High-Mast & Large Area Lighting

High-Mast & Large Area LED Lighting Solutions

High-mast lighting is about coverage, reliability and maintenance planning-not just lumens. We support optics selection and layout for harsh outdoor sites.

• Applications: ports, airports, logistics yards, interchanges

• Long-throw optics & uniformity strategy

• Wind-load & structural considerations

• Corrosion & environmental durability

• Maintenance approach & access planning

• Recommended luminaires

We design for structural limits, maintenance and real operations

High-mast LED lighting projects must respect structural limits, maintenance logistics and real-world operating conditions. We focus on what owners and operators can actually control – luminaire load, aiming, access and lifecycle cost.

Controllable issueOperational riskOur response
Wind load and structural limitsExcessive EPA demands mast reinforcement or replacement.Low-EPA, compact luminaires such as HM01R reduce wind load and help keep within existing structural capabilities.
Maintenance at 20–45 m heightsEach maintenance operation requires cranes or lowering systems.Long-life platforms with robust drivers, surge protection and simple access to critical components.
Mixed-area requirements under one mastPorts, airports or interchanges often need different illuminance zones.Optic combinations and aiming concepts to cover aprons, lanes and storage areas from the same mast.
Retrofit from HID to LEDRisk of overloading or unbalancing existing headframes.HM01R 1:1 replacement concept helps maintain similar load and balance while improving performance.

We treat high-mast lighting upgrades as engineering projects – not just luminaire swaps.

LED high-mast lighting at airport with large area coverage

Large area visibility for safe 24/7 operations

Ports, airports, interchanges and large yards need clear visibility over long distances, across multiple directions.
We design high-mast lighting layouts that provide uniform coverage, vertical illuminance and appropriate
contrast where it matters.

Key lighting aspects

Horizontal illuminanceEnsures ground workers, vehicles and containers are visible across the yard.
Vertical illuminanceHelps operators see vertical surfaces, equipment and signage clearly.
UniformityReduces dark corners and helps CCTV systems capture consistent images.
Glare controlMinimises discomfort and disability glare for crane operators, truck drivers and ground staff.

Design & verification

We support your projects with DIALux / AGI32 high-mast lighting layouts, including mast positions, aiming diagrams and illuminance maps tailored to each operational zone – from loading areas to traffic lanes.

 

The objective is a safe, readable large-area environment that supports 24/7 operations and CCTV monitoring.

High-mast applications & their lighting needs

Different high-mast sites share long pole heights but have very different operational patterns.
We adapt optics, aiming and luminaire selection to each application.

Ports & terminals

Container yardsLong-throw beams and good vertical illuminance for stacking and identification.
Quay areasTargeted lighting for crane operations and loading points.
Truck lanesBalanced light levels for traffic safety and CCTV capture.

Airports, highways & yards

Airport apronsUniform coverage for aircraft stands, service roads and gates.
Highway interchangesHigh mounting heights and long-throw beams for complex junctions.
Large logistics yardsBalanced light for loading zones, parking and circulation roads.

Recommended high-mast luminaires

Our HM01, SP02 and FL08 luminaires are designed for tall poles and large-area coverage,
with attention to wind load, long-throw optics and maintenance.

HM01R high-mast luminaire

HM01R High-Mast LED Luminaire

A high-mast LED luminaire engineered as a 1:1 replacement for traditional HID fixtures, designed for extreme environments.

• Lightweight body and low EPA for tall poles.

• Optimised for ports, airports, highways and stadium perimeters.

• Robust construction for harsh outdoor conditions.

SP02 large area floodlight

SP02 Large Area Floodlight

A large area LED floodlight suitable for high-mast applications and wide-area coverage on poles, gantries or structures.

• Long-throw optics for large yards and interchanges.

• Flexible mounting for different high-mast heads or structures.

• Complements HM01R in mixed high-mast projects.

FL08 Additional high-mast luminaire

Complementary Area / FL08 Flood Luminaires

Depending on the site, other flood or area luminaires can be used at lower mounting heights to complete the lighting system.

• Lower mounting heights for perimeter or entry roads.

• Area luminaires for adjacent parking or service zones.

• Ensures visual continuity between mast and local lighting.

Frequently asked questions about LED high-mast lighting

What inputs are required for a high-mast layout? +

Pole height, spacing, site boundaries, obstacles, target levels and environmental conditions.

How do you choose optics for 20-45m poles? +

Long-throw optics for distance + careful overlap planning for uniformity; aiming accuracy is critical.

What about maintenance-how often and how? +

We plan maintenance access early (lowering system, lift access, spare modules/drivers) to reduce downtime.

Can this replace HID systems on existing poles? +

Often yes, but layout and aiming need recalculation to meet targets and reduce spill.
