Product Overview
The 30 Foot Above Grade Round Tapered Fiberglass Light Pole is designed for robust outdoor lighting applications, providing a reliable solution for parking lot and roadway lighting. With a height of 30 feet above grade and a base diameter of 8.5 inches, this pole is engineered for direct burial installation, ensuring stability and durability in various environments. The fiberglass construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for coastal and corrosive environments.
This light pole is available with either a top cap or tenon, allowing for flexibility in fixture mounting. It comes in a variety of finishes, including black, white, bronze, and gray, to match different aesthetic requirements. The pole's design and material make it a suitable replacement for traditional metal poles, particularly in areas where corrosion resistance is critical.
Core Performance and Output
This fiberglass light pole is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, with an EPA rating of 3 at wind speeds of up to 180 mph. This ensures that the pole can support fixtures securely even in high-wind areas. The pole's structural capacity is designed to accommodate a range of lighting fixtures, providing flexibility in lighting design and application.
The pole's material performance includes non-conductivity and high corrosion resistance, making it ideal for installations in coastal or corrosive environments. The direct burial installation method enhances stability, reducing the need for additional anchoring systems. However, it is important to ensure that the pole's height and fixture weight are compatible with the site's wind load requirements to maintain structural integrity.
Adjustability and Control Options
The light pole offers customization options with its choice of top cap or tenon, allowing for various fixture mounting configurations. This adaptability supports a wide range of lighting designs, from single fixture installations to more complex multi-fixture setups. The pole's finish options also provide aesthetic flexibility, enabling it to blend seamlessly into different environments.
While the pole itself does not include integrated control options, it is compatible with a variety of lighting fixtures that offer advanced control features such as dimming and motion sensing. This compatibility allows for enhanced energy efficiency and tailored lighting solutions based on specific site requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
Constructed from fiberglass, this light pole offers superior longevity and reliability, particularly in environments prone to corrosion. The material's inherent resistance to rust and decay ensures a long service life, reducing maintenance needs and associated costs. The acrylic enamel finish further protects the pole from environmental wear and tear.
The pole's 15-year warranty underscores its durability and the manufacturer's confidence in its performance. This extended warranty period provides assurance of the pole's reliability over time, making it a sound investment for long-term outdoor lighting projects.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole's build quality is characterized by its round tapered design, which enhances both aesthetic appeal and structural strength. The 8.5-inch base diameter provides a solid foundation for supporting various lighting fixtures, while the tapered design reduces material use without compromising stability.
Weighing 176 pounds, the pole is manageable for installation teams while still offering the robustness required for outdoor applications. The direct burial installation method simplifies the setup process, eliminating the need for complex mounting hardware and reducing installation time.
