The Application of High Mast Floodlights

The Application of High Mast Floodlights

In recent years, the society has developed faster and faster. Evening lighting has become an indispensable one in daily life. Everyone has higher and higher standards for lighting fixtures. Therefore, lighting fixture products have derived many types. Now I will give you a brief introduction about the basic knowledge of some high-pole lights. High-pole lights are generally used in sports fields, central squares, playgrounds and other larger places. They have a particularly good effect on creating atmosphere for night lighting. High mast floodlights have It helps to create a safe, comfortable and relaxing lighting environment that modern people like.

Precautions for Installing High Mast Floodlights

Before installing the high pole lamp, choose a scientific and reasonable lighting method. The high pole lamp is relatively large, so you need to carefully confirm the range of lighting before installation to meet the illuminance, light color, color rendering, three-dimensional effect, texture, Standards such as glare limitation also need to remove the excess shadows generated during the lighting process, and adjust the disadvantages of light and ultraviolet rays.

A lightning rod and a rain cover need to be installed on the top of the lifting pole of the high pole lamp, and the height of the high pole lamp is relatively high, and iron products are easy to conduct electricity, so you need to install a lightning rod, and there are many controls inside the pole. In order to avoid rain erosion, the system needs to install a waterproof cover, so these two items are indispensable.

In the rectangular space at the bottom of the high mast floodlight, not only an electrical control system, but also a lifting system should be installed. The electrical control system can well prevent the operation error of the high pole lamp lifting function caused by the extreme outdoor weather. There are also various circuit overload protectors in the electrical control system.

The Basic Structure of High Mast Floodlights

It is generally composed of embedded parts, stirrups, ground nets, and angle irons (grounding). The standard foundation must be composed of the above materials.

Selection of embedded parts and digging size:

1. The diameter of the embedded parts of the general high pole lamp is selected as the lower diameter + 100-150. If the lower diameter of the light pole is 500, the diameter of the embedded part should be 600-650.

2. the height is one-tenth of the light pole, such as the height of the embedded part of the 25m light pole is 2.5M.

3. The digging depth is one-seventh of the light pole, such as about 3.5 meters for a 25-meter light pole (one-eighth to one-ninth is the usual practice for light poles below 15 meters)

4. The digging width is generally 3-4 times of the standard embedded parts. For example, the digging width of the embedded part with a diameter of 700 should be 2100 (depending on the weight and height of the light pole) 15 meters and below, generally 2-3 times.

5. Generally, the embedded parts over 15 meters should be equipped with decorative flanges to avoid deformation of the embedded parts. Generally, 6-8 cm thick is sufficient. The center has 150-200 threading holes for threading. The standard of decorative flanges is the same as that of the chassis.

The Main Points of the Development of LED High Mast Floodlight

At present, low-cost products for LED high-pole lamps continue to rewrite the base price of products, but the manufacturing costs continue to rise, forcing a large number of traditional lighting product manufacturers to continue to transform. With many years of operation, all major brands have moved to new fields such as education and media, hoping to combine with their traditional advantages to open up new markets. However, there are few companies adhering to the service philosophy of putting people first and returning to the actual needs of users.

So what is human-oriented lighting? I think that LED lighting street lamp products are people-oriented, that is, based on human behavior, visual effects, and visual physiological and psychological research, to develop more scientific, human-oriented, efficient, comfortable and healthy Lighting products and solutions. Therefore, the use of people-oriented outdoor LED high pole lights is being mentioned more and more.

LED high mast floodlights are just needed for human life. The appearance of LED high-pole lights greatly increases the time and scope of people’s activities. The function, energy consumption and price of lighting products are one of the focuses that customers pay attention to, and lighting products designed from the perspective of users are products that conform to the trend of the times.

Precautions for installing lifting high mast lights on squares

Street lights are common in people’s daily life, and only the existence of street lights can make passers-by walking at night rest assured. And street lights are also classified as high pole lights, so you should pay more attention to the equipment, because the heights are very cold, and if there is a problem with the equipment, it will constitute a lot of unnecessary waste.

First of all, when designing high pole lights, a lightning rod must be installed as an aid to avoid hazardous incidents when thunder is raining. And when installing, must hire some professional electricians.

At the same time, it must be configured in conjunction with some precautions of the solar street light manufacturers.

The second is to be equipped with shock absorbers, because large vehicles coming and going on the road can easily cause ground vibration, and if it goes on for a long time, it will cause the light pole to loosen. The last is the setting of the equipment program. This must refer to the relevant manual to avoid setting errors and causing abnormal use!

Technical Parameters of 15m-40m high Mast Floodlights on the market:

1. Light pole: When the high pole lamp manufacturer plans to produce a height of 15-40 meters, and the pole body is an octagonal, twelve-row, and eighteen-sided pyramid, it will be manufactured in 3 stages, and the thickness of the plate from top to bottom is: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, upper diameter: 280mm, lower diameter: 560mm, made of high-strength excellent steel plate through shearing, bending, and active welding. The planned high wind resistance capacity can reach 60 meters per second. It can be equipped with excellent steel disc flange with a diameter of 950mm and a plate thickness of 25mm.
2. The main pole and bracket of the high pole lamp are made of high-strength excellent steel plate through a large bending machine one-time roll pole forming, and submerged arc active welding. The whole lamp pole and lamp panel are treated with hot-dip galvanizing, and the surface is coated with polyester powder. , Can ensure no corrosion on the surface for 30 years.
3. There are two types of high pole lights: up-and-down type and non-up-and-down type. Landing high pole lights are usually used for high pole lights over 18 meters. The electric lifting operation is convenient. After the lamp panel is raised to the working position, the lamp panel can be actively separated from the hanging groove and the wire rope.
4. The guiding and unloading system of the high pole lamp is composed of guide wheels and guide arms. In this way, it can ensure that the lamp panel will not move laterally during the descending process, and the lamp panel can be actively adjusted when the lamp panel is back in place. And determined by the hook.
5. The high-pole lighting electrical system can be composed of floodlights or floodlights. The specific choice can be based on the actual situation of the site and the needs of customers; it can also actively control the switching time and part of the light through the computer timer Lighting or full lighting.
6. Lifting high-pole light lightning protection system. Because the high mast floodlight is installed outdoors, it is easy to be struck by lightning during the thunderstorm season. This is a big threat. It can damage the high-pole light. It can cause fires or casualties and constitute huge losses, which are not what we want to see. Therefore, high pole lights must be protected against lightning. Install a 1.5m long lightning rod on the top of the lamp, and install a 1m long grounding wire on the open base and connect it with the open bolt.
7.  The sealing level of all lamps of the landing high pole lamp is IP65 international standard to avoid the intrusion of dust and rain and ensure the service life of the lamp. The materials of the lamps are generally made of aluminum alloy plates and stainless steel with good corrosion resistance.

 There are two ways to raise and lower the high mast floodlights,
namely electric and manual.

The electric landing system consists of an electric motor, a hoist, hot-dip galvanized steel wire rope and rubber cables. The designed lifting speed of the lamp pole body is 3 meters to 5 meters per minute.
Manual landing system, the length of the lead wire of the manual remote control device is 10 meters, we can manually control the up and down of the lamp panel at 5 meters, which can ensure personal safety.

How does the manufacturer correct the verticality of the high mast floodlight

The use of high mast flood lights is very common, such as city squares, municipal parks, school stadiums, highway toll stations, etc. The height of the poles of the high-pole lights is generally more than 15 meters, and the power of the lamp is more than 150W. The coverage area is large and the luminous brightness is large, which is very popular in the market.

Manufacturers of high-pole lights generally design street light poles with a height of more than 12 meters into two pole sections for insertion. One reason is that the pole body is too long to be transported, and the other is that the overall length of the high-pole lamp is too long. If it is long, it will inevitably require a super large bending machine. If it is operated in this way, the production cost of the high pole lamp will be high. In addition, the longer the lamp body of the high pole lamp, the easier it will be deformed.

But the plug-in will be affected by many factors. For example, high pole lights are generally made of two or four-section plugs. During the plugging process, if the plugging operation is not appropriate or the plugging direction is incorrect It will cause the overall height of the high-pole lamp after installation to be not straight, especially when you look up from the bottom of the high-pole lamp, you will feel that the verticality does not meet the requirements. What should we do in this frequently encountered situation? We deal with it from the following points.

1. First, let’s look at the bottom section, that is, the section with the flange, to see if it is upright, and the easiest way to measure whether it is vertical is to tie a comparison with a thinner nylon rope. For heavy objects, hold the top of the nylon rope with your hand at a position about 10 meters away from the high pole lamp, so that the gravity will droop naturally, and then use one eye to pass through the vertical of the nylon rope at a position 20 cm away from the eyes. The thread comes and goes through the bottom section of the high pole lamp.

If you use this method in the four directions of east, west, south and north, there is no problem, then the verticality of the bottom section is considered normal.

If you find that the bottom section of the high pole lamp is seriously non-parallel with the line of the nylon rope, then this situation needs to be adjusted in time, otherwise the upper segment will also be non-vertical, even the higher it is. Oblique, positive can be described as “the lower beam is not right and the upper beam is crooked”.

2. Check whether the plug-in part is in place. Generally, whether it is a high-pole lamp, a communication tower, or a beautification tower, all steel poles that need to be plugged have a theoretical plugging depth during the design.

If the actual insertion depth is much different from the theoretical insertion depth, more than 20 cm, the installation is likely to be incorrect. Only if the depth is sufficient can the vertical effect be effectively guaranteed.

3. If it is determined that the bottom section is relatively vertical and the other sections are inserted in place, if it is still not straight, there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the insertion direction is wrong.

Since most of the high-pole lights are designed as octagonal poles, manufacturers will conduct a series of plug-in tests before the finished high-pole lights leave the factory.

After successfully completing each step of a series of debugging, the installer should mark a certain position of the high pole light pole body to ensure that the construction team can install it correctly. If the assembly is not carried out in the marked direction, even If the bottom section is vertical and inserted in place, it may also cause irregularities.

After the introduction of the above steps, we clearly understand that if the sloppy installation of the high pole lamp causes a problem in a certain detail installation, it will cause a lot of later troubles.
