Product Overview
This is a 38 foot above grade round fiberglass pole with a total length of 45 feet, designed for direct burial installation. The pole has an 11.85 inch diameter and a wall thickness of 0.532 inches. It is manufactured to ANSI Class 2 standards and is rated as a 45 foot Class 2 wood pole equivalent.
The fiberglass construction provides a non-conductive, fire and corrosion resistant solution for outdoor lighting and mounting applications. The pole is finished with a fluoropolymer coating and is available in bronze, black, white, gray, or custom colors.
This pole weighs 760 pounds and is designed for high wind zone applications, with EPA ratings up to 160 mph. The buried depth below grade is 7 feet, supporting stability and structural integrity.
The product carries a 7 year warranty from LED Lighting Supply.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fiberglass pole is suitable for outdoor environments where high wind resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical non-conductivity are required. It is commonly used in areas exposed to severe weather or corrosive conditions, such as coastal regions, industrial sites, and sports complexes.
The direct burial design eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates, making it appropriate for new construction or retrofit projects where below-grade installation is feasible. The pole's fire resistance and UV protective coating support use in locations with wildfire risk or prolonged sun exposure.
Color options allow for visual integration with site aesthetics or compliance with local requirements. The pole is intended for applications where a 45 foot Class 2 wood pole equivalent is specified or required.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole is rated for wind loads with EPA values ranging from 142 at 70 mph to 10.5 at 160 mph. This supports use in high wind zones and hurricane-prone areas, provided that fixture and bracket selections remain within the specified EPA limits for the site wind speed.
The fiberglass material does not rot, rust, or corrode, and is non-conductive, reducing risk in electrically sensitive or corrosive environments. The fluoropolymer coating and 25-year UV protective paint extend the pole's service life and maintain appearance.
The pole is designed to bend under load and return to its original form, reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failure in extreme weather. Fire resistance is inherent to the material, as the pole does not sustain a flame.
The 11.85 inch diameter and 0.532 inch wall thickness provide structural strength for mounting luminaires, cameras, or other equipment within the EPA and weight limits.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial, requiring a 7 foot depth below grade. No base plate or anchor bolts are needed. The lightweight nature of fiberglass compared to steel or concrete poles can simplify handling and installation, especially in remote or difficult-to-access sites.
Once installed, the pole requires minimal maintenance. The non-corrosive and UV-resistant finish reduces the need for repainting or surface treatment. The non-conductive property eliminates the need for grounding in most lighting applications.
The pole's ability to flex and return to shape under wind load reduces the risk of permanent deformation or breakage. Fire resistance and corrosion resistance support long-term reliability in harsh environments.
Color selection can be specified prior to installation to match site requirements. The pole is suitable for mounting a range of outdoor lighting fixtures and accessories, provided EPA and weight limits are observed.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this fiberglass pole is typically used to support area lighting, floodlights, or sports lighting fixtures in outdoor environments. The non-conductive and corrosion resistant properties are relied upon in locations with electrical safety concerns or exposure to salt, chemicals, or moisture.
Operators can expect the pole to maintain its structural integrity and appearance over time, with minimal maintenance required. The UV protective coating helps prevent fading or degradation from sun exposure.
In high wind areas, the pole's flexibility allows it to bend and recover during storms, reducing the risk of failure. The fire resistance feature is relevant in wildfire-prone regions or where fire safety is a concern.
Color options allow the pole to blend with site aesthetics or meet regulatory requirements. The direct burial design keeps the base clear of above-grade obstructions, supporting site access and maintenance activities.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI Class 2 standards. The fiberglass construction is non-conductive and fire resistant.
The product carries a 7 year warranty from LED Lighting Supply. The fluoropolymer coating and UV protective paint support long-term durability and appearance.
EPA ratings are provided for wind speeds from 70 mph to 160 mph. The pole is suitable for use in high wind zones when installed and loaded within these limits.
