Single Arm Decorative Pole
The most common decorative type - a pole with a single curved arm extending the luminaire over the road. Available in classical (S-curve), modern (geometric), and heritage (floral motif) designs. Suitable for: colony roads, park entrances, commercial streets. Height: 4–6m. Materials: MS (mild steel) with powder coating or hot-dip galvanising. Xera Tech offers 60+ single-arm pole designs including modern, traditional, and smart-city styles.
Double Arm and Multi-Arm Poles
Double arm poles extend lights on both sides - ideal for wide roads (8m+) where single-sided lighting would be uneven. Triple and quadruple arm poles are used at roundabouts, intersections, and large open spaces like maidans or temple courtyards. The arms can be at different heights (staggered) for aesthetic variation. Typical height: 6–9m. Double arm poles cost 30–50% more than single arm but light a much wider area efficiently.
Heritage and Theme Poles
India's diverse culture is reflected in theme-based decorative poles - a speciality of Xera Tech. Shiva theme poles (trident motif, ideal for temple roads and pilgrim routes). Vitthal theme poles (Pandharpur-style, ideal for religious pathways). Classical Mughal arch design (heritage zones). Lotus motif (government and municipal complexes). These poles are custom-manufactured to municipal or temple committee specifications. They are made of cast iron or high-grade MS with enamel or polyurethane paint finish for 10+ year outdoor durability.
Swan Neck and Post-Top Poles
Swan neck poles feature a graceful curved top - a timeless design used on arterial roads and boulevards. Post-top poles have a globe or lantern luminaire mounted directly atop the pole - used in gardens, parks, heritage walkways, and heritage city centres. Post-top poles are typically 3–4m high, making them suitable for pedestrian zones. Xera Tech's bollard lights are a low-height variant (0.5–1.2m) for pathway and garden edging.
Material Comparison
MS (Mild Steel) powder-coated: most common, lowest cost, good durability with annual maintenance. Hot-dip galvanised MS: superior corrosion resistance, ideal for coastal and high-humidity areas. Cast iron: highest strength and most detailed ornamental finish, heaviest, most expensive. FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic): lightweight, rust-free, good for coastal or chemically aggressive environments. GI (Galvanised Iron): standard utility - less decorative, used mainly for functional street lights.
