High-mast lighting

High-mast lighting is like a big, tall flashlight that's used to light up really big areas like parking lots, sports fields or highways. It's called "high-mast" because it stands really high up in the air, like a tall tree.

The light is at the top of a tall pole, and it shines down on the area below it. This is really useful because it makes sure that everything in the area is nice and bright, so people can see where they're going and be safe.

The light bulb that's used in high-mast lighting is really strong and can be seen from really far away. This is helpful because people can find the area they need to go to even if they don't know where it is.

So in short, high-mast lighting is a big, tall flashlight that helps people see in big areas like parking lots, sports fields or highways, making them safe and easier to find.
