For street lights, light poles are the supporting points. Without them, there would be no street lights. It is conceivable how important light poles are. The shape of the light pole determines the overall effect of the street light, and the quality of the light pole determines the service life of the street light. Therefore, the technical requirements for light poles are very high.
The wall thickness standard of light poles refers to the requirements that the material thickness of the light pole should meet. Generally speaking, the wall thickness standard of light poles is determined based on factors such as the height, material and use environment of the light pole.
As a professional street light pole manufacturer, Phoebus always puts quality first. From the selection of high-strength raw materials to hot-dip galvanizing anti-corrosion, electrostatic spraying and other processes, every step is strictly controlled. Phoebus street light poles are resistant to wind loads and weathering, and are suitable for various environments.
1. Height of light poles
Generally speaking, the higher the height of the light pole, the greater the wind pressure and gravity it bears, so thicker wall thickness is required to ensure its stability and safety.
2. Material of light poles
Common light pole materials include steel, aluminum and stainless steel. Different materials have different strengths and corrosion resistance, so their wall thickness standards will also vary.
3. Use environment
For example, at the seaside or in high-risk areas, light poles need thicker walls to resist the impact of sea breeze or other natural disasters.
Technical requirements for light poles
1. The surface treatment requirements of light poles are very high. After all, as a public object, many pedestrians will touch it. Therefore, the overall process requires the surface of the light pole to be smooth, and there must be no cracks, protruding welds, uneven undercuts, and other problems.
2. The light pole welding method is always automatic argon arc welding, which perfectly integrates the various interfaces together, and the shape of the weld cannot be seen. After welding, it must also be subjected to ultrasonic flaw detection inspection, and strict requirements must be met, and no welding is loose at any point.
3. The light pole must be hot-dip galvanized to prevent corrosion. The thickness of the galvanized layer must not be less than 75 microns, and the best anti-corrosion treatment must be carried out while ensuring a smooth surface. After galvanizing, a strict hammer test must be carried out to ensure that there will be no peeling and other phenomena before it can be put into use on the market.
4. The light pole spraying should use high-quality outdoor pure polyester plastic powder, the color is to be agreed, the surface is flat and smooth, the plastic layer is stable, does not fade or fall off, has strong adhesion, is resistant to strong ultraviolet rays, and has a service life of not less than 20 years. The thickness is >80um.

The above is the industry knowledge sharing brought to you by Phoebus, a street light pole manufacturer. From the performance of core components to scenario applications, we strive to let everyone understand all aspects of street light poles more clearly through professional analysis.
