Residential street lights are closely related to people’s daily life, and they must meet the needs of both lighting and aesthetics. The installation of community street lamps has standard requirements in terms of lamp type, light source, lamp position and power distribution settings. Let’s learn about the installation specifications of community street lamps!
How bright the residential street lights are is suitable?
The brightness adjustment of street lights in the community is a big problem. If the street lights are too bright, the residents on the lower floors will feel glare, and the light pollution will be serious. If the street lights are too dark, it will affect the owners of the community to travel at night, and pedestrians and vehicles are prone to accidents. Thieves are also easy to commit crimes in the dark, so how bright are the street lights in residential areas?
According to regulations, the roads in the community are regarded as branch roads, and the brightness standard should be about 20-30LX, that is, people can see clearly within the range of 5-10 meters. When designing residential street lighting, since the branch roads are narrow and distributed between residential buildings, the uniformity of street lighting needs to be considered. It is generally recommended to use single-side lighting with low pole lighting.

1. Lamp type
The width of the road in the community is generally 3-5 meters. Considering the illumination factor and the convenience of maintenance, LED garden lights with a height of 2.5 to 4 meters are generally used for lighting in the community. Maintenance, personnel can quickly repair. And LED garden light can pursue the beauty of the overall light shape according to the architectural style and environmental atmosphere of the community, and beautify the community. In addition, the shape of street lamps should also be simple and smooth, and there should not be too many decorations. If there are large areas of lawns and small flowers in the community, some lawn lamps can also be considered.
2. Light source
Different from the high-pressure sodium lamps commonly used for main road lighting, the main light source used for community lighting is LED. The cool-color light source can create a quiet feeling, make the whole community full of layers, and create a soft outdoor environment for low-floor residents, avoiding low-floor lighting. Residents suffer from light pollution at night. Community lighting also needs to consider the vehicle factor, but the vehicles in the community are not like the vehicles on the main road. Areas are brighter, and other places are lower.
3. Lamp layout
Due to the complex road conditions of the roads in the residential area, there are many intersections and many forks, the lighting of the residential area should have a better visual guiding effect, and it should be arranged on one side; on the main roads and entrances and exits of residential areas with wider roads, double side arrangement. In addition, when designing community lighting, care should be taken to avoid adverse effects of outdoor lighting on the indoor environment of residents. The light position should not be too close to the balcony and windows, and should be arranged in the green belt on the side of the road away from the residential building.
