Light Post Pedestals
The specific components may vary depending on the design and location, but here are the common parts of a street light post:
- Pole: The pole is the main vertical structure that supports the street light. It is typically made of steel, aluminum, or concrete. The pole’s height can vary depending on the lighting requirements and the specific area it serves.
- Base Plate: The base plate is the bottom part of the pole that connects it to the ground. It provides stability and ensures the pole remains upright. The base plate is usually embedded in a concrete foundation.
- Luminaire Arm: The luminaire arm, also known as the bracket or armature, is an extended horizontal arm attached to the top of the pole. It holds the street light fixture or luminaire, allowing it to extend away from the pole and illuminate the desired area.
- Luminaire: The luminaire refers to the actual light fixture mounted on the luminaire arm. It contains light sources, such as LED bulbs or high-pressure sodium lamps, along with reflectors, lenses, or diffusers to distribute and direct the light downward onto the street.
- Photoelectric Cell (Photocell): A photocell is an optional component located on the top of the luminaire or the pole. It senses ambient light levels and automatically turns the street light on at dusk and off at dawn, providing energy-efficient operation.
- Access Door: Some street light posts have an access door, usually located on the pole. It allows maintenance personnel to access the electrical wiring, control components, and other internal parts for maintenance, repairs, or adjustments.
- Anchor Bolts: Anchor bolts are used to secure the base plate of the street light post to the concrete foundation. They are embedded in the foundation during the installation process and provide additional stability to the pole.
- Wiring and Electrical Components: Inside the pole, there is a network of wiring that connects the luminaire to the electrical power supply. This includes electrical conduits, cables, connectors, and other necessary electrical components.
- Finial or Cap: The finial or cap is a decorative element placed at the top of the street light post. It adds aesthetic value and serves to cover the top end of the pole.
These are the main parts of a typical street light post. However, it’s important to note that specific designs and installations may have additional components or variations to suit specific requirements or regulations.
