Solar Street Light Mounting Pole & Mounting Bracket
Components:
1. Mounting Pole: This can be a steel or aluminum pole that is designed to support the weight of the solar street light. The pole must be anchored firmly in the ground, usually with concrete or another suitable foundation.
2. Mounting Bracket: This is the component that attaches to the pole and holds the solar street light in place. It is usually made of a durable metal and may have adjustable features to allow for different mounting angles or heights.
3. Solar Street Light: The actual lighting fixture, which includes the solar panel, battery, and LED lamp. It should be designed for easy mounting onto the bracket.
4. Hardware: This includes bolts, nuts, washers, and other necessary fasteners to secure the mounting bracket to the pole and the light fixture to the bracket.
Mounting Process:
1. Site Preparation: Choose a location for the pole that receives sufficient sunlight for the solar panel to charge effectively. Ensure that the area is clear from any obstacles that may obstruct light once the fixture is installed.
2. Pole Installation: Set the pole into a pre-dug hole and fix it into place with concrete or another appropriate method. Make sure the pole is vertical and stable before proceeding.
3. Bracket Attachment: Attach the mounting bracket to the pole at the desired height. Some brackets may have multiple holes or slots to adjust the height and tilt of the light fixture. Use the provided hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) to secure the bracket tightly.
4. Light Fixture Installation: Once the bracket is in place, mount the solar street light onto the bracket, following any specific instructions provided by the manufacturer. Again, use the appropriate hardware to secure the light fixture.
5. Orientation: Ensure that the solar panel on the light fixture is facing towards an unobstructed area where it can receive maximum sunlight during the day.
6. Connections: If your system requires it, connect the battery and LED light fixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most modern solar street lights have these components pre-wired and ready to go.
7. Testing: Test the light to make sure it turns on automatically at night and off during the day. Check for proper functioning of any motion sensors or additional features.
8. Maintenance: Keep the solar panel clean and check periodically that all connections remain secure and the battery is functioning properly.
It’s important to follow the specific installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of your solar street light, as different models may have unique mounting requirements. Additionally, if you are not comfortable performing the installation yourself, it’s advisable to hire a professional to ensure safety and correct installation.
