Street Lighting Installation by Wilken
Illuminate your streets, pathways, and public spaces with Wilken, your trusted partner in street lighting installation and more. With our expertise spanning across streetscape, traffic lights and signals, parks and landscaping, and subdivision reticulation lighting, we ensure every project shines brightly.
Street lighting installation is the process of designing, setting up, and maintaining lights on public roads, pathways, and other communal areas. These lights not only enhance safety by deterring crime and ensuring safe pedestrian and vehicular movement but also play a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. At Wilken, we go beyond just lighting up streets; we create environments that are safe, functional, beautiful, and environmentally responsible.

Planning
Site Survey
Our team conducts a thorough site survey to understand the area’s specific needs, ensuring that every light is optimally placed for maximum efficiency and coverage.
Design
Based on the site survey, our design team crafts a bespoke lighting plan that aligns with the area’s requirements and aesthetic preferences, incorporating the latest LED technology for energy efficiency and reduced maintenance.
Permitting
We handle all the necessary permits and approvals, ensuring that the installation process is compliant with local regulations and adheres to the NSW Public Lighting Code.
Installation
Excavation
The first step in the physical installation process involves preparing the ground for the lighting infrastructure.
Concrete Footings
To ensure stability and longevity, we lay down robust concrete footings as a foundation for the light poles.
Pole Installation
Our team expertly installs the poles, ensuring they are perfectly aligned and secure.
Light Fixture Installation
The light fixtures, predominantly energy-efficient LEDs, are then mounted onto the poles, positioned for optimal light distribution.
Electrical Wiring
Our certified electricians handle all the wiring, ensuring that each light is powered efficiently and safely, with provisions for smart controllers for future adaptability.
Testing and Commissioning
Pre-commissioning Checks
Before the street lighting system is officially commissioned, it’s crucial to ensure that the installation is up to par and meets all safety and design standards. Our pre-commissioning checks include:
- Visual Inspection: A thorough visual assessment of the entire installation is conducted to confirm that it aligns with the design specifications and that there are no visible issues or discrepancies.
- Light Fixture Testing: Each individual light fixture is tested to ascertain its proper functioning. This ensures that every light will perform optimally once the system is energized.
- Electrical Wiring Test: The safety of our installations is paramount. We conduct meticulous tests on the electrical wiring to ensure that it is not only safe but also securely connected, minimizing any risks.
Commissioning
The commissioning phase is where the street lighting system is brought to life:
- System Energisation: The entire street lighting system is energized and tested under load conditions. This real-world testing ensures that the system can handle its operational demands.
- Light Level Adjustments: Once the system is live, we adjust the light levels to ensure they provide adequate illumination for their intended purpose, be it a busy street, a quiet pathway, or a public park.
- Sensor and Control Calibration: For street lighting systems equipped with sensors and controls, this step involves their calibration. This ensures that features like motion detection, dimming, or smart controls function as intended.
Post-commissioning Checks
After the system has been commissioned, it’s essential to re-evaluate and ensure that everything remains in optimal condition:
- Safety Recheck: The installation is re-examined to confirm that it remains safe and secure, especially after the system has been energised and tested.
- Retesting: Both the light fixtures and the electrical wiring undergo another round of testing. This ensures that they are still functioning correctly after the commissioning process.
- Documentation: All results from the testing and commissioning processes are meticulously documented. This provides a clear record and ensures transparency and accountability in our installation process.
