The distance between the street lamp poles is usually between 15 meters and 50 meters. The specific distance depends on the width of the road, the height of the street lamp, the power of the light source and other factors. In urban roads, the spacing of street light poles is generally about 15 meters to 30 meters to ensure uniform and sufficient lighting on both sides of the road. In suburban or rural roads, the spacing of street light poles may be larger, reaching 30 meters to 50 meters. ‒

Factors affecting the distance of street lamp poles

Road width: the wider the road is, the greater the spacing of street light poles is, to ensure that the lighting covers the entire road surface. For example, when the effective width of the road is 6 meters, the distance between the street lamp poles is generally about 18 meters to 24 meters; When the effective width of the road is 9 meters, the distance is about 27 meters to 36 meters; When the effective width of the road is 12 meters, the distance is about 36 meters to 48 meters.

Street lamp height: the higher the lamp pole, the wider the lighting range, so the spacing can be increased accordingly. For example, 60 watt LED lamp caps, about 6 meters of lamp poles, with an interval of 15-18 meters; The spacing of 8-meter light poles is 20-24 meters, and the spacing of 12-meter light poles is 32-36 meters.

Light source power: the larger the light source power, the wider the lighting range, and the spacing can be increased accordingly. For example, 60 watt lamp caps, about 6 meters of lamp poles, with an interval of 15-18 meters; The spacing of 8-meter light poles is 20-24 meters, and the spacing of 12-meter light poles is 32-36 meters.

Suggestions on the distance of street light poles for different types of roads

Urban roads: the spacing is generally between 25 meters and 50 meters.

Small street lights such as landscape lights and courtyard lights: the spacing can be shortened to about 20 meters.

Rural roads: the spacing is generally between 30 meters and 50 meters.

Applicable scenarios of street light poles with different heights

4m light pole: suitable for residential roads, with a spacing of about 8~12 meters.

6m light pole: suitable for rural roads, with a spacing of about 15-20m.

8m light pole: applicable to national roads and urban auxiliary roads, with a spacing of 25~30 meters.

12m light pole: suitable for wide roads with a spacing of 30~50 meters.
