The Cultural Connotation of Chinese Lanterns:

The overall shape of the Chinese lamp reflects the classical traditional culture of China, implying the profound ancient civilization of China, where the five-thousand-year history of China is reflected everywhere in the shape of the Chinese lamp. The golden yellow lamp crown is well-known, as golden yellow represents status and power, luxury, and supreme authority. The entire shape of the Chinese lamp looks like a carriage, with the eight lamps around representing the four bearers, and the one above is the roof of the carriage. In China's feudal society, officials of low rank usually used four bearers, while landowners used two people to carry, indicating the etiquette of the eight-bearer carriage of the Chinese lamp should be of what level. The Chinese lamp often stands at the entrance of government buildings and factories. It represents solemnity, power, and sanctity that is inviolable, and perhaps more importantly, the Chinese lamp can drive away evil spirits and bring good luck!!

Chinese Lantern Making:

The Chinese lamp is generally made of hot-dipped zinc steel plate, which is then treated with anti-corrosion after production. It can also be made of stainless steel, but the price of stainless steel is expensive. The height of the Chinese lamp is 6 meters, 8 meters, 10 meters, and 12 meters. The Chinese lamp uses pipe diameter: 140-219 pipes, with hot-dipped zinc powder coating treatment. The Chinese lamp uses high-wattage energy-saving lamps or high-pressure sodium lamps, gold halide lamps, with large illumination angle, wide range, strong fog penetration, uniform illumination, and a service life of up to 50,000 hours, which can meet the requirements of the Chinese lamp for dispersed lighting.

Material Description:

The materials of the Chinese lamp poles generally comply with the Q235 standard, or they are processed from steel plates of higher quality than Q235. The Chinese lamp heads are made of aluminum or steel plates, followed by hot-dip galvanizing and spraying plastic coating (generally, the lamp heads sold in the lighting market do not undergo galvanizing). The true Chinese lamp with hot-dip galvanizing has a service life of up to 10 years. The lamp shade is made of acrylic PC or imported PNNA organic material, and the base is usually made of aluminum or iron. The fasteners, such as screws and nuts, are made of stainless steel (exposed).

Manufacturing Process:

After the lamp post is formed, it undergoes a heat-galvanized corrosion prevention treatment on the inside and outside. The galvanizing process includes several steps such as pickling, galvanizing, washing, phosphating, and passivation, resulting in a smooth and colorless surface with uniform and excellent coating. The lamp post is also coated with plastic after galvanizing to ensure that the plastic layer meets technical performance requirements for color, hardness, and adhesion.

Applicable Scope:

The Chinese lamp is suitable for municipal engineering, garden illumination engineering, and outdoor street lighting projects in government agencies, squares, factories, villa districts, etc.

Warm Tip:

The specifications and models of Chinese lamps vary, and specific products need to be negotiated in advance.

The Chinese lamp is a non-standard product, and the specific wall thickness and height of the lamp pole can be custom-made according to the user's requirements.
1. Flower carriage: The distance between the edges of the carriage roof is 1100mm, and the thickness of the steel plate is 3mm. The carriage roof and the carriage body are separate, connected and fixed by screws. The carriage roof gold cup cover has a straight column Φ89mm, 200mm high, and is supported by eight small steps on the bottom. The carriage body is a small-to-large octahedron, with an upper relative surface distance of 1100mm and a lower relative surface distance of 800mm. The side plates are 3mm thick, and the total height of the flower carriage is 1300mm. There is an installation support for the projector lamp, which is internal and has two 250W circular projector lamps (the arrangement is determined by the user).
2. Door: The door is inverted trapezoidal, with tempered glass installed on the door frame and fixed to the cab with screws.
3. Arm of the lamp: Eight pieces, made of equal-diameter steel pipes with a wall thickness of 3mm, bent from Φ38mm, and the lamp ball base is made of iron molding. The PMMA lamp ball has a diameter of 400mm and is pure white. The appearance has a smooth surface, and the lamp ball is level with the horizontal center of the flower carriage. The carriage top is equipped with a gold cup cover of the same material and color as the lamp ball. Both the lamp ball and the gold cup cover are equipped with 55W energy-saving lamps.
4、Middle Support: The part below the flower carriage is the middle support, which is an octahedron with a larger top and smaller bottom. The maximum relative distance is 480mm, which is the distance between the shoulder slopes. Below the shoulder slopes is the frame structure, with a relative distance of 340mm between the lower surfaces and a height of 1100mm.
5. Main rod: Φ219mm, wall thickness 4mm, height 9 meters, material: high-quality Q235A plate from Shanghai Baosteel. The base has wiring holes, and the flange is welded with a reinforcing plate, with a thickness of 18mm.
Base: Height 1200mm. The upper end is cylindrical, and the lower end is a small-at-the-top and large-at-the-bottom hexagonal pyramid body. The top of the pyramid body is 340mm away from the opposite side, and the bottom of the base is 740mm away from the opposite side.
7. The total height of the Chinese lantern, i.e., the gold cup to the ground is 10.5 meters. The shape of the flower carriage, the middle support, and the base are all proportional to the slope.
