It is also possible to think lighting poles as a platform for other functions than functional street lighting. This approach was a driver for Lighting Designer Ari Tiilikainen when he designed special poles to Oikokatu in Jyväskylä. Double pole structure allows a different way to install post top luminaires and space in between the poles enables to mount led illuminated signboard where is possible to attach announcements, commercials or act as a creative platform for little artists. This design approach combines two common urban functions together: communication and lighting.
