Product Overview
This is a 25-foot total length round fiberglass light pole designed for direct burial installation with 20 feet of usable height above grade. The pole tapers from a 6-inch base diameter to 5.3 inches at the tip and weighs 80 pounds.
The fiberglass construction provides a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel or aluminum poles. The pole ships with an acrylic enamel finish in bronze, with custom color options available.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is rated for high wind zone applications. The EPA ratings allow fixture loading up to 12 square feet at 70 mph, 7.5 square feet at 100 mph, 5.5 square feet at 130 mph, and 3 square feet at 160 mph. These ratings determine which fixtures and how many can be mounted based on site-specific wind exposure requirements.
Direct burial installation eliminates the need for anchor bolts or concrete base plates. The 5-foot buried depth provides the structural embedment required to support the above-grade section under load.
Performance and Functional Considerations
Fiberglass poles do not conduct electricity, which can be a deciding factor in applications where electrical safety during contact or maintenance is a concern. The material does not rust or corrode, making it suitable for coastal, chemical, or high-moisture environments where steel poles would require additional protective coatings or more frequent inspection.
At 80 pounds, this pole is significantly lighter than comparable steel or aluminum poles of the same height. This affects handling, shipping, and installation labor requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole requires a direct burial foundation with the bottom 5 feet of the pole set below grade. Foundation design and soil conditions are outside the scope of the pole itself and are the responsibility of the installer or project engineer.
The acrylic enamel finish provides the exterior surface protection. LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for foundation design, improper fixture loading, or final pole assembly. All loading calculations and mounting configurations must be verified against the EPA ratings before installation.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facilities typically select this pole for parking lots, pathways, or perimeter lighting where a 20-foot mounting height suits the site layout and fixture coverage requirements. The EPA ratings are matched against the effective projected area of the selected fixtures to confirm the combination is structurally appropriate for the local wind zone.
The fiberglass material is often chosen where corrosion resistance is needed without ongoing maintenance, or where non-conductivity is preferred for safety reasons. The lighter weight compared to metal poles can reduce equipment requirements during installation.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is covered by a 15-year workmanship warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects including welds and structural integrity. Damage from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear is not covered.
Dimensions and specifications are subject to change. Current pole data charts should be referenced on the data sheet for final verification. Custom sizing is available for large order quantities only. Pole caps are used in place of other mounting options when necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total pole length versus above-grade height?
The total pole length is 25 feet. When installed, 20 feet remains above grade and 5 feet is buried below grade.
What wind speeds is this pole rated for?
The pole has EPA ratings for 70 mph, 100 mph, 130 mph, and 160 mph wind speeds. The allowable fixture area decreases as wind speed increases: 12 EPA at 70 mph down to 3 EPA at 160 mph.
What colors are available?
The standard finish is bronze acrylic enamel. Custom colors are available.
What is the warranty coverage?
The pole carries a 15-year workmanship warranty covering manufacturing defects. External damage, misuse, and normal wear are excluded.
Is this pole conductive?
No. Fiberglass is a non-conductive material.
