Questions people ask
What is the price of a decorative street light pole in India?
In 2026, indicative ex-factory prices run from about ₹14,000 for a short GI pole to ₹1,05,000 for taller MS poles, and from ₹35,000 to ₹95,000 for solar decorative poles. GST and installation are extra.
What height should a decorative street light pole be?
Parks and paths use 3 to 5 m. Township and commercial streets use 4 to 9 m. Boulevards and medians use 8 to 14 m.
How far apart should decorative street lights be?
As a first estimate, 3 to 4 times the mounting height. A 6 m pole would be about 18 to 24 m from the next.
GI or MS: which pole should I buy?
GI suits most projects up to about 9 m. MS suits taller poles and high wind zones.
Are solar decorative street lights worth it?
They pay off where trenching is long, outages are frequent or the grid is absent. Compare using the ten-year cost calculator.
What IP rating is needed for outdoor decorative lights?
IP65 at minimum. IP66 is better near coasts and on riverfronts.
What colour temperature should I choose?
3000 K warm white for parks, heritage streets and ghats. 4000 K for roads.
How long do decorative poles last?
Twenty years or more is realistic with proper hot-dip galvanising, powder coating and maintenance. LED luminaires and drivers usually have shorter warranties than the pole.
How long does delivery take?
Suppliers commonly quote 2 to 4 weeks for catalogue poles in small lots, 4 to 8 weeks for custom motifs and 6 to 12 weeks for very large orders.
Can I get a custom motif?
Yes. A custom crown needs a drawing, approval and tooling, which adds weeks.
Do decorative poles need foundation drawings?
Yes. The foundation depends on the pole, wind zone and soil. Use the supplier's drawing or a structural engineer's.
How do I buy decorative poles for a government project?
Follow the department's procurement route, which may include GeM or an open tender. The tender checklist helps you write the specification.
What maintenance do decorative poles need?
A monthly walk-round, checks before and after monsoon and a yearly technical inspection.
