English term or phrase: Area lighting masts

Area lighting masts feature a ladder or climbing rungs, a
rest platform (optional) at 20m on the higher masts,
and an enclosed platform onto which floodlights can
be mounted on any side.

Practical, simple to build on site and cheap to transport, the ‘hub and spoke’ bracket arrangement is most common for Area lighting. They make it possible to achieve both 180° and 360° floodlight layouts.

xxxmediamatrix: The translation must, in Asker's context, differentiate adequately between 'area' lighting (car-parks, places where the public queue to buy tickets, etc) and lighting of the place where the sport is played, for which the requirements are very different.

Tony M: I have to agree with MM here: the distinction being made is an important one, and this solution would amount to under-translation.

area lighting masts mâts prévus pour l'éclairage d'une zone particulière

Explanation:
"La traverse à brides est un produit pour l’éclairage des grands espaces, conçue pour porter jusqu’à 8 projecteurs éclairant sur 1 ou 2 faces, sur des mâts dont la hauteur dépasse rarement 25m.

On accède en général en tête de mât au moyen d’échelons avec câble de sécurité.

L’entretien des projecteurs se fait à partir de l’accès par échelons; C’est pourquoi on limite à 2 le nombre de projecteurs par rang (3 pour le rang supérieur).

Cependant, pour faciliter l’entretien des projecteurs, il est possible de fournir une plate-forme d’entretien venant se brider sur le mât, à l’arrière des traverses (PFD12)."

area lighting mast pylone d'éclairage de zone

Explanation:
Although there are plenty of precedents for 'pylone d'éclairage', I am much less sure about 'area' — to start with, I'm not even quite sure what specific distinction is being made here in EN? I assume it means 'for lighting a (large) area', rather than, say, for illuminating the façade of a building.

However, I feel very far from confident about the use of 'zone' for this in FR, and comments / alternative suggestions wll be most welcome!

I am somewhat puzzled by the fact that 'pylone d'éclairage' seems to return many times more results on Google than 'mât d'éclairage'.

In my research, I discovered that 'area lighting' is different from 'sports' and 'street' lighting — I think it means lighting large areas rather vaguely, mainly (usually) from above, as distinct from lighting sports stadia etc., where the lighting is more targetted, and usually from farther away.

Notes to answerer

Asker: As you say, I think it means that they can light a "large area", definitely not the façade of a building, but a stadium or other sport venue (cricket ground, etc.)
