Product Overview
This 10 Foot Round Steel Light Pole is designed for mounting area, roadway, and site lighting fixtures in commercial and industrial environments. The pole features a 3-inch diameter, 11 gauge steel construction, and an anchor base for secure installation on concrete foundations. The hot dip galvanized and powder coated black finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor use. Typical installations include parking lots, commercial sites, and low-mount roadway lighting where a 10-foot mounting height is appropriate.
The pole is supplied with a top cap, anchor bolts, and base cover. It does not include a tenon. This configuration is suitable for mounting fixtures with direct arm or side-mount brackets. The 10-foot height is commonly used for pedestrian-scale lighting, perimeter site lighting, and low-mount area illumination.
Core Performance and Output
This steel pole supports a maximum Effective Projected Area (EPA) of 6.4 at 90 mph, 4.2 at 100 mph, 3.7 at 110 mph, 2.5 at 120 mph, and 1.7 at 130 mph. These EPA ratings define the total surface area of fixtures and brackets that can be safely mounted at the top of the pole for each wind speed. The 3-inch diameter and 11 gauge wall thickness provide structural stability for single or dual fixture mounting within these EPA limits.
The anchor base design allows for secure attachment to concrete pads using the included anchor bolts. At 10 feet, this pole is best suited for low to moderate mounting heights. Excessive fixture weight or large bracket assemblies may exceed EPA limits, especially in higher wind zones. For installations requiring higher mounting or larger fixtures, a taller or heavier-duty pole should be considered.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole is designed for fixed mounting and does not include tilt or height adjustment features. Fixture orientation and aiming depend on the bracket or arm used with the selected luminaire. The pole does not include integrated control wiring or access panels; all wiring is routed through the base and up the pole shaft.
Control options such as photocells, motion sensors, or wireless nodes must be specified with the fixture or installed externally. The pole accommodates standard fixture mounting hardware compatible with a 3-inch round shaft.
Longevity and Reliability
The pole is fabricated from 11 gauge steel and finished with hot dip galvanizing followed by a black powder coat. This dual-layer protection resists corrosion and abrasion in outdoor environments. The included top cap prevents water ingress at the pole top, reducing internal corrosion risk.
Routine inspection of the base, anchor bolts, and finish is recommended to maintain long-term performance. The 1-year warranty covers material and manufacturing defects. In typical commercial site conditions, the pole provides reliable service life when installed and maintained according to standard practices.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole measures 10 feet in total height with a 3-inch outside diameter and weighs 70 pounds. The 7.24-inch bolt circle matches standard anchor base patterns for commercial lighting poles. The 11 gauge steel shaft provides rigidity for low to moderate mounting heights and fixture loads.
The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish delivers a uniform black appearance and enhanced corrosion resistance. The anchor base is designed for flush mounting to concrete pads. The pole is supplied with a base cover and top cap for a finished installation. No tenon is included; fixtures must be compatible with direct side or arm mounting.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 10-foot steel pole is intended for outdoor lighting applications where a low mounting height is required. It is commonly used in commercial parking lots, site perimeters, and low-mount roadway or area lighting. The EPA and wind ratings support single or dual fixture installations in moderate wind zones. The black finish and clean profile suit both utilitarian and architectural site designs.
- parking lot lighting
- area lighting
- roadway lighting
- commercial site lighting
- sports facility lighting
- campus lighting
- industrial yard lighting
- dealership lighting
The pole is suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and a finished appearance are required. Not intended for high-mount or high-wind installations beyond the stated EPA limits.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires a concrete foundation with the included anchor bolts set to the specified bolt circle and projection. The anchor base design allows for straightforward leveling and secure attachment. All wiring is routed through the base and up the pole shaft to the fixture mounting point.
Routine maintenance includes inspection of the base, anchor bolts, and finish. The powder coated surface should be checked for chips or abrasion, especially in high-traffic areas. The pole is not designed for climbing or banner mounting. For long-term reliability, ensure that fixture EPA and weight do not exceed the rated limits for the local wind zone.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This pole is typically installed at 10-foot mounting height for pedestrian-scale lighting, perimeter illumination, and low-mount area lighting. Fixture spacing depends on the light distribution and output of the selected luminaires. In parking lots and site perimeters, poles are often spaced 30?50 feet apart for uniform coverage.
Single or dual fixtures are mounted using side arms or direct brackets compatible with a 3-inch round shaft. Higher EPA fixtures or large bracket assemblies may require reduced spacing or alternate pole selection. Using higher output fixtures can reduce pole count but may increase glare at low mounting heights.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
The pole is manufactured from structural steel and finished with hot dip galvanizing and powder coating for corrosion resistance. EPA ratings are provided for wind speeds from 90 to 130 mph. The anchor base and included hardware meet standard commercial installation requirements.
This product includes a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. No additional certifications are stated. All installation work should comply with local codes and site requirements.
