Spacing Solar Street Lights on an Estate Road or Driveway
Light does not travel forever. If poles are too far apart, you get bright patches and dark gaps. Good spacing gives smooth, safe lighting.
The principle
Each light makes a pool of light on the ground. Pools should overlap slightly so there is no dark gap between poles.
Factors
The size of the light, the mounting height and the width of the road. A bigger light at a greater height covers more ground.

A practical approach
Mount one light, then check at night how far the useful light reaches. Place the next pole just inside that distance. Test before you fix all the poles.
Ask for a layout
Send the road length and width to us and we will suggest spacing and the number of lights.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a standard spacing?
No. It depends on the light and the road.
Can I stagger poles on both sides?
Yes, on wide roads it gives even coverage.
Need help choosing?
Tell us where you want the light and we will recommend the right size, even if it means a cheaper one.
