Bringing together form and function, pendant street lighting provides accurate and comfortable visibility at night of possible hazards while also adorning metropolitan avenues, town streets and residential communities with a pleasant daytime and nighttime appearance. A quality public lighting design doesn’t just make a contribution towards traffic safety and pedestrian security, it takes into account the larger environmental context with an intention to create a positive visual composition.
Pendant street lights are human scale lighting systems that provide ambient illumination for outdoor areas and roads where pedestrians and cyclists are present. Unlike post top lights where the fixture design is dominant over the pole, pendant street lights rely on the use of mounting arms to complete the overall design statement. The hanging luminaire in combination with the arm and pole evokes a timeless, elegant aesthetic that is not as easily accomplished with other types of outdoor light fixtures. Pendant street lights are also referred to as down lighting fixtures since their optical systems are perpendicular to nadir and maintain a downward direction for all or a significant portion of the light output. The luminaires are mounted on heights of 3 m to 9 m. These graceful pendant lights are used on residential neighborhoods, commercial plazas, college campuses, urban boulevards, pedestrian walkways, bikeways, parks, and squares.
