What Are 10 Foot Poles and 15 Foot Poles Made Of?

LED Lighting Supply's 10 foot light pole and 15 foot light pole offerings are made with steel or fiberglass and are available in various shapes.

• Steel square light poles
• Steel round light poles
• Fiberglass square light poles

Our steel poles are engineered with corrosion-resistant steel, while our fiberglass poles are known for their resistance to rot, rust, corrosion, and fire. Due to their strength, steel poles demand minimal maintenance and are best suited in high-wind zones. They are available in various colors and have powder coating options for enhanced surface protection, preventing the exterior from chipping or flaking. The flat surface of square steel poles is attractive for installation as it eases light fixture mounting efforts. Pair your steel poles with a base cover to further protect the pole's foundation.

Fiberglass poles are a preferred alternative to steel and aluminum poles and provide many enhanced benefits. They are engineered with structural integrity in mind. Their ability to resist rot, rust, corrosion, and fire makes them a top choice, especially in hurricane-prone locations or environments where salt air is commonplace. Their lightweight structure eases handling and installation efforts.

What Are the Different Mounting Types of These Poles?

LED Lighting Supply's 10 – 15 foot poles are available in two different types: anchor-based and direct burial. Anchor-based poles employ a concrete base, anchor bolts, and additional hardware for enhanced stability and security. Deep drilled anchor bolts provide enhanced stability and security. For a more seamless look, opt for our direct burial method, typically used for wooden pole installation. Direct burial poles are easier to install as no foundation materials are required.

What Shapes and Colors Are Available for These Poles?

Our 10 – 15 foot poles come in square and round shapes. You have the option to choose from square form poles and round form poles. LED Lighting Supply's steel light poles are available in a dark bronze finish. Our fiberglass light poles are available in black, white, bronze, and gray colors.

What Are the Best Lighting Options for 10-15 Foot Light Poles?

With multi-mounting options, our 10-15 foot poles accommodate a versatile range of lighting solutions. Having supplied LED Outdoor Lights to our commercial and industrial partners for over 15 years, you can be sure our Product Specialists will recommend the proper lighting solution to align with project requirements. Here's a quick breakdown of the typical light fixture mounting options for these smaller poles:

• Post top lights provide ample light coverage in high-foot traffic areas, such as parking lots and walkways, while elevating the aesthetic appearance of the landscape.
• Parking lot lights, traditionally referred to as shoebox lights, are best for maximizing visibility on parking lot walkways, maximizing pedestrian safety.

When Not to Use Small 10-15 Foot Light Poles

Light poles that are smaller in height are best suited for smaller outdoor locations with high foot traffic areas where low-level light coverage is required. Small poles should not be used in large outdoor projects. The shorter heights of these poles limit light coverage in larger spaces.

What is the Lead Time for LED Lighting Supply's Light Poles?

While each of our light pole solutions are custom-built for your project, we strive to deliver promptly. You can expect a lead time of 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the requirements of the project. Our quick-ship fiberglass poles are assembled and stocked in the USA. These poles are the perfect solution for projects with urgent needs.

Do I Need to Consider EPA When Selecting a Light Pole?

Our light pole recommendations consider wind loads across the United States. Our Product Specialists perform an EPA calculation to determine the proper size, strength level, and number of light fixtures you can install on your 10 foot and 15 foot pole.

Where are You Located?

Wind loads across the United States vary based on region. A pole installed in Memphis will have a lower wind load than one installed in Miami. Understanding EPA requirements will help determine the size of the pole, its strength, and how many lights the pole can support. This is known as an EPA calculation. Our Product Specialists can provide you with the EPA calculation before you purchase. In many cases, a custom light pole is the best solution for high-wind environments and coastal locations.
