Solar Street Light Sizing for 6–12 m Poles: A Buyer’s Guide

Updated 2026-08-12 · SOLARTODO LIMITED

Quick answer

For 6–12 m poles, solar street light sizing depends on road width, lighting class, and pole spacing. Always compare wattage, lumen, and battery values on the specific product variant page. IP65/IP66 and LiFePO4 chemistry appear only when explicitly listed. FOB USD pricing covers goods; freight is separate.

Pole Height vs Road Width & Lighting Class

The height of your pole is typically selected against the road width and the required lighting class. Wider roads and higher traffic areas generally demand taller poles and more powerful luminaires. Because every site is different, the right combination is best determined by comparing the options shown on live product pages rather than relying on generic formulas.

  • Pole height is matched to road width and lighting class
  • Compare options directly on product variant pages
  • Use the site's layout and illumination targets to guide your choice

Wattage, Lumens, and Battery Values are Product-Specific

The only reliable wattage, lumen, and battery values are the ones displayed on the specific product variant page you are considering. Different configurations of the same model may have different outputs and capacities. Never assume a value; always check the exact variant before sizing your solar street light.

  • Verify wattage, lumen output, and battery capacity per variant
  • Do not generalize across similar-looking models
  • Use the published numbers to compare lighting coverage

IP Ratings and LiFePO4 Chemistry — Only When Listed

IP65 or IP66 ratings and LiFePO4 battery chemistry are not guaranteed across all solar street lights. These attributes appear only when explicitly listed on the product page. If a spec is not shown, it should not be assumed based on the product name or photos.

  • IP65/IP66 appear only when the product lists them
  • LiFePO4 is mentioned only when the variant includes it
  • Check the full specification table for confirmation

FOB USD Pricing and Freight Costs

On products that include pricing, the online value is expressed in FOB USD. This amount covers the goods only, and freight is calculated separately. Factor in logistics costs when planning a project budget.

  • FOB USD is the goods value at origin
  • Freight is a separate cost not included in the product price
  • Request a full landed cost estimate before ordering

Engineering Line RFQ Payment Options

For qualified engineering and municipal projects, the engineering line of the catalog supports RFQ (request for quotation) and bank TT payment options where available. This gives buyers a formal channel for negotiating specs and quantities beyond the standard online purchase flow.

  • Use RFQ for project-specific requirements
  • Bank TT payments are supported where the catalog allows
  • Professional buyers can request custom quotations directly

FAQ

How do I choose pole height for solar street lights?
Pole height is typically selected against road width and the required lighting class. Compare options on live product pages to see which pole-height configuration matches your site conditions.
Can I use any solar street light for a 10m pole?
No. You must use the wattage, lumen, and battery values shown on the specific product variant page. A 10m pole may require a higher-lumen head and larger battery, so verify the published specs before purchase.
What does IP65 or IP66 mean for solar street lights?
IP65 and IP66 indicate the product's ingress protection level. They are only listed when the product actually meets that rating; if the IP code is absent, you should not assume a specific protection level.
Is LiFePO4 available on all solar street lights?
No. LiFePO4 battery chemistry appears only when explicitly listed on the product variant page. Some models use other chemistries, so check the specifications for each product.
How is FOB USD pricing applied to products?
FOB USD is the online goods value when a product is priced. It covers the cost of the goods only; freight and other shipping charges are separate. Always request a shipping quote for your destination.
What payment methods are accepted for engineering projects?
Engineering lines support RFQ and bank TT where the catalog allows. This is suitable for large municipal or contractor purchases. The standard online checkout may have other options, but RFQ and bank TT are available for qualified buyers.
Does shipping cost include freight?
No. The product price is FOB USD, and freight is always separate. Shipping cost depends on destination, weight, and volume; ask for a freight quote before finalizing your order.
