Housing and communal services lighting devices are the optimal solution for street lighting. We understand the model range and technical characteristics of lamps.
When choosing a street lamp, special attention should be paid to its tightness, resistance to mechanical stress, and anti-vandal properties. These characteristics are fully present in the housing and communal services lamp, which can be installed on streets, in parks, at industrial enterprises and agricultural facilities, to illuminate central streets or courtyards.
Description and design
Energy-saving housing and communal services lamps GOST 9.301-86 and 9.303-84 (analogous to GKU and RKU) are models of lamps that are installed to illuminate entrances, squares, greenhouses, warehouses and other public places. They are known for their durability and resistance to aggressive environmental factors.

Decoding of housing and communal services lamps:
- Zh is the designation for a sodium lamp; this lighting device uses a sodium tubular model (HPS);
- K – installed on the console;
- U - used for street lighting.
Next, traditionally comes the digital designation. For example, ZHKU-1-16-250-001 (there are also analogues 60, 150):
- 01 – series of a specific device;
- 250 – rated operating power;
- 16 – parameters of a sodium lamp;
- 003 – without lampshade and glass, while there is also 003 – with protective glass.
Naturally, if the device needs to be installed outdoors, then it is necessary to use housing and communal services only with glass with anti-vandal properties. It is characterized by resistance to mechanical and physical influences. Also, all models presented in stores have excellent sealing performance. These are necessary qualities for outdoor lighting, because if dust or moisture gets on the contacts of the lamp, its operation is immediately disrupted.

A protected LED lamp is also used for such purposes. It has a brighter glow, but such lighting technology is rarely used for work on the streets. More often they are used to equip entrances and closed warehouse or production premises.

Connection diagram for a street utility lamp and its characteristics
Hello, dear readers of the Electrician's Notes website.
In the article about the overhaul of the electrical wiring of a residential building, I said that we installed street lamps ZHKU02-70-003 UHL1 “Pegasus” for the external (canopy) lighting of the entrances.
Today I decided to tell you about the connection diagram for these lamps and their technical characteristics. By the way, at our enterprise they are installed as lighting for central roads, pedestrian paths and production areas. I installed the same lamp at my dacha to illuminate the yard.
These lamps have found wide application not only in industry and everyday life, but also in agricultural activities, for example, for lighting greenhouses and greenhouses when growing various types of plants.
First of all, let's start with the decoding of the abbreviation ZhKU02-70-003:
- F - type of lamp HPS (Arc Sodium Tubular)
- K - console installation method
- U - intended for street (outdoor) lighting
- 02 - episode
- 70 - rated power of the HPS lamp (W)
- 003 - with protective glass
See the table for other technical specifications:
This lamp can be operated within the following temperatures: from -60°C to +45°C. The service life is 10 years.
Here are its overall dimensions.
The lamp has a metal body painted with special anti-corrosion powder paint.
The installation bracket has a diameter of 48 (mm). It is mounted on a wall or other surface, preferably at a height of 5-8 (m). The lamp is installed at an angle of 15-20 degrees to the horizon, although in principle, the angle of inclination can be not only within these limits.
The protective heat-resistant glass is made of polycarbonate. It is very durable, one might even say “vandal-proof”, and it does not change its light transmittance when exposed to direct rays of the sun (ultraviolet).
The glass is attached to the lamp body with three latches and using a mounting tape or chain (in the photo below there is a screw for the tape or chain near the top latch). This is very convenient, because... When replacing a lamp, there is no need to hold the glass in your hands - your hands are completely free.
At the base of the protective glass there is a rubber gasket. It gives good sealing to the optical part of the lamp (IP53).
How to connect a street lamp for housing and communal services
Take the HPS lamp and carefully screw it into the socket.

The industrial lamp ZHKU-16 using a DNAT lamp has gained popularity due to many years of uninterrupted operation when lighting mainly roads, highways, access roads and territories. The monochrome “yellow” color of the HPS LCD glow creates contrasting lighting. The standard service life of a DNAT lamp (domestic) is approximately 1.5 years. The lamp itself, with timely maintenance, lasts 5-10 years.PRICE for ZhKU-16 lamps from 02/01/2020

Dimensions and dimensions of ZHKU-16
Installation and maintenance of the ZHKU-16 lamp:
- It is recommended to install housing and communal services lamps on L-shaped support brackets at an angle of 15-20° to the horizontal, the diameter of the bracket head pipe is 48 mm. The installation height of the lamps is 6-12 m.
- To maintain the luminaire, it is necessary to unscrew the special screw securing the plastic cover to the control gear compartment and remove the cover. This will provide free access to the inductor, IZU, capacitors, terminal blocks with mounting wires, as well as parts for attaching the lamp to the support bracket (brackets, bolts, nuts).
- To replace the lamp lamp, you need to open two locks on the protective glass. Rotate the protective glass on the hinge to a vertical position. This will provide free access to the optical compartment and the lamp with socket.
- Assemble the lamp in reverse order.

Installation
For installation, a special bracket is used for the housing and communal services lamp on a support. Various models can be installed on a pole, a wall, or a special plumb line - a console. The most convenient wall lamp is the ZhKU type; its installation does not require special supports. These pendant lamps are used to illuminate areas close to buildings.
Photo - drawing of the bracket
It should be noted that the mounting of lighting devices may vary depending on the specific model. For example, to connect Cobra series lamps, the optimal height parameter would be 6–8 meters. If you install them higher, the luminous flux will not be able to sufficiently illuminate the entrusted area.
Installation Rules:
- The lamp must be installed at an angle. Depending on the requirements of the manufacturer and the specific model, this may be an angle of 15 or 20 degrees. In some cases it is slightly larger. If these requirements are ignored, the luminous flux will not be bright enough, and the angle of incidence of the light will be narrow;
- In most cases, the minimum height for the mounting bracket from the ground is 6 meters;
- The lamp is assembled step by step as follows: the lamp is screwed into the socket according to the manufacturer's instructions. After this, the protective glass is inserted. To install it, latches on the body are used. The power wires need to be connected to the terminal block. The zero, ground and phase contacts are color coded;
- After installing the connections, check the operation of the choke and mount the lamp in the chosen location;
- Further operation does not require any intervention. When a lamp burns out, it is replaced with one of similar power and type of base.
