This is a 20 foot above grade square steel light pole with a total length of 25 feet, designed for direct burial installation. The pole is constructed from 11 gauge steel and weighs 167 lbs.

The pole has a 4 inch width and is finished with hot dip galvanizing and a bronze powder coat. It includes a 2 3/8 inch tenon for fixture mounting.

Five feet of the pole are intended to be buried below grade, leaving 20 feet exposed above ground. The pole is supplied in bronze color.

This pole is covered by a 1 year warranty from LED Lighting Supply.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is suitable for outdoor lighting applications where a 20 foot mounting height is required. Typical environments include parking lots, perimeter lighting, and general area lighting for commercial and industrial properties.

The direct burial design is intended for installations where anchor bolts and base plates are not used. The 4 inch width and 11 gauge steel construction support a range of area and flood lighting fixtures.

Use this pole in locations where corrosion resistance is needed, as the hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish provides protection in outdoor environments.

EPA ratings at various wind speeds allow for selection based on local wind conditions and fixture loading requirements.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The pole?s EPA (Effective Projected Area) ratings are as follows: 10.2 at 70 mph, 9.3 at 80 mph, 7.5 at 90 mph, 6.2 at 100 mph, 4.2 at 110 mph, 3.6 at 120 mph, and 2.2 at 130 mph. These values determine the maximum allowable fixture and bracket area for each wind speed.

The 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with most standard slipfitter and tenon-mount fixtures. The 4 inch square profile provides rigidity and supports common area lighting applications.

The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish protects the steel from corrosion and weathering. The bronze color is standard for commercial exterior lighting poles.

The 11 gauge steel construction balances strength and weight for ease of handling during installation while supporting typical lighting loads.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole is designed for direct burial installation. Five feet of the pole must be set below grade in accordance with standard direct burial practices for stability and load transfer.

The pole?s 167 lb weight requires appropriate equipment and personnel for safe handling and placement. The 4 inch width allows for compatibility with a range of mounting accessories and fixtures.

The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish reduces maintenance requirements by providing long-term protection against rust and surface degradation.

Routine inspection of the above grade and exposed below grade sections is recommended to monitor for physical damage or corrosion over time.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

After installation, this pole provides a 20 foot mounting height for area or flood lighting fixtures. The 2 3/8 inch tenon allows you to mount slipfitter or tenon-based fixtures directly without additional adapters.

The direct burial design means there is no base plate or anchor bolt assembly to maintain. Once set and backfilled, the pole remains fixed in place and supports fixtures as needed for the application.

The galvanized and powder coated finish holds up to outdoor exposure, so routine cleaning and periodic inspection are typically all that?s required for ongoing use.

Fixture changes or upgrades can be made by accessing the tenon at the top of the pole. The 4 inch square profile supports a range of fixture sizes within the EPA limits for the site?s wind conditions.
