the elements of classical lanterns, and create a simple and elegant atmosphere through bamboo or paper lampshades; while in modern minimalist gardens, the light poles can use minimalist lines and geometric shapes, and convey tranquility and Zen through the simple expression of light and shadow. Light poles can also be customized to incorporate family stories or personal aesthetic preferences, such as engraving family emblems or commemorative texts on the light poles, so that the light becomes the sustenance and inheritance of emotions.
1. Physical lighting: Eliminate visual blind spots and build a basic safety barrier
The original function of street light poles is to provide nighttime visibility, but their design logic is far from being as simple as "lighting up the road". Traditional street lights often form "darkness under the lights" or "dark areas on the edge of the road" due to excessive spacing, unreasonable height or uneven light distribution, providing cover for criminal behavior and traffic accidents. Modern street light poles achieve a balance between "no dead angle coverage" and "on-demand lighting" through light distribution optimization and dynamic dimming technology. For example, LED street lights with polarized lenses can accurately control the angle of light projection to avoid glare interfering with the driver's vision, while focusing the light beam on the road surface to reduce light pollution.
At the crime prevention level, the visual deterrent effect of street light poles has been widely verified. American criminology research shows that crime rates in areas with good nighttime lighting drop by an average of 20%-30%. This stems from the "natural surveillance theory": bright environments expose potential criminals to the public's view, increasing the risk of being witnessed. Furthermore, some street light poles are integrated with human infrared sensors. When abnormal stillness or wandering behavior is detected, the local lighting intensity can be automatically enhanced to form a "psychological deterrent field".
2. Technology empowerment: from passive lighting to active safety defense
The intelligent transformation of street light poles has upgraded them from simple "light providers" to "safety managers". The core of this transformation lies in the integration of multimodal sensor integration and edge computing capabilities. For example, the panoramic camera mounted on the top of the street light pole can monitor the surrounding environment 360 degrees without blind spots, identify abnormal behaviors such as fighting and theft through AI algorithms, and push them to the police platform in real time. The London "Smart Street Light" project even uses behavioral pattern analysis to warn potential mass incidents in advance, shortening the night alarm response time by 40%.
In the field of transportation, the linkage between street light poles and vehicle-road cooperative systems (V2X) can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. For example, when a street light pole detects that a vehicle is speeding or deviating from the lane, it will not only prompt the driver through the ground projection warning light, but also send warning information to the vehicle terminal to achieve "human-vehicle-road" collaborative safety. Environmental sensors built into street light poles (such as air quality, temperature and humidity, and noise monitoring) can sense urban microclimates in real time. When extreme weather such as haze and heavy rain is detected, the lighting brightness and color temperature are automatically adjusted to improve the visual recognition of drivers.
3. Resilient design: cope with extreme environments and ensure continuous safety
City nighttime safety not only depends on daily operations, but also tests stability in disasters or crises. The disaster-resistant design of street light poles has become a key consideration in modern urban planning. For example, street light poles in earthquake-prone areas in Japan adopt a double-layer earthquake-resistant structure: the outer layer is a high-strength aluminum alloy pole body, and the inner layer is embedded with a rubber buffer layer, which can withstand the impact of a magnitude 9 earthquake; a built-in supercapacitor energy storage system ensures that lighting can continue for 72 hours after power failure. This design not only guarantees the lighting needs of post-disaster rescue, but also reduces the risk of secondary disasters.
In terms of dealing with extreme weather, the wind and flood prevention capabilities of street light poles are equally important. Street light poles in coastal cities generally adopt streamlined designs and weighted bases to withstand a level 12 typhoon; the drainage channels reserved on the pole body can quickly drain accumulated water and prevent electrical short circuits. Furthermore, some street light poles are integrated with water level monitoring modules. When flooding is detected, the alarm can be automatically triggered and the power can be turned off to avoid electric shock accidents.
4. Data-driven: From experience-based decision-making to precise governance
The intelligence of street light poles is not only reflected in the hardware level, but also in its value as a city data node. By integrating cameras, sensors and communication modules, street light poles can collect multi-dimensional data such as traffic flow, pedestrian flow, and environmental parameters in real time to build a "digital twin" of urban night safety. For example, in Singapore's "Smart Nation" plan, the street light pole network analyzes historical data to predict high-incidence areas and time periods of nighttime crimes, and guides the police to accurately deploy defenses; at the same time, combined with weather forecasts and holiday information, the lighting strategy is dynamically adjusted to achieve "optimal configuration of safety resources."
This data-driven governance model is also reflected in the intelligence of emergency response. When street light poles detect disasters such as fires and earthquakes, they can automatically switch to "emergency mode": start high-brightness warning lights, play evacuation broadcasts, and link surrounding traffic lights to form a "three-in-one" emergency response system. For example, during the 2023 Türkiye earthquake, some smart street light poles used self-organizing network technology to maintain 72 hours of emergency lighting and information release even when communications were interrupted.

In the daily maintenance of LED street lights, climate conditions play a vital role. Different climate environments can have a significant impact on the performance and service life of LED street lights. Therefore, maintenance personnel must fully understand these environmental factors to develop effective maintenance strategies.
In high temperature environments, the electrical components of LED street lights face the risk of accelerated aging. High temperature not only affects the heat dissipation system of the lamp, but also may cause the internal temperature to be too high, which has a negative impact on the performance of the chip, resulting in increased light decay and even equipment failure. Therefore, in the hot summer, maintenance personnel need to strengthen the inspection and cleaning of the heat dissipation system to ensure that the heat dissipation holes and heat sinks are unobstructed and avoid the accumulation of dust and debris. At the same time, regularly monitor the internal temperature of the lamp. If an abnormal increase is found, timely measures should be taken, such as increasing the speed of the cooling fan or improving the ventilation conditions of the lamp to ensure its normal operation.
Low temperature environments also affect the performance of LED street lights. In cold areas, low temperatures may cause battery performance to decline, thereby affecting the startup and normal operation of the lamp. In addition, in low temperature environments, some sealing materials may become brittle, resulting in reduced sealing of the lamp, which in turn causes problems such as water ingress and condensation. Therefore, before the winter comes, maintenance personnel should conduct a comprehensive inspection of street lamps, especially batteries and sealing parts, to ensure that the batteries are in good working condition and that the sealing materials are not aged or cracked. For lamps that may condense, it is recommended to take measures to add desiccant or improve ventilation to prevent moisture from damaging electrical components.
Humidity environment is also crucial for the maintenance of LED street lamps. High humidity environment easily causes moisture inside the lamp, which may cause problems such as electrical short circuit and corrosion. Especially in coastal areas or humid southern cities, street lamps are in high humidity environments for a long time, and maintenance personnel need to strengthen the inspection of the sealing of lamps to ensure that they are waterproof and moisture-proof. At the same time, the electrical components inside the lamps should be checked regularly. If signs of moisture or corrosion are found, they should be replaced or repaired in time. In addition, in a humid environment, care should be taken to prevent mold growth on the surface of the lamp, which not only affects the lighting effect, but also affects the aesthetics.
Harsh environmental factors such as wind, sand and dust will also affect the maintenance of LED street lamps. In areas with strong winds and sand, dust and sand are easily accumulated on the surface and heat dissipation system of lamps, which not only affects the lighting effect of the lamps, but also hinders heat dissipation, causing the temperature of the lamps to rise. Therefore, maintenance personnel need to clean the lamps regularly, especially the surface and heat dissipation holes of the lamps, to ensure that the lamps can dissipate heat normally. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the sealing structure of the lamps is intact to prevent wind and sand from entering the interior of the lamps and causing damage to the electrical components.

Electrical safety is a core element in the design and application of LED street lights. As an electronic device, the complex electrical system of the power line, signal line and control line inside the LED street light, if there are design defects, aging, damage or poor connection, it is very easy to cause short circuit or overload, resulting in serious safety accidents such as fire. Therefore, in the purchase and installation process of LED street lights, the quality of the power supply must be strictly controlled. The power supply should pass relevant certifications such as 3C, CE, UL, etc. to ensure that it can operate safely and stably in high temperature environments. At the same time, when choosing cables, brands that have passed 3C certification should be given priority. Copper wire is especially recommended because it has better conductivity and stability than inferior aluminum-clad copper wire.
When installing LED street lights, it is crucial to follow strict safety regulations. The power supply should be installed inside the street light and fixed, and must not be exposed to sunlight in an external way to avoid aging and damage of the power supply due to factors such as high temperature and ultraviolet rays, thereby causing safety hazards. The protection level of the power supply must reach IP67 and be potted to effectively prevent power failure caused by moisture or salt spray. In addition, the connection between the power supply and the accessible metal parts of the street lamp must be good to ensure the reliability of the electrical connection. The insulation voltage and insulation resistance of the power supply must also comply with relevant standards. For example, the insulation voltage requirement for input to output is 3.75kV AC/10mA, the insulation voltage for input to safety ground is 1.5kV AC/10mA, and the insulation resistance of input to output and output to safety ground must reach ≥10MΩ/500V DC/90% RH.
In terms of wiring, there are also many safety precautions for the power connection line of LED street lights. The power connection line at the input end should be a soft cable with a wire diameter of 1mm2, usually a 3×1mm soft cable; and the power connection line at the output end should also be a soft cable with a wire diameter of 0.75mm2, usually a 2×0.75mm soft cable. The input line should use a soft cable or soft wire, and be equipped with a soft wire fixing frame to clamp the soft cable or soft wire to prevent the line from loosening or being damaged due to external force. The wire ends of the input lines can be tinned or coppered, or insulated terminals can be installed (placed in the street light power box). The internal wiring should be protected by yellow wax tubes. If the wires need to be connected, wire connectors should be used as much as possible. All wires should be fixed with nylon cable ties to ensure that the lines are neat and firm.
In addition to electrical safety and installation specifications, the physical structure safety of LED street lights cannot be ignored. LED street lights are usually composed of multiple modules. If these modules are not installed firmly or are subjected to external forces, they may fall off or fall over, posing a potential threat to pedestrians and vehicles passing by. Therefore, during the installation process, it is necessary to ensure that the mechanical loading of the lamp meets the standards. For example, the mechanical loading should reach 4 times the weight, and the suspension system should not be deformed under a constant load for 1 hour. In addition, a 60N tensile force and a 0.25N·m torque test are required to ensure the stability of the lamp under various environmental conditions.
