Solar Street Light
All-in-one and all-in-two solar street lights in a 50W–300W range, with LiFePO4 storage and project-specific panels, poles and controls.
Lighting solution
Municipal & Road Lighting
Compliant, energy-efficient illumination for urban arterials, residential streets, highways and rural roads — grid-powered or fully solar.
The scenario
What makes this project type difficult
Road lighting is judged by two numbers a photograph cannot show: average illuminance and uniformity. A street can look bright and still fail its lighting class if the dark patches between poles are too deep, because it is the ratio between the brightest and darkest points — not the peak brightness — that determines whether a driver sees a pedestrian stepping off a kerb.
Municipal projects add constraints on top of that. Pole positions are often fixed by existing foundations or utility corridors. Budgets are set per kilometre, not per luminaire. Rural sections may sit far from any usable grid connection, while the urban core has power but severe energy-cost pressure. And the whole installation has to be maintainable by a municipal crew for the next two decades.
Design requirements
- Achieve the target average illuminance and uniformity ratio for the road's lighting class
- Control glare so the light reaches the carriageway rather than drivers' eyes or adjacent windows
- Work within existing or budget-constrained pole spacing
- Provide an off-grid option for rural and unelectrified sections
- Minimise maintenance interventions across the asset life
- Withstand local wind loading and corrosion conditions
Recommended configuration
Starting configurations for this scenario
Final wattage, pole height and spacing are always confirmed by the free Dialux lighting design for the actual geometry. The table below is where most projects of this type begin.
| Sub-scenario | Product | Wattage | Pole / mounting | Spacing | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urban arterial road | LED Street Light | 200W–320W modular | 10m–12m galvanized | Confirmed by Dialux calculation | Mains supply with time-based dimming |
| Residential street | LED Street Light or Solar Street Light | 120W–160W / 60W–100W solar | 6m–8m galvanized | Confirmed by Dialux calculation | Light control plus PIR dimming |
| Rural / unelectrified road | Solar Street Light (all-in-one) | 60W–150W | 6m–8m galvanized | Confirmed by Dialux calculation | Light control, timer, 3–7 day autonomy |
| Highway and interchange | LED Street Light + High Mast Light | 320W / high mast head cluster | 12m columns, 20m–35m masts | Confirmed by Dialux calculation | Mains supply, central monitoring optional |
How Mast Lighting approaches a municipal road project
Every project starts with a lighting calculation rather than a product selection. Send the road width, the number of lanes, the available or intended pole height and spacing and the lighting class you must meet, and our engineers return a free Dialux simulation showing the illuminance distribution, uniformity ratio and glare rating your layout will achieve. If the numbers do not meet the class, we adjust wattage, optics, height or spacing until they do — before anything is manufactured.
Grid, solar and hybrid within one project
Long municipal corridors are rarely uniform. A single contract often has an electrified urban section, a peri-urban section with unreliable supply and a rural section with no grid at all. Mast Lighting supplies all three from one factory: mains LED street lights up to 200–220 lm/W for the electrified sections, standalone solar street lights with 3–7 days of LiFePO4 autonomy for the off-grid sections, and hybrid units that switch automatically between solar and grid where supply is intermittent.
Built for a twenty-year maintenance cycle
Modular LED engines let a municipal crew replace a single failed module instead of a whole luminaire. Poles are hot-dip galvanized inside and out and engineered to withstand winds up to Grade 12 typhoon level. Solar units use LiFePO4 cells with a typical 5–8 year service life and operate from -40°C to 65°C, so seasonal extremes do not force early replacement.
What we supply
Luminaires, poles, foundation anchor hardware, controls and — where the project calls for it — the engineering contracting scope covering municipal infrastructure, landscape and sports facility works. Installation, commissioning and remote troubleshooting support are included with supply.
Service scope
What is included beyond the hardware
Mast Lighting is TÜV Rheinland audited (MIC-ASI264744) and operates ISO9001 quality management. Engineering support is part of the supply, not a paid extra.

Scenario questions
Frequently asked
How is the correct configuration decided for this type of project?
The configuration follows the photometric result, not a catalogue table. We take the road or area geometry, the mounting height under consideration and the lighting class the project must meet, then run a Dialux simulation and adjust wattage, optics, height and spacing until the target is reached.
What is the best mounting height for this scenario?
Mounting height is a function of road or area width and the required lighting class. Mast Lighting supplies 6m, 8m, 10m and 12m hot-dip galvanized poles and 20m to 60m high masts, so the height is selected from the calculation rather than from stock availability.
How long do the solar systems used in this scenario last?
LiFePO4 batteries carry a typical service life of 5 to 8 years and the complete solar street light carries a 3-year warranty. Systems operate between −40°C and 65°C with IP65/IP66 protection.
Can Mast Lighting supply the poles and structures as well as the luminaires?
Yes. Luminaires, hot-dip galvanized poles, high masts, traffic structures, photovoltaic modules and LiFePO4 storage are all manufactured in our own factory, so the complete package ships against one specification and one delivery schedule.
How much does a project of this type cost?
Cost is driven by wattage, battery and panel sizing, pole height and finish, quantity and destination. Mast Lighting sells factory-direct with independent export rights — send the project parameters and we return a configuration with pricing.
