Sizing calculator

Solar street light sizing calculator.

Enter a few road parameters and get a practical wattage recommendation in about 30 seconds. It narrows the field before your engineer signs off — so you shortlist the right fixtures instead of the whole catalog.

* This is a preliminary sizing guide. Final wattage should be confirmed against latitude, shading, lux standards and battery configuration.

How it works

Three inputs. One clear next step.

Road width

The carriageway width you are lighting. Wider roads push more lumens across, so the calculator raises the recommended wattage as width grows.

Pole spacing

Centre-to-centre distance between poles. Longer spacing needs a higher-output fixture to hold the illuminance between poles.

Traffic & brightness demand

Rural roads tolerate a lower ambient level than urban arterials. Picking the right band applies the multiplier the design should start from.

01

Get a wattage band

The result is a starting wattage — a band to shortlist fixtures in, not a final photometric value.

02

Match a fixture

Open the all-in-one catalog and filter by the recommended wattage and IP66 housing.

03

Send us the specs

For tenders we confirm the final wattage, pole height and battery against your latitude and lux standard — per project.

Calculator FAQ

Before you trust the number.

How does the solar street light sizing calculator work?

It combines road width and pole spacing into a base wattage, then applies a multiplier for the traffic / brightness band you choose. The output is a preliminary recommended wattage you can shortlist fixtures against.

Do I need to know the pole height?

Pole height is closely tied to road width and wattage — a wider road generally needs a taller pole and a higher-output fixture. Start with the road width here, then send us the pole height and we will confirm the final specification for your project.

Is the recommended wattage final?

No — it is a starting point. Final wattage depends on latitude, shading, the lux or luminance standard your project must meet, and the battery configuration. Send us the site details and our engineers will confirm the specification per project.
