When you need to illuminate extensive areas, you could use a large number of standard columns … or a smaller number of high masts.  More often than not, the nature of your development or the environmental considerations will constrain your choice.

High Mast Applications

When your design calls for uniform illuminations, and a large number of columns would impede movement, or even be dangerous, you need high mast lighting in your plans.  By mounting a number of luminaires on a single mast, you can meet the illumination criteria, and often enhance the design of your project.

Typical applications of high mast lighting systems include:

• Stadiums
• Industrial and commercial zones
• Airports, docks, and railway stations or complexes
• Car parks
• Multi-level or complicated road interchanges
• Highways

You need to provide effective, uniform lighting, without the masts interfering with the activity on the ground.

High Mast Versatility

When you specify high masts, your choice of luminaires is influenced by the illumination required, and your design considerations - masts are often used as design statements, as well as providing lighting.  Tecnopali will help you with the advice and information you need when making these complex lighting decisions.  The numbers and types of lights, and their array positioning, are crucial to the lightings effectiveness as well as design.

High masts can be specified with fixed head platforms, where access is provided by external ladders and safety systems.  Alternatively, a variety of mechanisms to lower the head to the ground for ease of maintenance can be incorporated into your design.
