Q. What is the maximum height of a lamppost?

Answer

Public Street lighting typically consists of lampposts, which can vary in height from 8 feet to 50 feet. Gardens are often illuminated by lamp posts between 5 and 9 feet in height, and these structures serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. In order to effectively aid both foot and car traffic, street light poles need to be of adequate height. The proper amount of light can only be provided if the light pole is tall enough. While just one set of light poles is needed to illuminate a narrow roadway, bigger streets need two sets of poles. When properly installed, a lighting fixture should cover an area roughly proportional to the pole's height.
