25 Foot Round Tapered Steel Light Pole | 6.5 Inch Base Diameter | Anchor Base | High Wind Zone Rated

Product Overview

This 25 foot round tapered steel light pole is designed for outdoor area and roadway lighting applications requiring elevated mounting heights and high wind zone performance. The pole features a 6.5 inch base diameter and an 11 gauge steel construction, providing a balance of structural strength and manageable weight for installation. The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish delivers long-term corrosion resistance in exposed environments. Anchor base mounting supports secure installation on concrete foundations, commonly found in parking lots, commercial sites, and along roadways.

This pole is engineered for use with area, parking lot, and roadway luminaires, supporting a range of fixture types and EPA loads. Typical installations include commercial parking lots, municipal roadways, and industrial yards where 25 foot mounting heights are required for uniform light distribution and site coverage.

Core Performance and Output

The pole is rated for a maximum Effective Projected Area (EPA) of 12.9 at 70 mph, decreasing to 1.4 at 150 mph. This allows support for multiple fixtures or larger luminaires in moderate wind zones, with reduced fixture capacity as wind speed ratings increase. The 6.5 inch base diameter and 11 gauge wall thickness provide structural rigidity for elevated mounting heights and typical area lighting loads.

Hot dip galvanizing and powder coating protect the steel from corrosion, extending service life in outdoor environments. The anchor base design ensures stable installation on properly engineered concrete pads. Excessive fixture EPA or weight beyond rated limits can compromise pole performance, especially in high wind regions. Always verify total fixture and bracket EPA against site wind speed requirements.

Adjustability and Control Options

This pole is compatible with standard area and roadway lighting fixtures using typical mounting brackets, tenons, or direct arm attachments. The round tapered profile accommodates a range of luminaire mounting options, including single, double, or multi-fixture configurations within EPA limits.

No integrated electrical controls or wiring are included with the pole. Fixture-level controls, photocells, or sensors must be specified and installed separately. The pole provides internal space for wiring runs as required by fixture and site layout.

Longevity and Reliability

The steel construction, combined with hot dip galvanizing and powder coating, delivers long-term durability in outdoor and high-exposure environments. The finish resists corrosion, abrasion, and weathering, supporting reliable performance over years of service.

Anchor base installation allows for straightforward inspection and maintenance of both the pole and foundation. Routine checks for corrosion at the base and hardware integrity are recommended, especially in coastal or high-salt environments. The pole is covered by a 1 year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This pole is fabricated from 11 gauge steel, providing a balance of strength and manageable weight for handling and installation. The 25 foot height and 6.5 inch base diameter are suitable for most commercial and municipal area lighting layouts.

The hot dip galvanized and powder coated bronze finish offers both corrosion protection and a neutral appearance for integration into a variety of site aesthetics. The anchor base design uses a 9 inch bolt circle and 3.15 inch bolt projection for secure mounting to concrete foundations. Total pole weight is 163 lbs.

Where This Product Fits Best

This 25 foot steel light pole is suited for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting heights and reliable wind load performance. It is commonly used in:

• parking lot lighting
• roadway lighting
• area lighting
• commercial site lighting
• sports facility lighting
• campus lighting
• industrial yard lighting
• dealership lighting

The pole is designed for use in locations exposed to wind, precipitation, and temperature variation. The galvanized and powder coated finish supports long-term outdoor use. Not recommended for coastal or marine environments without additional corrosion protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Anchor base installation requires a properly engineered concrete foundation with matching bolt pattern and projection. The 25 foot length and 163 lb weight typically require equipment for safe handling and vertical placement. Internal wiring access is provided for fixture power feeds.

Routine inspection of the base, anchor bolts, and finish is recommended to maintain structural integrity and appearance. In high wind or high traffic areas, verify that fixture EPA and weight remain within rated limits for the installed wind zone. The pole is designed for permanent, fixed installations and is not intended for temporary or portable use.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Poles of this height are typically installed at 25 foot mounting heights to provide uniform illumination across large parking lots, commercial sites, and roadway perimeters. Fixture spacing and layout depend on luminaire output, site geometry, and required light levels.

Common practice is to use single or double fixtures per pole, with EPA and weight calculations verified for each configuration. Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles needed for coverage but may require higher output fixtures and careful glare management. Spacing and layout should be coordinated with photometric analysis for optimal results.

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 70 mph to 150 mph. The anchor base design supports secure installation in accordance with standard engineering practices.

This product includes a 1 year warranty. No additional certifications are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum fixture EPA this pole can support?

A: The maximum EPA is 12.9 at 70 mph. EPA capacity decreases as wind speed increases. Refer to the EPA chart for specific wind zone ratings.

Q: What type of foundation is required for anchor base installation?

A: A properly engineered concrete foundation with a 9 inch bolt circle and 3.15 inch bolt projection is required. Foundation design should be based on site soil conditions and wind load requirements.

Q: Is this pole suitable for coastal or marine environments?

A: The pole is hot dip galvanized and powder coated for corrosion resistance, but additional protection may be needed for coastal or marine applications.

Q: Can this pole be used for multiple fixtures?

A: Yes, as long as the total EPA and weight of all fixtures and brackets do not exceed the rated limits for the site wind speed.

Q: How should fixture spacing and pole layout be planned?

A: Fixture spacing and pole layout should be determined by photometric analysis, considering mounting height, fixture output, and site requirements.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this pole appropriate for sports facility lighting at 25 foot mounting heights?

A: Yes, this pole is commonly used for sports facility lighting where 25 foot mounting heights and EPA ratings meet the fixture and wind zone requirements.

Q: Can this pole be used in industrial yard lighting applications?

A: Yes, the structural capacity and finish are suitable for industrial yard lighting, provided EPA and wind load limits are observed.

Q: What is the recommended maintenance for this pole in outdoor environments?

A: Periodic inspection of the base, anchor bolts, and finish is recommended to ensure long-term structural integrity and appearance.
