In any outdoor lighting scheme — whether it’s a campus, urban square, car‑park, park walkway or road perimeter — the pole or column is as critical as the luminaire it supports. The GEWISS pillars and accessories range covers lighting pillars, street lighting poles, mounting bases, fixing accessories, control units for pillars and pole‑connection kits. In my experience specifying outdoor lighting systems, a mismatched pole, anchoring kit or accessory is often the weak link. Picking the right pillar system from day one saves time, cost and the need for late‑site adjustment.
The category of GEWISS lighting pillars refers to columns designed to carry luminaires at height, ensure stable mounting under wind and vibration, provide proper cabling access and withstand environmental conditions. When selecting a pillar you’re checking specifications such as height, wind‑loading rating (e.g., for your region’s 35 m/s), anchor‑bolt configuration, internal wiring duct, access door, corrosion treatment (galvanised, powder‑coated) and compatibility with the luminaire mounting. Because GEWISS offers a range of outdoor lighting systems, their pillar portfolio aligns structurally with their lamp families which simplifies integration and spares.
When you place a luminaire at height and feed a public space, you’re often using GEWISS street lighting poles and intended pole‑mounted luminaires. The mounting arm, pole top interface, tilt or rotation adjustment and cable entry all must match the luminaire’s spec sheet — GEWISS documentation emphasises “streetlight … to be mounted onto a post” as part of the outdoor lighting product family.Practical specification: you’ll choose the pole based on the weight and wind‑area of the luminaire, arm length (e.g., for road vs footway), and the anchor‑plate dimensions to suit concrete base design.
The interface between ground or foundation and the pillar matters a lot. GEWISS mounting bases, fixing accessories and pole connection kits provide the structural anchoring, service access, surge‑protection mounts, and cable termination zones. For example, GEWISS lists support kits that allow installation of boards or equipment on poles from 60 mm to 200 mm diameter, reinforcing the fact that their accessories also cover structural mounting. In real world installation: selecting the correct base plate size, anchor‑bolt pattern, tape seal for ingress protection and access door clearance all reduce installation surprises and save hours on site.
Lighting pillars often house more than just a light: they may include surge protection, remote control units, dimming modules, sensor interface or communications hardware. The category of GEWISS control units for pillars and pole connection kits deals with the integration of these functions. When you design a smart‑lighting system you’ll define whether the pillar will contain a DALI node, remote monitoring interface, mains disconnect or wiring terminal block. GEWISS’s approach to outdoor lighting emphasises “complete solutions … from design, to supply, to turnkey installation, to maintenance plans. From procurement vantage: you want pillar kits that already include the appropriate wiring space, control unit bay, access door and cable management bracket so you can treat the pillar almost like an enclosure.
When you’re buying GEWISS pillars and accessories in bulk for outdoor lighting schemes (campus lighting, parking facilities, municipal streets), typical buyer checks include:
From field experience: the pillar is often the last major civil‑installation item before lighting install. If it’s delayed, the lighting crew sits idle. Specifying and ordering the full pillar kit, mountings and accessories ahead of time avoids this.
