Product Overview
This is a 30 foot above grade square fiberglass light pole with a 5 inch width, designed for direct burial installation. The pole is supplied with a 6 foot below grade section for secure anchoring.
The pole weighs 149 lbs and is available in bronze, black, white, gray, or custom color options. The wall thickness is 0.25 inches.
It is coated in a 25-year UV protective paint and is non-conductive. The fiberglass construction does not rot, rust, or corrode, and does not break down with age.
The pole is designed to bend under wind load and return to its original form. It does not sustain a flame and offers fire resistance due to the absence of a fuel source.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is suitable for outdoor lighting applications where a 30 foot mounting height is required. It is commonly used in parking lots, sports venues, distribution centers, and large commercial or industrial sites.
It is appropriate for environments where corrosion, rust, or rot are concerns, including coastal, humid, or chemically exposed locations. The non-conductive nature of fiberglass is beneficial in areas where electrical isolation is required.
The pole is designed for direct burial, eliminating the need for anchor bolts or base plates. It is suitable for new construction or retrofit projects where below grade installation is feasible.
Color selection allows for visual integration with site aesthetics or compliance with local requirements.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports an Effective Projected Area (EPA) of 13 at 70 mph, 8 at 80 mph, 4.7 at 90 mph, and 2.4 at 100 mph. These values define the maximum allowable fixture and bracket wind loading at each wind speed.
The fiberglass construction provides high strength in both compression and tension, supporting durability in high wind conditions. The pole is designed to flex under load and return to its original shape, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure.
The 0.25 inch wall thickness and 5 inch width provide structural stability for mounting luminaires and accessories within the EPA limits. The 25-year UV protective coating maintains surface integrity and color stability over time.
The non-conductive and fire-resistant properties support use in environments with electrical or fire risk considerations.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole is lightweight at 149 lbs, making it easier to handle, unload, and install compared to steel or concrete alternatives. Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 6 feet below grade.
The fiberglass material does not require grounding for electrical safety due to its non-conductive properties. It does not rot, rust, or corrode, reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
The pole is coated with a UV protective paint rated for 25 years, minimizing surface degradation and color fading. The design allows the pole to flex in high winds and return to its original form, supporting long-term structural integrity.
Color options allow for matching to site requirements or preferences. The pole does not sustain a flame and will not contribute to fire spread.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, the pole provides a stable mounting point for area lighting fixtures, floodlights, or sports lighting within the specified EPA and wind speed limits. The direct burial design means there are no exposed base plates or anchor bolts at grade.
Facility teams can select the color that best matches site requirements or branding. The UV protective coating maintains appearance and surface integrity with minimal upkeep.
The fiberglass construction allows the pole to flex in strong winds and return to its original position, reducing the risk of permanent deformation or failure. The non-conductive material supports use in areas where electrical isolation is needed.
Routine inspection is limited to visual checks for surface damage or impact. No ongoing corrosion or rust mitigation is required.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
The pole is non-conductive and fire resistant. It does not sustain a flame and does not provide a fuel source for fire.
The fiberglass construction eliminates the risk of electrical conduction through the pole. The product carries a 7 year warranty from LED Lighting Supply.
The UV protective coating is rated for 25 years of exposure. The pole does not rot, rust, or corrode in outdoor environments.
EPA ratings at specified wind speeds define safe fixture and bracket loading for site-specific wind conditions.
