Did you know that a light pole has many uses, not just lamps? Today, the light pole manufacturer Phoebus Light will show you how to maximize the use of light poles.
In addition to lamps, Phoebus street light poles can also carry a variety of additional equipment or devices in combination with functional requirements, technical applications, and scene characteristics, which not only saves space but also improves public service efficiency, and is well received by overseas customers.
The following are some common additional equipment.
1. Surveillance camera
One of the most common additional equipment used for road safety, traffic monitoring, public security prevention and control, especially in main roads, commercial areas, and areas around schools.
2. Environmental monitoring sensor
Can monitor temperature and humidity, PM2.5, noise, atmospheric pollutants, etc., and upload data to the city management platform in real time to help smart city environmental governance.
3. Emergency broadcast loudspeaker
Used for early warning notifications and evacuation instructions during public emergencies, and can also broadcast public welfare propaganda content daily.
4. One-button alarm device
Install it on roads with less traffic (such as parks and suburban roads). Citizens can trigger the alarm with one button in case of an emergency, and the public security or management department will respond quickly.
5. 5G/4G base station or Wi-Fi
With the increasing demand for 5G network coverage, street light poles can be used as "micro base station" carriers, especially in densely populated areas in urban areas, to solve the problem of signal coverage blind spots. Provide public free Wi-Fi, covering streets, squares, parks, and other areas, to facilitate citizens to access the Internet.
6. Internet of Things (IoT) gateway device
As a regional IoT node, it connects to surrounding smart devices (such as smart parking piles and shared bicycle electronic fences) to achieve data transmission and device linkage.
7. Charging pile
For small vehicles such as electric bicycles and electric scooters, install low-voltage charging piles to solve the charging needs of short-distance travel tools (suitable for sidewalks around communities and business districts).
8. Information display screen
Install a small LED screen or scrolling light box to publish public information, public service advertisements, or commercial advertisements.

9. Traffic lights or signs
On the street light poles near intersections and zebra crossings, pedestrian signal lights, deceleration signs, etc., can be installed to enhance traffic guidance.
10. Reflective signs or warning lights
For nighttime road safety, reflective strips and flashing warning lights are installed on the pole body to improve the recognition of the street light pole itself and avoid vehicle collisions.
11. Pedestrian crossing reminder device
Such as pedestrian buttons, triggering street lights to flash, or voice prompts "pedestrian crossing the street".
12. Drone landing pad
As a drone landing pad or delivery robot docking point, it supports automatic identification of landing, charging, and path planning.
