Frequently asked questions
How many lux does secondary roads need?
Indian practice (IS 1944) recommends 10 to 15 lux maintained on the task plane with uniformity of at least 0.4. New installations should target 20–30% above the maintained value to allow for lamp depreciation and dirt.
What mounting height is typical for secondary roads?
Around 8 m is typical. Higher mounting needs more lumens per fixture or closer spacing to keep uniformity.
Which HiLums or Oreli fixture should I use?
LED Street Lights are the usual choices. Use the bulk & customisation portal to enter your dimensions; it sizes lumens, wattage and quantity and lets you choose AC, DC or solar supply, CCT, surge protection and mounting.
