Benefits:
- Lightweight, easier to unload and install, saving on labor costs
- Does not rot, rust, or corrode.
- Non-conductive
- Does not break down with age, coated in 25-year UV protective paint
- Stronger than equivalent steel in compression and tension, providing excellent durability and longevity in high wind conditions
- Designed to bend, not break, meaning that poles can naturally bend due to weather conditions and will return to their original form
- Fire resistance: poles do not sustain a flame as there is no fuel source for fire
Disclaimer: LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for improper loading of light fixtures or other attachments, use, or foundation design of light poles. We are solely a supplier of lighting solutions, metal halide replacement lights and poles for parking lots. Final pole assembly is the responsibility of the purchaser. Dimensions and specifications of a round or square composite light pole are subject to change without notice. See the data sheet for current pole data charts. Custom sizing is only available for large order quantities. Pole caps are used in place of other mounting options when necessary.
Please be advised that our composite poles are covered solely by a 7-year workmanship warranty, which ensures that the poles are free from defects from the manufacturing process, such as welds and structural integrity, for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear.
Product Overview
This square fiberglass light pole provides a 15-foot above-grade mounting height with a 3.5-foot direct-burial section. The 18.5-foot overall pole is intended for installations requiring a compact, non-conductive support structure.
The pole has a 4-inch square profile, .205-inch wall gauge, fluoropolymer coating, and included top cap. Its fiberglass construction resists rust, rot, and corrosion while allowing controlled flex under wind load.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is defined by the pole’s effective projected area ratings. EPA capacity is 23.4 at 70 mph, 17.2 at 80 mph, 12.9 at 90 mph, 9.8 at 100 mph, 7.5 at 110 mph, and 5.7 at 120 mph.
At higher wind speeds, EPA capacity decreases to 4.2 at 130 mph, 3.0 at 140 mph, 2.1 at 150 mph, and 1.3 at 160 mph. The fixture, bracket, and other mounted equipment must remain within the applicable EPA rating for the site wind speed.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-height, direct-burial pole with a 15-foot above-grade height. The supplied data does not identify adjustable height, tenon options, mounting arms, or control components.
Finish color options include bronze, black, white, gray, and custom colors. The top cap is included.
Longevity and Reliability
Fiberglass construction does not rot, rust, or corrode. The pole is coated with UV-protective paint stated to provide 25-year UV protection.
The pole is designed to bend under weather conditions and return to its original form. It is fire resistant and does not sustain a flame.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is constructed from fiberglass and weighs 51 pounds. It has a 4-inch square width and a .205-inch pole gauge.
Installation requires direct burial with 3.5 feet below grade. The fluoropolymer-coated exterior is available in bronze, black, white, gray, or custom colors.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits lower-height installations where fiberglass construction, direct burial installation, and wind-rated structural capacity are required. The 15-foot above-grade height suits layouts that do not require taller pole structures.
- roadway lighting
- campus lighting
- area lighting
- coastal lighting
- corrosive environment lighting
- wastewater facility lighting
The non-conductive fiberglass body and corrosion-resistant characteristics support use in coastal lighting, corrosive environment lighting, and wastewater facility lighting. Final fixture selection must remain within the applicable EPA rating for the project wind speed.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with 3.5 feet of the 18.5-foot total length below grade, leaving 15 feet above grade. Site preparation must maintain the required burial depth and pole alignment.
Review fixture EPA, bracket EPA, wind speed, and total mounted equipment before installation. The included top cap closes the top of the pole when no other top-mounted component is used.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
The 15-foot above-grade mounting height is used where roadway lighting, campus lighting, and area lighting require a lower pole profile. Direct-burial layouts place poles at planned locations without a base-mounted foundation connection.
In coastal lighting, corrosive environment lighting, and wastewater facility lighting, fiberglass construction avoids rust and corrosion associated with metal pole materials. Pole spacing and layout depend on the mounted fixture, target light levels, wind speed, and applicable EPA loading.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
The fiberglass pole is non-conductive and fire resistant. It does not sustain a flame.
This pole includes a 7-year warranty. Product data lists no certifications.
