Our Commercial Light Poles include steel, fiberglass, and wood poles for parking lots, roadways, recreational facilities, utility infrastructure, athletic fields, and industrial sites. Available shapes include tapered, square, and round configurations, with steel square, steel round, wood round, and fiberglass square poles represented in the catalog. Commercial-grade mounting categories include anchor-based poles installed on concrete slabs with anchor pins and direct burial systems set into the ground. Anchor-based systems are offered for 10-foot to 30-foot pole heights, while direct burial is used mainly for wooden utility poles.
Commercial pole heights range from 10 feet to more than 70 feet across the material categories. Steel poles are stocked in heights from 10 to 30 feet for parking lots, recreational facilities, and other outdoor areas. Wood poles are available in 20-foot to 70-foot heights and Classes 1 through 6 for industrial, telecommunications, power distribution, and utility replacement projects. Fiberglass poles are used in corrosive, coastal, and hurricane-prone environments. High-wind light poles with enhanced EPA ratings are also available for coastal and plains locations. Compatible pole-mounted lighting includes LED flood lights, parking lot lights, shoebox fixtures, stadium lights, and multi-head flood lights.

What Are the Different Types of Light Poles
LED Lighting Supply offers commercial light pole solutions in three primary materials: fiberglass, steel, and wood. With 15+ years of experience, we classify commercial-grade installations into two mounting categories: anchor-based light poles and direct burial systems.
| Anchor-based systems | Use concrete slab settings with pre-installed anchor pins. These pins create permanent anchoring points for commercial light pole base plates during concrete pouring. This method is best for 10-foot to 30-foot heights in public spaces. Explore anchor base light poles. |
| Direct burial installation | Requires excavating holes and setting poles directly into the ground. This approach is mainly for wooden utility poles, with burial depth based on pole height. Our Product Specialists supply all required hardware. Explore direct burial light poles. |
Understanding Light Pole Shape Options
Shape selection affects both aesthetics and wind resistance. Our selection includes tapered, square, and round configurations in all material types, making it easy to find the right commercial lighting poles for your project.
- Steel Square Light Poles: Steel Square Light Poles
- Steel Round Light Poles: Steel Round Light Poles
- Wood Round Light Poles: Wood Round Light Poles
- Fiberglass Square Light Poles: Fiberglass Square Light Poles
Tapered designs offer better wind resistance and modern aesthetics for fiberglass and steel. Wood poles maintain traditional round profiles, making them standard for utility infrastructure like telecommunication towers and power distribution systems. Our commercial pole lighting options are designed to meet a wide range of application needs.
Demystifying Different Light Pole Materials
Height requirements drive material selection more than aesthetics. Our pole inventory spans 10 feet to 70+ feet, with each material offering advantages based on environment and application. Whether you need a solution for a parking lot, roadway, or industrial light pole application, we have you covered.
What is a Fiberglass Light Pole
Fiberglass light poles excel in corrosive environments where steel would deteriorate. These composite poles resist rot, rust, corrosion, and fire, while weighing less than steel. Installation is easier due to reduced equipment needs. Fiberglass poles bend under extreme weather rather than snapping, reducing replacement frequency and costs. Coastal and hurricane-prone regions benefit from fiberglass, as salt air and high winds have minimal long-term effects on these materials. For projects requiring a lightweight yet durable LED light pole, fiberglass is an excellent choice.
What is a Steel Light Pole
Steel light poles are common in parking lots and recreational facilities due to their strength-to-height ratio. Steel resists fire, pests, and decay, and handles high wind loads. We stock steel poles from 10 feet to 30 feet for various outdoor areas. Heavy outdoor LED stadium light fixtures and multi-head flood lights mount securely to steel structures.
What is a Wood Light Pole
Wood light poles are used in industrial and utility applications where traditional materials meet regulatory requirements. Telecommunication and power utility replacements often specify wood for consistency with existing infrastructure. Proper sealing protects wiring from moisture. Our wood inventory includes 20-foot to 70-foot heights across classes 1 through 6 for appropriate load ratings. If you are looking for a classic commercial light post for utility or industrial use, wood remains a reliable option.
What are Typical Height Ranges for Commercial Light Poles
Coverage area determines optimal pole height. Standard street and parking lot installations range from 10 to 30 feet. We generally recommend 15-20 foot poles for small parking areas, 20-25 foot heights for medium lots, and 25-30 foot poles for large commercial properties. Athletic fields and large industrial areas may require specialized heights.
The Influence of Wind Load on Commercial Light Pole Selection
Geographic location and local weather impact structural requirements for safe pole installation. EPA rating calculations consider both pole surface area and fixture wind resistance to prevent structural failure when properly specified. Inadequate wind load planning creates safety hazards and liability issues. Our high-wind light poles have enhanced EPA ratings for challenging coastal and plains environments.
Top LED Fixtures for Light Pole Installation
Fixture selection depends on coverage needs and mounting height. Each type offers advantages for different commercial applications.
- Flood lights: LED flood lights provide concentrated illumination for security perimeters and loading docks.
- Parking lot lights: LED shoebox lights and commercial light poles for parking lot lighting offer broad, uniform distribution to improve visibility and reduce dark spots.
- Stadium lights: LED Stadium lights deliver maximum lumen output for athletic facilities and large industrial areas.
Our lighting design services help match fixtures to pole specifications, supporting safety and code compliance for your installation.
How Long Does it take to Get Light Poles After Ordering
Most commercial light poles require 4 to 12 weeks for delivery, as USA-based manufacturers custom-build each pole to project specifications. Timing is model-dependent. Quick-ship inventory includes shorter poles up to 30 feet in standard dark bronze finish, with expedited custom colors available. We recommend ordering early in project planning to avoid delays, especially for larger installations or specialized wind ratings.

Light Poles FAQs
How Do I Choose Between Fiberglass, Steel, And Wood Light Poles?
Choose the material based primarily on height, environment, and application requirements. Fiberglass is suited to corrosive environments, steel is common for parking lots and recreational facilities, and wood is often specified for utility and telecommunication infrastructure.
Should I Use An Anchor-Base Or Direct-Burial Light Pole?
Anchor-based poles are suited to 10-foot to 30-foot public-space installations using concrete slabs and pre-installed anchor pins. Direct-burial installation sets the pole into an excavated hole and is used mainly for wooden utility poles.
How Does Coverage Area Affect Light Pole Height?
Coverage area is the main factor in selecting pole height. Small parking areas generally use 15- to 20-foot poles, medium lots use 20- to 25-foot poles, and large commercial properties use 25- to 30-foot poles.
What Should I Consider When Selecting A Light Pole For Wind Conditions?
Consider the project location, local weather, pole surface area, and the wind resistance of the selected fixture. EPA ratings help match the pole and fixture to wind-load requirements, while high-wind poles are available for challenging coastal and plains environments.
Which Light Pole Shape Is Best For Wind Resistance?
Tapered fiberglass and steel pole designs offer better wind resistance while providing a modern appearance. Square and round configurations are also available, while wood poles typically retain traditional round profiles for utility infrastructure.
How Long Does It Take To Receive Commercial Light Poles?
Most commercial light poles require 4 to 12 weeks because manufacturers custom-build them to project specifications. Quick-ship inventory includes shorter poles up to 30 feet in standard dark bronze, while larger poles and specialized wind ratings may require earlier ordering.
