Distribution areas
Type I Light Distribution
Type I light distribution provides a wide, symmetrical light for fixtures
located in the middle of a walkway. The width of the pattern it creates is
about equal to the fixture’s height.
Type I fixtures are good for:
• Sidewalks
• Narrow walkways
• Border lighting
Type II Light Distribution
Type II fixtures have a slightly wider distribution and are intended for
installations where the fixture is placed at the edge of the roadway. They light
an area up to 1.5 times wider than the mounting height of the fixture. For
example, if the fixture is 10 feet high, it will cast light up to 15 feet wide on the
area below.
Type II fixtures are best suited for:
•Wide paths
•Alleys
•Side streets
Type III Light Distribution
Type III light distribution casts light about 2.75 times wider than the mounting
height of the fixture. Fixtures should be placed along the side of the area to be
lit, allowing the light to project outward. A fixture with Type III distribution
mounted to 10-feet pole will cast light about 27.5 feet in width from the light
source.
Type III fixtures are ideal for:
•Roadways
•General parking areas
•Lawns
Type IV Light Distribution
Type IV light distribution fixtures are known as forward throw or asymmetric
fixtures. Like Type III fixtures, these light fixtures will cast light 2.75 times
wider than their height, but produces a more rounded distribution pattern that
pushes the light outward, will little light falling behind the fixture. They’re best
mounted on walls or used to illuminate specific areas.
Type IV fixtures work best on:
•Building exteriors
•Perimeter of parking areas
Type V Light Distribution
Large spaces usually require Type V light fixtures. These fixtures distribute
light evenly around all sides of the fixture, usually in a square or circular
pattern.
Type V light fixtures do best on:

Position
Pattern
Single Sided
When the width (W) of the road is nearly equal to the pole height
(H), i.e. W = H then the poles are arranged in one side only.
Generally pole height is available of 10 meter.
The span between two poles is equal to the road width.
Double Sided
When the width (W) of the road is nearly double the pole height
(H), i.e. W = 2H then the poles are arranged along both sides in
opposite to each other manner.
The span between two poles may not be equal to the road width.
Staggered Sided or Zigzag Pattern
When the width (W) of the road is nearly 1.5 times of the pole
height (H), i.e. W = 1.5 H then the poles are arranged in both
sides in zigzag manner.
The span between two poles may not be equal to the road width.
Central Verge Position
When the width (W) of the road is much greater than the pole height (H), i.e.
W>>H then the poles are arranged in the central verge of the road. The luminaires
are made to face towards both the road surfaces from the central verge.
The span between two poles may not equal to the road width.
Ratio of Height and Arm of Street Light
• The height of the street lamp (the height of the street lamp pole) is generally 6 meters, 8 meters, 10 meters, 12 meters, 15
meters, etc. The specific use of the street light height depends on the width of the road surface. Generally, if the single
side light is on, the height of the street light is the same as the width of the road surface. Or the height of the street light is
less than 1 meter of the width of the road.
• The relationship between the common LED street lamp power and the pole height is generally: 30~60W street lamp height
is less than 6 meters, 60~100W street lamp height is below 8 meters, and 100~150W street lamp height is below 10 meters.
• Street lamp height (street light pole height) conventional street light poles are generally 4 meters, 4.5 meters, 5 meters, 5.5
meters, 6 meters, 6.5 meters, 7 meters, 7.5 meters, 8 meters, 8.5 meters, 9 meters, 9.5 meters, 10 Meter, 10.5 meters, 11
meters, 11.5 meters, 12 meters.
• The height of the garden light pole is generally 3 meters, 3.5 meters, 4 meters.
• The height of the high pole lights is generally 15 meters and above.
Factors related to street light poles’ heights
There are somethings you need to think about while deciding a pole height: the location requirements;
traffic density; the road width and the street lamp spacing.
• Installation of street lights must determine where the location is, for example, rural roads, county-level
roads, provincial-level roads, etc. The installation height is not the same. This is mainly related to the
width of the road. For example, a road that is 5 meters wide needs to be installed with a pole that is 5
meters high, and a pole that is 8 meters wide and requires a pole of 8 meters.
• The height of the lamp must be selected according to the density of the vehicle passing through the
road and the type of vehicle passing. For example, if you have a large car, you need to install a high-
end street light, and you can install low-level street lights almost without a large car. Install solar street
lights, the height must be determined according to the surrounding trees. The principle is that it must
be well lit, and if the trees are low, the pole height can exceed the trees.
• The specific use of the street lamp height depends on the road width. If the lamp is on one side, the height of the
street lamp is the same as the width of the road surface, or the height of the street lamp is less than 1 m. The
relationship between the common LED street lamp power and the pole height is generally: 30-60W street lamp
height is less than 6 meters, 60~100W street lamp height is below 9 meters, and 100-150W street lamp height is
below 12 meters. If the city main road is generally 4 lights side by side, the distance is about 30 meters. The city’s
secondary roads are 2 lights side by side, about 35-40 meters away.
• The specific use of the street lamp height also depend on the street lamp spacing. It is determined by various factors
such as the lighting power of the LED street light, the height of the street lamp, and the width of the road. There are
also villages that can buy a number of street lights according to the budget, and then calculate the spacing. In
theory, the distance between LED street lamps is generally 3.8-4 times the height of the poles, and the longitudinal
spacing of street lamps is generally 30 meters to 50 meters. When there are power poles or other poles, the distance
is 40 meters to 50 meters. Try to combine the power supply pole with the lighting pole to save investment. If the
underground cable is used for power supply, the spacing should be small, which is conducive to the uniformity of
illumination, and the spacing is usually 30 meters to 40 meters.
Other Details you should know about street
light poles
• The pole’s height :- The street light pole needs to be of
the correct height so as to provide the appropriate
lighting density. In most cases, street pole heights
range from 9 to 14 feet. Ideally, the street light pole
should provide sufficient light without there being an
excessive glare.
• Consistent intervals between lights:- Although they
help fight crime, street lights are meant to illuminate
the way for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
However, if one area is well lit and the adjoining area
pitch black, it creates room for accidents as the eyes
take some time to adjust. Street lights need to be placed
at consistent intervals.
• Installation environment:- You will need to pay
attention to the area within which the street light poles
are installed. For instance, in a coastal region, the poles
are susceptible to corrosion from salt water. You
might, therefore, need poles with a special finish.
• Light distribution:- Although a street could be
well lit, there are factors such as trees or tall
buildings that could create dark spots. This
beats the objective of installing the street lights.
It is vital that you keep such features in mind
when designing how to place the street lights.
SPOTLIGHT FLOODLIGHT
• the spotlight is used for highlighting small areas in your landscape. These are areas
which you want to call attention to for maybe creating an ambience within the room,
for task lighting, mood lighting, or simply providing attractive illumination.
• Spotlights also work well to eliminate glare since they focus more on specific objects.
When placed strategically, they can make a space appear larger and create the illusion
of a wider room.
• It’s also easy to use bulbs with a spot beam in tracking lights for say, in your kitchen
where you want to focus on the sink or the stove. Or, you could do the same in the
study, highlighting your desk or other working surfaces.
• BEAM ANGLE:- Light produced from any bulb gets emitted as a “cone” that spreads
as it gets further from the light source. For a spotlight, which is narrower, this angle
does not go over 45 degrees. This concentrated beam is a stronger source of light and
becomes easier to point and control.
• STYLE AND DESIGN:- Spotlights come in various styles and designs to complement
every type of outdoor décor. There are classical designs that come in a brushed
chrome finish or others that feature wooden, brushed copper or brass detailing for a
more traditional or cottage setting. You can even get spotlights in a sleek metallic or
enamel finish to complement a more contemporary indoor setting.
WHERE THE SPOT LIGHTS WERE USED…
• As the name suggests, floodlights “flood” the area with light. Depending on where
you plan on using these and how much area you want to illuminate, you can buy a
single floodlight or go with a couple more.
• For the most part, homes only need a single or maybe two floodlights for either
security or aesthetic purposes. Commercial and industrial floodlights, on the other
hand, not only provide security but also the assurance that employees can work
safely out of daylight hours.
• BEAM ANGLE:- Floodlights have a wider beam angle that can go up to 120 degrees
max. This allows you to see a wider area at a closer distance.
• If you are using more than one floodlight, then you need to consider their spacing.
For optimal spacing, key factors like height of installation, lumen output, and the
lighting ambience will matter. Height-wise, the higher the better, since this prevents
tampering when you’re using lights for security reasons. Also, floodlights can get
very hot and cause injuries.
• For larger areas, it’s considered ideal that the beam angle of different fixtures
overlap somewhat. Also known as cross-over lighting, this placement technique
helps balance light and cuts back on shadows. (Think nighttime baseball games, or
other sports played at night).
