The variety of streetlights is truly vast. While businesses are well aware of the different types of streetlights, many customers may not be familiar with them. So, what categories do streetlights fall into?
Streetlights refer to fixtures that provide lighting for roads, encompassing all types of lighting equipment within the range of traffic illumination. They are widely used in various places that require lighting. Here, we will introduce the types of streetlights.
Types of Streetlights
Streetlights are typically classified based on the shape of the light they emit. According to the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), the classification is suggested based on three criteria: projection, extension, and control.
1. Projection: This indicates the degree to which the light emitted from the fixture spreads along the length of the road, classified into short, medium, and long.
2. Extension: This indicates the degree to which the light spreads across the width of the road, classified into narrow, general, and wide.
3. Control: This indicates the degree to which the fixture controls glare, classified into limited, moderate, and strict.
The installation methods for streetlights include bracket type, high pole type, straight pole type, suspended cable type, and wall-mounted type.
1. Based on height: high pole lights, medium pole lights, road lights, courtyard lights, lawn lights, and in-ground lights.
2. Based on pole material: hot-dip galvanized iron streetlights, hot-dip galvanized steel streetlights, and stainless steel streetlights.
3. Based on light source: sodium streetlights, LED streetlights, energy-saving streetlights, and new types of xenon streetlights.
4. Based on design: Chinese lanterns, antique lamps, landscape lights, single-arm streetlights, and double-arm streetlights.
5. Based on power supply: grid-powered streetlights, solar streetlights, and wind-solar hybrid streetlights.
6. Based on light source: sodium streetlights, LED streetlights, energy-saving streetlights, and new types of xenon streetlights.
Streetlights can be installed at a lower height compared to high pole lights, and they are commonly installed on roads. The light sources used for streetlights have now transitioned from the traditional sodium lights to the more commonly used LED streetlights or solar streetlights. LED streetlights utilize diodes for illumination, combined with advanced technology as an innovation applied to streetlights. This technology has gained recognition and has been implemented in practice. Solar streetlights harness solar energy to generate electricity, eliminating the need for cumbersome cable installation, making them environmentally friendly and energy-saving, which is the direction for future development.
