High Mast Lighting

What Is High Mast Lighting?

LED High Mast Lights are high-power lights mounted on a very tall pole. High mast poles can accommodate up to 4 to 16 lights depending on your requirements and the poles used. These are powerful lights with broad and wide beam angles so the light they cast covers an expansive area.

How Tall Is High Mast Lighting?

High mast lighting can range from 40 feet to as high as 120 feet.

What Are the Benefits of using an Outdoor LED High Mast Fixtures?

First, you can expect to save 50% to 70% of your energy consumption and costs over HID Lamps / Metal Halide Lights. High mast lights allow light to be broadcast over a very large area from a single source. There is no need to install many poles with 1 or 2 lights. You can install 1 high mast pole and light up a very large area from one location.

LED lighting fixtures are very good for high mast lighting systems.  If you think about converting an HID / MH / HPS light on a high mast pole with many lights on it, the energy savings per pole is tremendous.

Another benefit is that LED High Mast Lights are instant on and instant off. They work well with motion sensors. In areas with limited activity, LED lights could dim using motion sensors. This will result in even more energy savings. What’s more, LEDs do not need a lot of maintenance, if any at all, over a very long period of time. Maintaining these types of lights can be costly considering their mounting height. And the fact that sometimes they’re installed in remote locations.

What Is a High Mast Lighting System?

This is a control system that lets you control your lights from a central computer location. All our high mast fixtures are compatible with any given system.

Do LED High Mast Lights Come with Surge Protection?

They do. Their built-in surge protectors can handle up to 20 kVA surges and more.

What is the Best Alternative to High Mast Lighting?

We like the use of our high mast flood lights. LED Flood lights can aim at specific locations. And they come with a wide variety of optic options providing great coverage for an area.

What Are Some Common Issues with HID / Metal Halide High Mast Luminaires?

Some of the common issues we hear with many MH and HPS – are the cost of running and the cost of maintenance.

We also hear the light quality, especially with high-pressure sodium is poor. So getting an upgrade to a high-quality light source is more than welcomed when converting over to LED.

Are LED High Mast Lights Light Output Powerful Enough to Replace 1000 Watt and 1500 Watt Metal Halide?

Yes, we can replace 750 Watt, 1000 Watt, 1500 Watt, and 2000 Watt HID / Metal Halide / High-Pressure Sodium Lights one-for-one with LED Lighting High Masts. In some cases, we could de-lamp (remove fixtures from the pole). This is because our LED lighting provide powerful light and we can do more with fewer fixtures.

Are there any Issues with LED High Mast Light Fixtures Installed Near the Coast?

No, but you should make sure you ask us to include the marine grade option. There’s only a slight cost for this option. It adds a marine-grade epoxy finish that is designed for sea coasts and saltwater environments.

How Do I Install LED High Mast Lights?

There isn’t anything different in installing a LED high mast light when compared to your old lighting. The mounting options are all the same, as is the wiring.

We offer both 100-277V and 277-480V driver solutions. We can handle both single-phase and three-phase power.

Before ordering, it would be helpful to know the EPA rating for the area. Let us know of any other special environmental conditions. We want to ensure the lights we offer will provide you with years of trouble-free operation.

High mast lights weigh less than the HID, MH, or HPS fixture they replace. So, it should not present a weight problem for the installation crew or affect the load rating of the pole.
