[0002] Guardrail lighting is a type of outdoor landscape lighting that can both illuminate the road surface and create a unique scene at night. It is widely used in lighting projects for roads, bridges, overpasses, interchanges, and riverbanks.
[0003] Currently, guardrail lighting is typically achieved by directly mounting the light source assembly onto the guardrail tube. Common installation methods include suspending the light source assembly from the guardrail tube or fixing it directly to the outside of the guardrail tube. While these methods meet lighting requirements and facilitate maintenance of the light source assembly, the external placement of the light source assembly results in a less compact overall structure, poor aesthetics, and increased susceptibility to damage. Another method involves creating a cavity within the guardrail tube and placing the light source assembly inside. This improves the overall appearance of the lighting, but it hinders the installation and subsequent maintenance of the internal light source assembly. Utility Model Content
