Product Overview
This 25 foot round tapered steel light pole is designed for outdoor area and roadway lighting applications requiring elevated mounting heights and robust wind load performance. The pole features a 6.5 inch base diameter and is constructed from 11 gauge steel, providing structural strength for supporting multiple or large-area luminaires. The anchor base design allows for secure installation on concrete foundations, commonly found in parking lots, commercial sites, and along roadways.
The pole is hot dip galvanized and powder coated in bronze for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in exposed environments. This model is rated for high wind zones, making it suitable for installations where wind loads are a primary concern. Typical use cases include parking lot lighting and commercial site area lighting where 25 foot mounting heights are standard.
Core Performance and Output
This pole supports a maximum Effective Projected Area (EPA) of 12.9 at 70 mph, decreasing to 1.4 at 150 mph. The structural capacity allows for mounting multiple fixtures or large-area luminaires, provided total EPA and weight do not exceed rated limits. The 6.5 inch base diameter and 11 gauge wall thickness deliver rigidity and vibration resistance at full height.
Wind load ratings are specified for each wind speed increment, supporting compliance with local codes and site-specific engineering requirements. Excessive fixture EPA or weight above rated values will compromise pole integrity and is not supported. For installations in coastal or extreme wind environments, verify EPA and mounting height against site conditions.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole is designed for fixed mounting of area, roadway, or site lighting fixtures. The anchor base allows for precise alignment during installation. Fixture mounting options depend on the selected luminaire and bracket system; the pole accommodates standard tenon or side-arm mounts as required by most commercial and industrial luminaires.
No integrated electrical controls or access doors are included. All wiring and control devices must be installed per fixture and site requirements. The pole finish supports compatibility with photocells, occupancy sensors, and wireless controls when specified at the fixture level.
Longevity and Reliability
The pole is hot dip galvanized prior to powder coating, providing a dual-layer corrosion barrier for long-term outdoor use. This finish resists rust and surface degradation in most commercial and industrial environments. The 11 gauge steel construction maintains structural integrity under repeated wind loading and fixture vibration.
Routine inspection of anchor bolts, base plate, and finish is recommended as part of long-term maintenance. The pole is designed for decades of service life when installed and maintained according to industry standards. Warranty coverage is 1 year from date of installation.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole measures 25 feet in total height with a 6.5 inch base diameter and 9 inch bolt circle. The 11 gauge steel construction provides a balance of strength and manageable weight for handling and installation. The pole weighs 163 lbs and is finished in bronze powder coat over galvanized steel.
The anchor base design includes a 3.15 inch bolt projection for secure attachment to concrete foundations. The tapered round profile offers improved wind resistance and reduced vibration compared to straight or square poles at similar heights. All welds and finishes meet commercial-grade standards for exterior site lighting poles.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 25 foot steel pole is intended for outdoor environments requiring elevated lighting and high wind load performance. It is commonly installed in:
- parking lot lighting
- roadway lighting
- area lighting
- commercial site lighting
- sports facility lighting
- campus lighting
- industrial yard lighting
- dealership lighting
The galvanized and powder coated finish supports use in urban, suburban, and industrial settings. The pole is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where anchor base installation is feasible. Not recommended for marine or corrosive coastal environments without additional protective measures.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires a concrete foundation with anchor bolts set to the specified bolt circle and projection. The pole is lifted and secured to the base using standard hardware. Proper alignment and torqueing of anchor bolts are critical for long-term stability, especially in high wind zones.
Routine maintenance includes inspection of the base, anchor bolts, and finish. Repainting or touch-up may be required if the powder coat is damaged. The pole is compatible with most commercial area and roadway luminaires using standard mounting brackets. Ensure total fixture EPA and weight remain within rated limits for the installed wind zone.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting height is 25 feet above grade, supporting wide-area lighting layouts in parking lots, roadways, and commercial sites. Poles are spaced based on fixture output, site geometry, and required light levels, often ranging from 2 to 6 poles per lot or roadway segment.
Multiple fixtures or large-area luminaires can be mounted if total EPA and weight do not exceed pole ratings. Higher wind zones may require reduced fixture count or lower EPA brackets. Spacing and layout should be coordinated with photometric analysis to ensure uniform coverage and compliance with site requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is engineered and rated for high wind zones, with EPA ratings specified for wind speeds from 70 to 150 mph. All materials and finishes meet commercial site lighting standards. The anchor base design supports secure installation in accordance with industry best practices.
Warranty is 1 year. No additional certifications are specified for this model. Follow all local codes and engineering requirements for pole selection and installation.
