Product Overview
This 30-foot round tapered fiberglass pole is designed for area lighting applications requiring a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant structural support. The pole measures 8.5 inches in diameter at the base, tapering to 5.3 inches at the tip, and weighs 112 pounds. The anchor base mounting configuration requires embedded foundation bolts for installation.
The pole is finished in bronze acrylic enamel and is rated for a maximum of 3 EPA at 100 mph wind load. Foundation bolt requirements include 1-inch by 36-inch anchor bolts with 4-leg configuration, 6-inch thread, and 4-inch projection. The bolt circle dimension falls between 11 and 12 inches.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fiberglass pole is appropriate for parking areas, pathways, building perimeters, and outdoor spaces where post top or shoebox-style area luminaires are specified. The 30-foot height positions lighting for coverage across vehicle and pedestrian zones at commercial and light industrial sites.
Fiberglass construction makes this pole suitable where electrical non-conductivity or resistance to corrosive conditions is a factor, including coastal areas, chemical processing perimeters, or locations with salt exposure. The tapered round profile provides a finished architectural appearance for retail, campus, and municipal applications.
Performance and Functional Considerations
EPA ratings determine the total effective projected area of luminaires and attachments the pole can support under specified wind speeds. This pole supports 10 EPA at 70 mph, 7 EPA at 80 mph, 5 EPA at 90 mph, and 3 EPA at 100 mph. All fixture and mounting hardware EPA values must be calculated against the appropriate wind speed for the installation site.
The 112-pound pole weight is substantially lighter than steel or aluminum equivalents at this height, which affects rigging and crane requirements during installation. The tapered geometry concentrates structural load at the base where the anchor connection provides maximum support.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This anchor base pole requires a poured concrete foundation with embedded anchor bolts set to the specified bolt circle and projection dimensions. Foundation design and bolt placement are the responsibility of the installer and must account for local soil conditions and frost depth. LED Lighting Supply does not provide foundation engineering.
The acrylic enamel finish in bronze provides surface protection against UV exposure and weathering. Fiberglass does not rust or corrode, eliminating the repainting cycles and base corrosion inspections associated with steel poles. Periodic visual inspection of the anchor bolt connection and base plate is standard practice for any pole installation.
Final pole assembly, fixture loading calculations, and structural verification are the responsibility of the purchaser. Pole specifications are subject to change, and current data sheets should be referenced before finalizing foundation and fixture plans.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facilities typically mount post top decorative luminaires or forward-throw shoebox fixtures to this pole for parking lot and pathway illumination. The 30-foot mounting height is common for commercial parking areas where light distribution needs to reach across multiple driving lanes or parking rows.
The EPA rating determines how many fixtures and what size fixtures can be mounted. At sites with 100 mph design wind speed, the 3 EPA limit typically allows one or two small to mid-size luminaires depending on their individual EPA values. In lower wind zones, the higher EPA allowances support larger fixtures or multi-head configurations.
Fiberglass poles are often selected for locations where steel corrosion has been a maintenance issue or where non-conductive material is specified for safety or code compliance. The lighter weight compared to steel also simplifies replacement projects where crane access or lifting capacity is limited.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is covered by a 15-year workmanship warranty. The warranty covers defects from the manufacturing process, including welds and structural integrity. Damage resulting from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear is not covered.
