Aianos makes bespoke solutions for pole mounted floodlights at school and sports stadia. Aianos recently installed pole mounted floodlight guards at a brand new school in East London. The guards were mounted in a non-invasive way to the existing fixings of the MANITOBA floodlights.
Pole mounted floodlight guards
AIANO makes pole mounted floodlights guards to fit directly to the floodlight unit. Wherever possible we design the guard so that it can be fitted in a non-invasive way using the existing floodlight fixings. When we asked the project manager how we could have improved the guards he answered, “You can’t improve them. They are exactly right.”

The guards are strong and well made from 25 x 25 x 2.64mm (1” x 1” 12swg) steel weld mesh on a 5.35mm (5swg) frame. AIANO pole mounted floodlight guards are built to last.
The guards are hot dip galvanized after manufacture. Hot dip galvanizing provides reliable long-term protection from corrosion.
We can design a bespoke solution for most models and types of floodlights and we have a number of stock solutions for specific floodlights.

We are now looking for guards to fit over 6ft fluorescent strip lights.
I am reluctant to buy the guards that have to be screwed to the concrete ceiling as this creates problems when having them installed and also when needing to change the tubes.
I am wondering if it would be feasible to have guards made that could slide over the diffuser and end clamps to basically hang on the inverted T shape of the light fitting. I can email a sketch to illustrate what I mean. They would be open ended so they can just be slid off the end of the light fitting when we need to change the tubes.
Our light fittings inclusive of the end clamps are 1790mm long so the guard would need to be at least 1800mm in length to allow for any lateral movement once in situ .
The diffuser cover end profile is 193mm wide x 62mm high so to allow clearance for fitting I reckon the guard profile would need to be 200mm X 72mm then with a “top” return of about 65mm (see attached sketch). This would leave a gap of about 12mm either side of the part of the fitting that is screwed to the ceiling. This should be small enough to prevent the cage being knocked off “sideways”.
The need is to prevent the balls knocking the diffusers off, so the guards would just need to be light weight (no pun intended) so as not to be too heavy to hang on the existing light fitting whilst just strong enough to spread the impact of the ball.
We would need 12 guards.
