What Are LED Lighting Supply's Flood Light Poles?

Our full line of flood light poles are high-performance vertical structures made of various materials. They are designed to support flood light or area light fixtures. LED Lighting Supply's commercial-grade flood light poles are engineered with structural integrity in mind. Their resiliency and durability ensure they can withstand high winds and hardening weather conditions without fail.

What Are the Different Types of Light Poles?

LED Lighting Supply's full line of light poles is available in anchor base and direct burial mounting types.

What Are the Different Flood Light Pole Mounting Types?

• Anchor-based light poles require concrete footing to secure the light pole at ground level. Anchor pins are installed when the foundation is poured to ensure the light pole is sturdy. While this light pole installation type is more time-consuming than the alternative, it does pose several benefits. Light pole stability is improved as the anchor bolts secure the structure, which is beneficial for shifting soil conditions.
• Direct burial light poles, also commonly referred to as embedded poles, do not require a concrete base or additional anchor materials. The pole is placed into a flat surface hole in the ground. This installation method is a cost-effective alternative to anchor-base light poles.

What Are the Different Flood Light Pole Material Types?

LED Lighting Supply offers two different flood light pole material types: steel light poles and fiberglass light poles.

• Fiberglass light poles are a lightweight yet highly resilient alternative to steel light poles and aluminum light poles. They are a favored solution due to their rot, rust, corrosion, and fire resistance. The hollow design of these light poles reduces the overall weight of the structure, easing handling and installation efforts. Fiberglass light poles are engineered to bend, not break. Their ability to withstand high winds makes them ideal for hurricane-prone locations and coastal environments.
• Steel light poles are generally utilized for parking lot and outdoor sport court illumination. Steel poles are the perfect alternative to aluminum light poles. They are known for their resistance to fire, infestation, and decay, ensuring a longer lifespan over wood light poles. LED Lighting Supply's full line of steel light poles are available in heights from 10 feet to 30 feet. Our light poles can be paired with light pole top caps to protect internal components and electrical wiring.

What Are the Different Flood Light Pole Shapes?

Our full line of flood light poles are available in square, round, and tapered options. Here's a quick breakdown.

What Are Round Flood Light Poles?

Round flood light poles provide an aesthetic appearance to blend with commercial and industrial project landscapes. The cylindrical design forces wind to flow around the pole, making them ideal for high-wind locations and coastal regions where environmental factors are a concern.

What Are Square Flood Light Poles?

Square flood light poles are the perfect solution for mounting floodlights where directional lighting is critical. The square, high-strength design ensures the light pole can resist heavy wind loads without compromising structural integrity.

Proper Flood Light Pole Height Ranges & Suitable Projects

Flood light pole ranges are versatile and depend on the project type, height of the pole, and pole material. Here's a handy general reference. The spacing requirements of flood light poles depend on the pole's height, beam angle, and light fixture requirements. As a general rule of thumb, flood light pole spacing should range 3-4 times the total height of the pole for uniform light coverage.

Short Flood Light Poles

Short light poles are available in lengths ranging from 10 feet to 20 feet. They are typically utilized for security camera lighting and illuminating smaller commercial parking lots. LED floodlight fixtures with wide beam angles are best suited to complement short flood light pole solutions.

Medium Flood Light Poles

LED Lighting Supply's full line of medium floodlight poles are available in lengths ranging from 20 feet to 30 feet tall. Floodlight poles of this range are typically utilized in parking lots, sports court projects, and construction job sites. These poles provide optimal visibility when complemented with LED fixtures that are mounted via adjustable brackets.

Tall Flood Light Poles

Our line of tall flood light poles is available in heights ranging from 30 feet to 35 feet. These light poles are best suited for stadiums, highways, and larger sports fields. LED fixtures with narrower beam spreads project light to a further distance, while wider beams distribute light evenly over a short distance. Typically, fixtures with a higher wattage provide optimal light coverage when mounted at taller heights.

How Long Do Flood Light Poles Last?

The longevity of flood light poles will depend on the type of material and location. Steel light poles have a shorter lifespan than fiberglass light poles. Due to their rot, rust, and corrosion resistance, fiberglass light poles provide a longer lifespan of 50+ years. When properly maintained, steel light poles can last up to 25 years.
