180 poles · 6,000 lm · 18 m spacing

A 180-pole retrofit that avoided 2.4 km of trenching

A leased logistics yard could not justify trenching for lighting, so the lighting had to arrive with its own power.

A 180-pole retrofit that avoided 2.4 km of trenching

The site is leased for nine years, which killed the capital case for a trenched lighting circuit. Solar poles moved the cost into a single line item with a five-year payback.

We modelled the yard in DIALux at 8 m mounting height and 18 m spacing, targeting 20 lux average with 0.35 uniformity. The chosen fixture holds 6,000 lm and dims to 30% between vehicle movements.

Commissioning took nine days for 180 poles, including the time profile and motion threshold for each. Winter autonomy was verified in the first February: the lowest pole returned 3.4 nights of reserve.
