Common heights of street lamps are 6/8/10/12m, etc. When planning a project, the installation distances of street lamps at different heights are different, and the number of street lamps required will also be different. How far is the 6-meter integrated smart light pole? What is the spacing of 8-meter smart light poles? Solway's technical department often receives such inquiries, and today I will take you to a brief understanding.

The appropriate spacing between integrated smart street light poles on the road depends on several factors, including the type of area (urban, suburban, or rural), the height and lumen output of the street lights, the desired illumination level, and the specific lighting design requirements. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Urban Areas

• Spacing: Typically, street light poles are spaced between 100 to 150 feet (30 to 45 meters) apart.

• Considerations: In densely populated urban areas, the spacing may be closer to ensure adequate lighting for pedestrian safety and to reduce dark spots.

2. Suburban Areas

• Spacing: In suburban settings, the spacing can range from 150 to 200 feet (45 to 60 meters).

• Considerations: The spacing may vary based on the width of the road and the presence of trees or other obstructions that could block light.

3. Rural Areas

• Spacing: In rural areas, street light poles can be spaced 200 to 300 feet (60 to 90 meters) apart.

• Considerations: The lower population density and reduced traffic may allow for wider spacing, but it is essential to ensure that visibility and safety are maintained.

4. Factors Influencing Spacing

• Light Output: Higher lumen output fixtures can be spaced further apart, while lower output fixtures may require closer spacing.

• Pole Height: Taller poles can provide a wider spread of light, allowing for greater spacing.

• Road Width: Wider roads may require additional poles to ensure even illumination across the entire roadway.

• Lighting Design Standards: Local regulations and standards may dictate specific spacing requirements based on the intended use of the road (e.g., residential, commercial, or arterial roads).

5. Additional Considerations

• Smart Features: Integrated smart street lights may include sensors and adaptive lighting capabilities, which can influence the design and spacing based on real-time data (e.g., traffic flow, pedestrian presence).

• Aesthetics and Urban Design: The visual impact of street lighting on the urban landscape may also play a role in determining pole placement and spacing.

Conclusion

While the general spacing guidelines provide a starting point, it is essential to conduct a detailed lighting design analysis that considers the specific conditions and requirements of the area to determine the most appropriate spacing for integrated smart street light poles. Consulting with lighting professionals and adhering to local standards will ensure optimal lighting performance and safety.
