Product Overview
This is a 20 foot above grade round fiberglass light pole designed for direct burial installation. The total pole length is 25 feet, with 5 feet intended for burial below grade and 20 feet exposed above grade.
The pole has a 6 inch diameter at the base, tapering to 5.3 inches at the tip. It weighs 80 pounds and is finished with an acrylic enamel coating. Standard color is bronze, with custom color options available.
This pole is rated for high wind zones, with EPA (Effective Projected Area) ratings of 12 at 70 mph, 7.5 at 100 mph, 5.5 at 130 mph, and 3 at 160 mph. The material is fiberglass, which offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel or aluminum poles.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is suitable for outdoor lighting applications where direct burial installation is preferred and high wind loading is a concern. Typical environments include parking lots, perimeter lighting, sports courts, and open areas exposed to severe weather.
Fiberglass construction is appropriate for locations where corrosion from moisture, salt, or chemicals is a concern. The pole’s EPA ratings support use in coastal, hurricane-prone, or other high wind regions.
Custom color options allow for integration with site-specific design requirements or branding needs. The 20 foot above grade height supports mounting of area, roadway, or flood lighting fixtures at standard heights for commercial and industrial sites.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole’s EPA ratings define the maximum allowable fixture and bracket area at specified wind speeds. For example, at 100 mph, the pole supports up to 7.5 square feet of combined fixture and bracket area. Exceeding these values can compromise structural integrity.
Fiberglass construction provides a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant solution. The acrylic enamel finish adds durability and UV resistance. The 80 pound weight allows for manageable handling during installation compared to heavier metal poles.
Direct burial installation eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates. The 5 foot burial depth is designed to provide stability and meet typical engineering requirements for this pole height and wind rating.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed by direct burial, requiring excavation to a depth of 5 feet. No base plate or anchor bolts are used. The pole’s weight and material allow for manual handling with standard equipment.
Fiberglass poles do not rust or corrode, making them suitable for long-term use in wet or chemically aggressive environments. The acrylic enamel finish should be inspected periodically for surface wear or damage, especially in high-traffic or abrasive locations.
Custom color options are available at the time of order. Once installed, the pole requires minimal maintenance beyond routine inspection for physical damage or finish degradation.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this pole supports area, roadway, or flood lighting fixtures at a 20 foot mounting height. The fiberglass construction means you do not need to worry about rust or corrosion in daily operation, even in coastal or chemical-exposed sites.
The pole’s EPA ratings are used to determine the maximum fixture and bracket area that can be safely mounted, based on local wind conditions. You will need to confirm that the total area of your fixtures and brackets does not exceed the EPA limits for your site’s wind zone.
Direct burial installation means there are no exposed base plates or anchor bolts at grade, reducing trip hazards and simplifying grounds maintenance. The pole’s finish can be cleaned with standard non-abrasive methods as needed.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is rated for high wind zones with defined EPA values at 70, 100, 130, and 160 mph. These ratings allow use in severe weather environments when installed according to specifications.
The fiberglass material is non-conductive and corrosion resistant. The acrylic enamel finish provides additional surface protection.
LED Lighting Supply provides a 15 year warranty on this pole.
