... lighting system is not just composed of the lamp, but encompasses a complete set of components, including luminaires, lamps, photocell relays, ballasts, luminaire support arms, brackets, conductors, poles and the power distribution network. Figure 2 illustrates the schematic of a public lighting system. According to Copel (2012), the arms can vary in length and angles of inclination, and it is imperative that they present sufficient mechanical resistance to support the weight of the luminaires, as well as the forces resulting from exposure to winds and vibrations of varying intensities. ...
