[0033] The above improvements are specifically as follows: Figures 1 to 6As shown: In urban lighting projects, decorative lighting fixtures are used to illuminate urban bridges and architectural landmarks. Because these fixtures are exposed to the environment, they are susceptible to environmental influences or human damage. Therefore, protective measures are necessary to extend their lifespan. These measures include a lamp head protection component 1 and a wire protection component 2, which are movably connected. The lamp head protection component 1 includes a spherical shell 11 with an opening. The spherical shell 11 protects the lamp head and consists of multiple layers, including a storage space layer 111, a heat insulation layer 113, and a heat dissipation layer 112. The heat insulation layer 113 isolates the storage space layer 111 from external temperatures affecting the interior of the spherical shell 11. The heat dissipation layer 112... 2. An arc-shaped cover 12 is installed inside the storage space layer 111 to dissipate heat from the inside of the spherical shell 11. The arc-shaped cover 12 is opened and closed by an opening mechanism 13. The storage space layer 111 has a two-layer structure, which is connected by a column. The arc-shaped cover 12 is located between the two layers. A partition 7 is installed inside the spherical shell 11 and is fixedly connected to the inside of the spherical shell 11.

The push block 132 is located inside the storage space layer 111, and one end of the push block 132 is connected to the hinge rod 131. One end is connected to the arc-shaped cover 12. A first slide is provided on the heat dissipation layer 112, and a sliding hole is provided on the storage space layer 111 corresponding to the first slide. One end of the hinge rod 131 passes through the first slide and the sliding hole and is connected to the push block 132. A guide channel 133 is provided on the partition 7. The guide channel 133 has a through groove. The hinge rod 131 is placed in the through groove. A pneumatic component 135 is provided on the side of the hinge rod 131. The pneumatic component 135 pushes the hinge rod 131 to move along the guide channel 133. The rod part of the hinge rod 131 moves along the first slide and the sliding hole. The push block 132 pushes the arc-shaped cover 12 to move simultaneously, realizing the opening of the arc-shaped cover 12 and realizing the communication between the inside of the spherical shell 11 and the external ambient air, thus accelerating heat dissipation. The pneumatic component 135 is controlled by a solenoid valve. Component 135 includes a cylinder fixed on the partition 7. The cylinder and the partition 7 are inclined. When the lamp head is lit and turned on, the solenoid valve is energized and starts to control the piston rod in the cylinder to push the hinge rod 131 to move, thereby pushing the arc-shaped cover 12 to open. When the lamp head is turned off, the solenoid valve is de-energized and the piston rod in the cylinder will automatically retract. The spring 134 set in the guide channel 133 will return the hinge rod 131 to its original position, realizing the closing of the arc-shaped cover 12. The spherical shell 11 provides waterproof and impact protection for the lamp head. When the lamp head generates high temperature during use, the arc-shaped cover 12 is opened by the opening mechanism 13 inside the spherical shell 11 to connect the internal and external air and achieve heat dissipation. Proper protection during use reduces the later maintenance cost.A first spherical channel 3 is provided on the outside of the spherical shell 11. A connecting ball 4 is connected to the first spherical channel 3 and can move along the first spherical channel 3. The connecting ball 4 extends and connects to a hemispherical shell 5. A spherical groove 51 is provided along the circumference of the end face of the hemispherical shell 5. A wire protection component 2 is connected to the spherical groove 51. The wire protection component 2 includes a first shell 21 and a second shell 22. The first shell 21 and the second shell 22 are arc-shaped. A cavity is provided inside the first shell 21. The second shell 22 is disposed in the cavity and moves back and forth along the cavity. The upper and lower end faces of the second shell 22 are provided with spherical grooves that fit the spherical groove 51. The rod has one end fixedly connected to the end face of the second housing 22, and the other end is a sphere movably connected to the spherical groove 51. The second housing 22 can be opened along the spherical groove 51. To prevent damage to the wires or arbitrary opening of the housing, a connector 6 is provided inside the second housing 22. The connector 6 includes a movable plate 61 inside the second housing 22. The movable plate 61 is provided with a toothed groove, and a gear is provided on the toothed groove. The second housing 22 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the toothed groove. Multiple clips are provided on the movable plate 61. The first clip 62 is hinged to the movable plate 61. The side end face of the second housing 22 is provided with an opening corresponding to the first clip 62. Two ends are exposed through the opening. The end face of the first housing 21 is matched with the first locking piece 62 and has a locking groove 211. Maintenance personnel are equipped with a rod that can connect to and rotate the gear to realize the movement of the tooth groove. When the moving plate 61 moves downward, the first locking piece 62 tilts and engages with the locking groove 211 to fix it, and the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are locked. When the moving plate 61 moves upward, the first locking piece 62 returns to vertical and disengages from the locking groove 211, and the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are opened. The interior of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is used to place the wires. The first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are made of heat-insulating material to prevent the wires from being damaged by the outside. Temperature causes wires to become brittle and even carbonize, affecting their lifespan. The wire protection component 2 and the lamp holder protection component 1 are connected by interconnected through holes on the first spherical channel 3, connecting ball 4, and hemispherical shell 5. Waterproof sealing rings are installed at the through holes. Both the lamp holder protection component 1 and the wire protection component 2 provide protection based on the characteristics of the lamp holder and the wire. The lamp holder needs heat dissipation during use to extend its lifespan, while the wire needs to be protected from external high temperatures to prevent brittleness or even carbonization, thus improving anti-theft performance. The lamp holder protection component 1 and the wire protection component 2 can be freely adjusted in angle, adapting to lighting fixture arrangements on buildings of different shapes, making them highly practical.
