What is a Street Light Arm?

A street light arm is an extension on street light poles that helps enhance illumination on outdoor lighting poles.

I am talking about this:

Apart from the common term street light arm, you can also refer to this accessory as:

Light pole arm bracket
Light pole bracket
Streetlight mounting bracket
Streetlight bracket arm
Lighting mounting arm
Streetlight mounting arm, etc.

The market offers an innumerable array of street light arm items that may be a daunting task to show worth and reliable products.

Rax Industry Street Light Arm

For a fact, street light arms come in different shapes and designs.

Also, they feature different materials.

I will come to that later in this guide.

But remember, the choice of material is quite critical here.

For example, some street light arms feature a high tensile strength material.

Apart from the material, the design is also critical here.

It determines whether the arm can support the weight of the lamp.

Besides, determining whether it can withstand high-speed wind or any other adverse weather conditions.

As the name suggests, street light arms are for outdoor lighting posts.

In essence, the street light arms offer support and connect the lighting devices like LED street light, on the main street light post.

LED lamps on street light arms

As you can see, it ensures the LED street light illuminates properly on the street as well as the pedestrian paths.

Hence, there is no need to erect extra street light posts on the pavements.

How to Make Street Light Arms?

Although the process of making street light arms may seem simple, choosing appropriate manufacturing technology and material are still critical.

Why?

It is because they determine the lifespan of the street light arm.

Moreover, from this alone, you can tell whether it can hold a lamp or not.

Anyway, let me walk you through this process:

1. Designing Stage

Here, you must choose the design and shape of the street light arm.

This will depend on both the functionality and beauty you’d wish to add to the environment.

Normally, street light arm manufacturers will help you design an appropriate accessory.

Of course, the design should focus on the length and material forming the street light arm.

Moreover, it should put into consideration the bracket base.

In most cases, the main material for street light arms is flat steel and steel tube.

2. Fabricating Street Light Arm

Mostly, the process involves welding steel tube to a flat steel base.

To make the arm stable, you may add some reinforcements between the flat steel base and the tube.

The welding process should conform to BS5135 standards.

What follows here should be a thoroughly cleaned surface – more specifically the welded joints.

By doing so, you’ll have a smooth and fine finish without either spatter or slag.

Sand blasting is a perfect procedure for this kind of task.

3. Finishing Operations

In addition to this, it is important to take the street light arms through the galvanization process.

Of course, this is after welding and cleaning the welded street light arm.

Galvanization is a process of applying a metal coating on other metals to protect them from corrosion such as rusting.

Remember, you will be using these street light arms for your outdoors.

Therefore, it is important to galvanize them during the production process to improve their service life and durability.

So, what happens here?

The welded street light arms are dipped in hot zinc to form a protective coating on the surface.

This process is done according to ASTM123-78 standards.

Also, the galvanized street light arms must pass strict quality control and inspection.

Different designs of street light arm

This is the reason why Rax Industry street light arm products have a commanding stake in the market.

The thoroughness of the production process helps to pay attention to details to meet customers’ requirements.

Main Parts and Components and Features of Street Light Arm

In this section, you are going to learn more about features to focus on the street light arm.

These features will enable you to choose a correct street light arm that suitably serves your application environment.

Different designs of street light arm

The following are some of the essential features that you should consider for an ideal street light arm:

1. Street Light Arm Base

It is the street light arm base that will support the lamp.

The street light arm base should have slots to accommodate some inches of bolts to hold them firmly against the street poles.

2. The material of the Street Light Arm

The design service life of a street light arm should guarantee a long service lifespan.

Here, you need to consider the quality of the material.

It will determine whether the street light arm will serve you for a long time or not.

3. Street Light Arm Size

Most polearm designs may differ, but manufacturers use standard measurements in making various street light arms.

It depends on the specific requirements of customers.

However, the AS 1798 data are mostly preferred standard measurements in the design of street lighting brackets.

Thus, remember to use the data as your reference when in search of new street light arms.

The 6.5m, 10.5m, and 12.5m are standard heights for street poles, and 3 m are the street light arm projections.

4. Fixtures and Fittings

Streetlight arms, for all applications, should have fixtures and fitting devices on the street poles.

The street light arm must have a sturdy structural strength.

With this, it will remain in position all the time after installation.

Remember, you should mount a street light arm on a 10.5 and 12.5 m pole.

Hence, it must be mountable on the vertical section of the street pole.

This position must be between a minimum height of 4 m above the ground level.

And, at least a height of 1 m just below the outreach joint.

5. Cable Port

The cable entry openings must be round-edged because this will help protect the service cables from abrasion.

The smallest radius should also be at least 5 mm.

How to Mount a Street Light Arm

In this section, I am going to show you how to mount a street light arm.

First, you need to review the installation manual from the manufacturer.

This way, you will install the street light arm faster.

Before you begin the installation process, please confirm the following:

The manufacturer can supply the street light arms for on-site joining
The poles and the street light arm have uniform or compatible joints like bolt holes and other fitting features
Physically and visually inspect the street light arm joints to make sure that the formed joints are tight

Street light arm dimensions

Alternatively, you can follow the manufacturer’s instructions to re-align the joints as per the instructions.

Note that the physical inspections involve rocking and pulling the two sections by hand to identify sections that clearly show a fault line at the joint.

It is the base that supports the street light arm off the ground.

Make sure you identify a suitable compatible height to mount the street light arm.

It should have adequate clearance off the ground to ward off vandalism.

Wedge the joints to prevent rotation during operation or adverse weather conditions such as winds, snow, etc.

The street light arms should also be properly aligned to the road, house, path-ways and cable exits.

You should remember to sling the section of the assembly to ascertain the stability of the outreach lighting arm to maintain the alignment.

Only each street light arm at a time can be mounted to observe the safety and stability of the installation.

After identifying the positions where you want to install the street light arm, mark the top and the bottom section.

Now under strict supervision, join the street light arm to the main lighting pole together by applying compressing force before tightening the joints with bolts.

Accuracy and caution during this exercise will prevent any misalignment during the installation.

· Lifting Procedure

The street light arm should be correctly assembled (join all accessories fittings and sections).

The lifting mechanism should have the ability to lift the entire structure when you’re mounting the street light arm.

You should do this carefully to prevent possible damage to any section of the street light arm, or the lighting bracket arm.

Along the sling for lifting the arm, there should be a safety rope hooked and attached to a firm end.

The purpose of the precaution is to ensure a secure and safe erection procedure during the lifting exercise.

The sling must not be tightly wrapped to the street pole to avoid deformation.

Of course, you should ensure that the hook and safety rope remains in position.

It will secure it throughout the process.
