Customized Street Light

A customized street light is a road or area lighting fixture built to a customer's exact specification: lumen output, color temperature, distribution pattern, dimming protocol, mounting interface, and finish color. Custom street lights are specified when an off-the-shelf catalog luminaire does not match the project's photometric requirement, architectural aesthetic, or smart-city control integration. For B2B buyers, the typical drivers are: a municipal roadway project with a specific lighting class requirement, an architectural urban renewal project with a specified fixture design, or a smart-city deployment with a particular control protocol (DALI, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT). GAOQIAO has manufactured customized street lights for export since 2008, with optical, mechanical, and electronic engineering teams in Nanjing.

Technical Specifications

How to Specify a Custom Street Light

Custom street light specification starts with the photometric target: what lighting class (M1 to M6 per EN 13201, or equivalent IES classification) the project must achieve, and what distribution pattern best matches the roadway geometry. Without a clear photometric target, the fixture design becomes guesswork.

Buyers often specify wattage as a proxy for lumen output, but two 150 W fixtures can deliver wildly different photometric performance depending on the LED chip, driver efficiency, and optic design. Always specify the required lumen output (with tolerance), the distribution pattern type, and the lighting class target. GAOQIAO provides Dialux simulation files for any custom configuration at no charge.

Color temperature and CRI affect both visual comfort and project acceptance. A 5000 K cool-white fixture delivers higher lumen output per watt but creates a more clinical feel that may not match the project aesthetic. A 3000 K warm-white fixture with CRI 80+ is the common urban renewal choice; a 4000 K neutral-white with CRI 70 is the typical roadway choice. Confirm the project's specification before committing to a CCT.

Smart-city control integration is increasingly the primary driver of customization. A standard 0-10 V dimming interface is the lowest common denominator; DALI 2.0 enables per-fixture addressing and diagnostics; LoRaWAN or NB-IoT enables wireless central control without additional wiring. Match the dimming protocol to the project's central management system before fixture specification.

Key Features and Benefits

Dialux Simulation Per Project

Every custom street light order includes a Dialux simulation file for the specific project geometry, showing the achieved lighting class, uniformity, and glare index. This eliminates the photometric guesswork that produces field failures on competitor custom fixtures.

Lumileds / Osram / Cree LED Source Options

We support all three major LED chip brands at the same price point, allowing the customer to specify the brand that matches their existing spare parts inventory and warranty expectations.

Driver Field-Replaceable Without Tools

The driver is a field-replaceable module that pulls out without tools, allowing on-site repair rather than full-fixture replacement. This is the most cost-effective maintenance model over a 25-year fixture life.

Common Applications

Customized Street Light products are specified in a wide range of projects:

• Municipal roadway lighting (M3-M5 class, post-top or side-entry)
• Architectural urban renewal (custom finish and decorative design)
• Highway interchange high-mast (Type V distribution, 400 W class)
• Smart-city DALI deployment (per-fixture addressable dimming)
• Solar street lighting (DC input, integrated battery compartment)
• Tunnel entrance lighting (IP67 / IK10, anti-glare optic)
• Airport apron lighting (with aviation glare mitigation)

Installation and Maintenance

Installation follows the standard roadway lighting workflow: mount the fixture on the pole with the specified side-entry or post-top interface, land the power wiring through the fixture's IP-rated gland, and (for smart-city variants) pair the wireless control module with the central management system. A typical install is 15-30 minutes per fixture, and a 2-person crew can complete 8-12 fixtures per day. Maintenance is the driver replacement at 8-10 year intervals and an annual optic cleaning.

Certifications and Compliance

All custom street lights are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015. Standard compliance includes CE, RoHS, ENEC, EN 13201 (photometric), and IEC 60598 (luminaire safety). For North American projects, UL / DLC certification is available as a project line item. Each fixture ships with a photometric test report (LM-79), a color report (TM-30), and a 5-year limited warranty.
