This street lamp was conceived to draw lines of light in the sky. It was the first and most remarkable use of fluorescent light in an urban environment and the highest-performance-lighting and setting system.
That band of light, visible in all the sky on a clear night, called the Milky Way includes our sun and its planets among its fixed features. Having observed the night sky for long hours, Johann Heinrich Lambert, member of the Berlin Science academy during the rule of Frederick the Great, wrote: "I was sitting next to the inn and when the objects of the earth lost their charm and stopped attracting my attention, still had the starry sky as the most worthy places of interest of all ... with such thoughts I introduced myself to the Milky Way ... This luminous arc which stretches the whole firmament and decorates the world like a ring of jewels awoke my astonishment and admiration".(1)
The Vía Láctea street lamp "is a street lamp that draws lines of light in the sky. If they are arranged consecutively, they form a continuous line. In fact, we had in mind lighting for pedestrian areas as they may be repeated easily and connected overhead, with the consequent saving of alternate columns. This way traffic obstacles are avoided and, at the same time, money is saved". (Enric Batlle and Joan Roig)
This very geometrical, simply-designed street lamp in galvanised steel, is equipped with a standard compact fluorescent lamp. This gives the lighting system with the highest performance. Its remarkable T-structure allows for the composition of varying length luminous rails or the construction of urban canopies.

It has a 150 x 100 mm rectangular-base column with control hatch and 100 x 50 mm forked support made in heat-galvanised structural steel. It has a rectangular screen (simple for one lamp or double for two lamps), made of the same material. The lamp is a totally-sealed standard model, already on the market HF-265 type, which has 58 W compact fluorescence tubes. The street lamp is delivered disassembled in three components: the column, the screen and the lamp. As an option, the street lamp may be delivered painted. Assembly instructions are included with the street lamp. The column is fastened using concrete cube, made on site, 22cm below ground level and using anchorage bolts. The foundations should provide a slot for the electrical connection. Anchorage bolts, pattern and moulding come with the column. Normal part replacement and maintenance.
Weights simple / double: 103 kg / 118 kg.
