Common pole street lighting design｜Heping Road, Pingtung City

Lighting design

The primary consideration in urban road planning is safety lighting. Only after rigorous optical calculations can the lights be evenly distributed on the road, creating a more comfortable driving environment at night. What is even more valuable is that the design unit considers the subsequent management and maintenance of local units, so it is High-pressure sodium lamps are the main light source for roads. Although the current LED street lamps promote excellent energy-saving benefits, because LED specifications have not yet been unified, it is easy to cause maintenance problems after the local government takes over. The advantage of traditional street lamps is that they are easy to purchase replacement lamps and repair and maintenance. Convenient (if there is a problem with the LED street lamp, the entire lamp needs to be disassembled and sent to the original manufacturer of the lamp for repair). 

In recent years, public projects have emphasized localized image design. The co-structured street lamps on Heping Road in Pingtung have their own style and characteristics. The arm shape of this themed co-pole street lamp in Pingtung is inspired by the image of "bat" spreading its wings. (In ancient times, bats had the meaning of blessing). Xionghui cooperated with the design team’s consideration for human nature and the balance of lighting technology to create the best common pole, integrating all information on the same set of street lights through modularization/flexibility. In order to reduce the visual burden on road users, it also simplifies the process of replacing road signs in the future, and creates a unique road lighting urban landscape in Pingtung.
