Pole-mounted luminaire plan mark
Site-plan mark for a luminaire on a pole or column, drawn as a pole base with the luminaire arm.
In plain English
What does Pole-mounted luminaire plan mark mean?
Pole-mounted luminaires for car parks, roads and sites are drawn on site plans as a small circle or square for the pole base with the luminaire on an arm. The pole height and fitting type are tagged, and the cable route between poles is shown.
A simple example
Poles need a foundation, an earthing arrangement and a base compartment with a cut-out or fuse. The plan symbol therefore links electrical, civil and lighting design.
What the drawings help you do
The symbol does not give the pole height, arm length or foundation detail. Those come from the schedule and civil drawings.
This particular reference
Site-plan mark for a luminaire on a pole or column, drawn as a pole base with the luminaire arm. A wall-mounted luminaire fixes to a building; this form stands on its own pole.
- Schematic
- A drawing showing function and connections rather than physical appearance.
