Galvanized lamp poles are widely used in parks, squares, municipal roads, and other locations because of their exceptional resistance to corrosion. However, keeping them well every day is crucial to extending their lifespan. Cleaning, inspection, corrosion prevention, and troubleshooting are the four components of practical maintenance.

In natural settings, wind often affects cantilever structures like galvanized lamp poles.

Since streetlights are suspended high in the sky, their structure should be as simple as possible.

In order to increase road lighting safety by decreasing weight, increasing rainwater flow, and lowering wind resistance, they should have a streamlined shape.

Regular cleaning is necessary, ideally every three months. To get rid of dust, oil, bird droppings, and other impurities, rinse the light pole with clean water first, then use a soft cloth to wipe its surface. Avoid using strong acid or alkali cleaners to prevent damage to the galvanized layer. For stubborn stains, use a diluted neutral detergent. After cleaning, dry the pole with a dry cloth immediately, paying particular attention to the hidden areas at the bottom where the pole contacts the ground to prevent water accumulation.

Regular inspection is crucial for prevention. A basic inspection should be conducted monthly. Generally, galvanized lamp poles have good corrosion and rust resistance. Using Akzo powder coating, the color of the galvanized lamp pole is brighter and more durable, maintaining a bright and new appearance for a long time. If rust spots are found, wipe them with a towel as soon as possible to remove the rust. The rust-proof layer on the galvanized light pole surface will be harmed by polishing them with sandpaper or other abrasive materials, which will cause widespread corrosion.

The frequency of corrosion protection must be modified based on the surroundings. Every six months, extra anti-corrosion treatment is needed in highly corrosive areas like industrial zones and coastal regions. To improve protection, the galvanized layer can be coated with a weather-resistant varnish. To lower the chance of corrosion, refrain from using sharp objects to scratch the light pole's surface.

Powder coating makes outdoor galvanized lamp poles look more aesthetically pleasing and sophisticated, with over 200 colors to choose from. The powder coating is UV resistant, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic. It provides excellent coating quality and strong adhesion and extends the lifespan of streetlights and monitoring poles, preventing rust even under prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain. Rust and corrosion resistance can last for over 20 years.

 

Powder coated poles

 

Benefits of powder coated poles:

① It makes the light pole look more attractive. Many colors are available.

② The coating on the light pole has excellent appearance quality and strong adhesion, extending its service life and preventing rust even after long-term exposure to sun and rain.

③ The light pole is coated with plastic powder, specifically electrostatic powder coating. The plastic powder is loaded by an electrostatic generator, adsorbed onto the surface of the high-mast light, and then baked at high temperature, melting and adhering the powder to the surface, resulting in a uniform and smooth finish. After the powder coating process, the light pole is free of wrinkles, runs, zinc nodules, peeling, and defects on both the inner and outer surfaces.
