Decorative street lighting for townships and colonies
The buyer is a committee
Township buyers are developers, resident societies and builders. They care about three things: how it looks at handover, how little it costs to run, and whether anyone can fix it after the warranty. That points to catalogue designs with common parts.
Starting specification
| Item | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Pole height | 4 to 6 m for internal roads, 6 to 8 m for main avenues |
| Layout | Staggered on 6 to 8 m roads; single side on lanes |
| Luminaire | 20 to 60 W LED, 3000 to 4000 K, IP65 or better |
| Controls | Timer or photocell as a minimum; dimming after midnight saves energy |
| Power | Grid for internal roads; solar for gates, clubhouse paths and outlying roads |
| Spares | Keep a few percent of luminaires and drivers in the same model |
Mistakes we see repeatedly
- Choosing a unique design that only one supplier makes.
- Poles that clash with driveways, so residents file complaints on day one.
- No plan for the person who will replace a failed driver in year three.
- Treating the pole as the whole job and leaving the luminaire spec vague.
The tender checklist works equally well for private developers.
Questions people ask
How many poles does a township need?
Use the spacing calculator for the first estimate, then check against the layout plan, junctions and crossings.
Should the society pick solar?
It can suit gates and edges. For dense internal roads, grid is usually simpler.
