Mini Mast and Solar Street Light Solutions

Light masts are tall upright posts with several big lights on top them to illuminate reasonably large areas.  Mini mast lights are typically mounted on poles that are 10 to 12 meters tall with multiple light fixtures, for transportation, storage and pedestrian safety.  The lighting typically consists of a ring surrounding the pole with the light fixtures mounted around it.  Mini masts are often used by municipal authorities and in fields, roundabouts, ports, toll plazas, warehouses, construction sites, parking lots, stadiums, etc.

Solar street light are a more cost-effective choice for mini masts because of their multiple unending benefits.  They can be installed within a day as they are wireless and do not require any power grid connections.  When installed at considerable heights, solar street lights can render uniform illumination to the entire area.  A higher light output is required to light up large areas and solar street lights are the energy-saving outdoor lighting option for mini masts. They do not emit heat or any toxic gases as they operate using renewable solar energy.

Solar street lights switch on and switch off automatically and operate from dusk to dawn, consuming no grid electricity at all.  The components have a longer life expectancy and the lights do not require frequent inspection or maintenance, making them a practical and unchallenging lighting solution for mini masts.  Solar street lights will continue to illuminate the installed areas even during power outages. Installation time and costs of mini masts can be relatively higher; however, considering the long-term benefits and the money saved on operations and maintenance, solar street lights are a smart alternative.
