Any device or object, after years of use, needs regular part replacements. This is because parts can wear out or age over time. Many highway departments now purchase high mast lamps, so they also need to send personnel to regularly maintain and care for these streetlights.
1. Replacement of Damaged Bulbs
High mast lamps need to stand outdoors for years, enduring various harsh weather conditions. As a result, parts of the lamps, including the lampshade, can age due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and wind. This necessitates regular maintenance and replacement, particularly the main component—the bulb.
2. Replacement of Aging Bulbs
The damage caused by heavy rain can not only break the bulb but also accelerate the aging of the bulbs in high mast lamps, even if they are not broken. Regular inspection and maintenance are required, with aging bulbs needing to be replaced. Although aging bulbs can still illuminate, factors such as burnt filaments can lead to reduced brightness.
3. Annual Replacement
If conditions allow, it is necessary to replace the bulbs of high mast lamps annually. Bulbs have a limited lifespan, and even if they have not been damaged within one or two years, their brightness may decrease. Additionally, prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain can lessen the transparency of the lampshade.
To ensure that high mast lamps provide better lighting services for pedestrians, relevant personnel in highway departments regularly inspect and maintain the streetlights, replacing lampshades and bulbs as needed. Every night we walk, we are protected by streetlights, thanks to the labor of those who maintain them.
