What Are LED Lighting Supply's Poles Made Of?

LED Lighting Supply's full line of light and utility poles are made of wood, steel, and fiberglass in various pole shaft shapes.

Wood poles provide a durable solution for high-voltage electricity cables and lower-voltage power lines but are susceptible to rot and decay. They are a preferred solution over steel and aluminum light poles due to their price.

Steel poles are crafted from corrosion-resistant steel. They are commonly used for parking lot lighting projects or sports-court pole installation. Steel poles typically require additional hardware and foundation materials, depending on pole assembly. Our steel light poles require maintenance when equipped with a galvanized powder coat finish and provide superior strength in high-wind zones. Let's break down our steel pole offering:

• Tapered Steel Poles
• Round Steel Poles
• Square Steel Poles

Fiberglass poles also known as FRP utility poles, are a preferred alternative to wood, steel, and aluminum light poles, due to their ability to resist rot, rust, corrosion, and fire. We offer standard and custom colors for our fiberglass pole options. Our fiberglass poles offer a lighter alternative to steel poles, aluminum poles, and wood poles. This eases installation and manipulation efforts.

• Round Tapered Fiberglass Poles
• Round Fiberglass Poles
• Square Fiberglass Poles

What Are LED Lighting Supply's Pole Mounting Types?

We present two types of 70-foot light poles – anchor-based and direct burial. Our commercial-grade and industrial-grade poles include crossarm and tenon pole top options suitable for outdoor lighting projects.

Anchor-based light poles employ a concrete base cover secured with bolt circles and anchor bolts for enhanced stability and security.

With our direct burial light pole installation, there is no need for additional foundation material, anchor bolts, or base covers to support pole assembly. This method is primarily used for wooden poles.

What Are the Shapes and Colors of Our 70+ Foot  Poles?

Our 70+ foot light poles come in square and round tapered pole shaft shapes. You have the option to choose from square steel light poles and round steel light poles for smaller pole heights. We offer these poles in a dark bronze powder coat finish and custom colors. Here's a breakdown of our light pole shaft options.

• Square Steel Poles
• Round Steel Poles
• Tapered Steel Poles
• Fiberglass Round Poles
• Fiberglass Square Poles
• Fiberglass Tapered Poles
• Wood Round Poles

What is the Lead Time for These Poles?

You can expect an average lead time of between 4 to 12 weeks, depending on your project’s specifications. We also have quick-ship light pole alternatives to suit more urgent project requirements. Truck delivery will impact the anticipated delivery timeframe.

What Are the Effective Projected Area (EPA) Considerations of LED Lighting Supply's Poles?

Wind loads and EPA ratings vary by region. Our Lighting Experts consider the wind load requirements across the United States, and we perform an EPA calculation to establish the appropriate size, strength, and number of lights you can install on your 70+ foot pole, ensuring it perfectly suits your location. For a quick determination, you can also use LED Lighting Supply's free pole wind load calculator.

Where Are You Located?

Wind loads across the United States vary from region to region. A pole installed in Memphis will have a lower wind load than one installed in Miami. Understanding the load will determine the size of the pole, its strength, and how many lights you can install on that pole. This is known as an EPA calculation, and we can provide you with that calculation before you purchase. In many cases, a custom light pole is the best solution for your region.

I Have an Outdoor Lighting Project. Do You Offer LED Light Fixtures That I Can Mount on These Poles?

Absolutely, LED Lighting Supply is first and foremost a lighting company. We have been selling LED Light Fixtures since 2008 and can provide lighting plans, a data sheet and a spec sheet.
