Aluminium lighting columns are manufactured using a very different process to steel lighting columns; they are extruded from tube to form cylindrical sections into which door openings and cable entry slots are then cut. The columns are then heat treated by annealing in an oven and then an anti corrosion root treatment is applied.

Conical aluminium lighting columns are available in mounting heights from 3.5 to 15m and can be supplied in either planted root or flangeplated versions. In keeping with the other lighting columns we manufacture, aluminium columns are available with a complete range of bracket arms. Aluminium columns are normally supplied with a flush fitting door opening.
Various finishes are available, however we usually supply a spun brushed finish with no additional treatment, columns can be anodised or powder coated if required.

Design
All of our Aluminium Lighting Columns are manufactured and designed in accordance with the British Standard BS 5649 and where appropriate comply with the Highways Agency Specification BD26/99.
These Lighting Columns will all fully comply with the new European Standard EN40, which will shortly replace BS5649.
