Introduction: When Light Enables Security and Productivity
Content list
In the modern era, lighting is not merely a convenience — it is a vital component of safety, productivity, and the aesthetic enhancement of urban and industrial environments. One of the most essential tools for providing light in large and high-traffic spaces is the lighting tower, also known as a high-mast light pole. These tall metal structures, equipped with powerful floodlights, play a critical role in nighttime illumination of areas such as public squares, highways, parks, ports, construction sites, and terminals.
Applications of Lighting Towers
1. Illuminating Public Squares and Urban Spaces
In city squares, plaza lighting towers distribute light evenly in all directions, enhancing nighttime safety and visibility.
2. Transport Terminals
In airports, bus stations, rail terminals, and seaports, sufficient nighttime lighting is critical. High-mast lighting towers provide wide-area illumination without the need for numerous ground-level fixtures.
3. Industrial Sites and Construction Projects
Typical streetlight poles are not sufficient for industrial applications. In such settings, high-intensity lighting masts ensure safe working conditions for personnel and equipment during nighttime operations.
4. Sports Fields, Large Parking Lots, and Exhibition Grounds
These areas require both focused and widespread lighting, which can be effectively provided only by lighting towers.
Types of Lighting Towers and Their Features
1. Fixed Lighting Towers
Suitable for locations where the position of lights does not need to change. These towers are typically made from galvanized steel and can accommodate various types of LED and HID floodlights.
2. Mobile Lighting Towers
Equipped with wheels and an internal generator, these are ideal for temporary projects such as film production, mobile workshops, or active construction sites.
3. Lighting Towers with Movable Basket (Manual or Electric Hoist System)
Allow vertical movement of lights for easy maintenance and repair. Commonly used in permanent urban infrastructure.
4. Solar Lighting Towers
Powered by solar panels, eliminating the need for grid electricity. A smart solution for remote areas or energy-saving projects.
Advantages of Lighting Towers over Traditional Lighting
Wide lighting coverage with a single pole
Reduced installation and wiring costs
Compatible with energy-efficient and high-power floodlights
Enhances the aesthetics of outdoor spaces with modern designs
Resistant to wind, humidity, and harsh weather conditions
Lower maintenance costs in models with movable baskets
Buying Guide for Lighting Towers
Purchasing a lighting tower is an engineering decision. Consider the following:
Required Height: Typically between 12 to 40 meters, based on area size
Projector Type: LED or HID? Beam angle?
Pole Material: Stainless steel? Hot-dip galvanized? Powder-coated?
Climate Conditions: Is the tower resistant to moisture and dust?
Light Hoisting System: Manual, electric, or automatic?
Installation Type: Concrete foundation or bolted base?
Need for Solar or Internal Generator System?

Lighting Tower Design Process: From Engineering to Execution
At Mahyar Sepahan, lighting tower design goes beyond fabrication. It’s rooted in lighting engineering, site-specific needs assessment, international standards, and climate conditions.
Professional Design Stages:
Project needs assessment (function, space, traffic volume)
Calculation of required illumination (lux)
Lighting simulation using DIALux software
Pole height and base design based on light coverage
Beam angle and lamp count selection to eliminate shadows
Wind load and height-based force calculation
Earthing design, static discharge protection, lightning protection
Standards for Lighting Towers: Beyond Aesthetics
A professional-grade lighting tower must comply with the following standards:
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| IP66 or IP67 | Dust and heavy rain protection |
| EN 40-5 | European standard for lighting poles |
| IEC 60598-2-3 | Outdoor luminaire specifications |
| ISO 1461 | Hot-dip galvanization, corrosion resistance |
| CE Marking | Required for export to EU countries |
Which Industries Require Lighting Towers?
Municipalities and urban service departments
Road construction and civil engineering projects
Oil, gas, and petrochemical industries
