Oclyte® Streetlight Column

Electricity undergrounding has led to increasing demand for an aesthetically pleasing column for street lighting in both residential and commercial areas. The Oclyte® column provides an extremely versatile combination of mounting heights, base types and outreach shapes to satisfy the requirements of the asset owner.

Oclyte® modular steel columns comprise a range of interchangeable octagonal tapered steel elements each of which friction fit together to provide the desired height between 3 and 13m. These steel galvanised octagonal sectional columns come in a number of mounting heights and installation options to suit any street lighting requirements.

FEATURES

Manufacture

The columns are manufactured from mild steel with a minimum yield of 250 MPa ranging in thickness from 2, 3 and 4mm, which, after folding, is seam welded and then hot dip galvanised to finish. Higher yield steels are also used where high loads and taper constraints dictate.
