The Importance of Commercial Outdoor Lighting for Urban Spaces
Effective commercial outdoor lighting is essential for creating safe, inviting, and functional urban environments. For public parks, streetscapes, car parks, and community plazas, the right lighting solution improves public safety, improves navigation, and defines the aesthetic character of a space.
Vizona provides specialised lighting solutions designed to meet the unique demands of any urban project. Our core product ranges include:
- High Mast Poles: For broad illumination of large areas like parks and transport hubs.
- LED Sports Lighting: For community sports facilities within urban areas.
- Solar Lighting Towers: For temporary lighting at events, roadworks, or construction sites.
- Decorative Poles: To blend architectural style with functional street and pathway lighting.
- Bollard Lights: For low-level pathway and landscape illumination.
Enhancing Public Safety
Properly designed lighting is a primary tool for crime prevention and accident reduction. Well-lit parks, pathways, and car parks discourage anti-social behaviour and improve visibility for pedestrians and drivers, creating a safer environment for the community.
Improving Energy Efficiency
Modernising your outdoor lighting is a direct path to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. Vizona's LED solutions can reduce energy consumption by up to 80% compared to older lighting technologies. When paired with smart controls like photocells and motion sensors, these savings can be even greater.
Ensuring Long-Term Durability
Outdoor infrastructure must be built to last. Our LED fixtures are rated for over 50,000 hours of operation, which drastically lowers the need for frequent maintenance and replacement. This longevity ensures reliable performance and reduces the total cost of ownership over the life of the system.
Designed for Australian Conditions
Australia's diverse and often harsh climate demands robust engineering. From coastal salt spray to extreme UV exposure, our products are designed for durability. We use high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials and ensure all our systems comply with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1158) to guarantee performance and safety in any local environment. With over two decades of experience, Vizona delivers commercial outdoor lighting solutions proven to work in real-world Australian conditions.
Key Solutions for Commercial Outdoor Lighting
High Mast Poles: Powerful Lighting for Large Spaces
Vizona's High Mast Poles are the premier solution for illuminating vast urban and industrial areas with powerful, uniform light. They are engineered for structural integrity and designed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale applications.
Applications for High Mast Poles
High Mast Poles lift luminaires to significant heights, providing broad and even light coverage. This makes them ideal where widespread illumination is critical for safety and operational efficiency.
Common environments include:
- Large urban parks and public spaces
- Sports fields and stadiums
- Freight terminals and port facilities
- Mine sites
- Major road intersections
- Large-scale car parks
Construction and Material Specifications
Our High Mast Poles are built for strength and longevity using superior materials and processes.
- Tapered Design: Each pole features a tapered, heavy pressed metal design for optimal structural integrity.
- Solid Base Plates: Robust base plates ensure a stable, secure, and lasting installation.
- Hot-Dip Galvanising: This post-fabrication process provides exceptional corrosion resistance, which is crucial for withstanding harsh Australian conditions.
- Australian Standards: All poles are manufactured to comply with relevant Australian Standards for guaranteed quality and safety.
Headframes and Lighting Arrangement
Headframes are custom-designed to securely hold luminaires at the top of the pole. We engineer them to suit specific lighting arrangements, ensuring luminaires are aimed correctly to meet design objectives and optimise illumination across the target area.
Access and Electrical Integration
Ease of maintenance is a core design feature. Our poles include lockable access doors at the base and internal trays for mounting electrical gear, which facilitates a safe, clean, and efficient installation and service process.
Standard and Custom Pole Heights
We offer a standard height range from 12.0m to 40.0m. For projects with unique requirements or heights exceeding this range, our engineering team provides custom design and manufacturing services.
Lighting Design Services by Vizona
Expert planning is key to a successful outcome. Our team prepares custom lighting designs that calculate specific illuminance requirements. This process determines the optimal pole heights, placements, and luminaire specifications to ensure full compliance with project goals and Australian Standards.
Inclusions and Optional Extras
Vizona provides a complete High Mast Pole solution. This includes the pole structure, LED sports luminaires, headframes or outriggers, footing cages, and any specialised brackets required. We also offer custom designs to meet unique site demands. More info about High Mast Poles

Why Choose Vizona for Your Commercial Outdoor Lighting
Choosing the right commercial outdoor lighting partner is critical to project success. It requires a supplier with deep technical knowledge, a commitment to regulatory compliance, and the ability to deliver a solution that performs safely and efficiently for years. Vizona provides this expertise.
Achieving Project Success with Vizona
We help our clients avoid common pitfalls by building quality and compliance into every stage of the project.
Ensuring Full Compliance
Ignoring Australian Standards is a significant risk. All public lighting must comply with AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020. A non-compliant design can create safety hazards, legal liability, and require expensive rework. We guarantee that every system we design and supply is fully compliant from day one.
Expert Lighting and Structural Design
Poor lighting design results in uneven illumination, dangerous dark spots, or excessive glare, compromising both safety and aesthetics. For high mast poles, underestimating wind loads can lead to structural failure. Our expert team uses precise lighting simulations and structural engineering to ensure a balanced, safe, and effective design.
Selecting the Right Materials and Technology
Using unsuitable materials is a recipe for failure in Australia's harsh climate. We specify durable, weather-resistant materials like recyclable aluminium for longevity. We also guide you in choosing the correct colour temperature for your goal—from crisp, cool whites (~5000K) for security to inviting warm tones (~3000K) for public plazas. Our efficient LED fixtures cut energy use by up to 80%, delivering long-term operational savings.
