Outdoor Light Pole Information

• Light poles bring safety through visibility to
  your outdoor spaces. Parking lots, walkways,
  patios, parks and streets are only a few examples
  of the type of areas that could benefit from
  outdoor lighting poles. These should be
  constructed of a durable material and, if
  possible, a protective finish that will withstand
  the elements over a long period of time. An
  equally important consideration is the type of
  fixtures which can be easily mounted upon the
  pole. Whether it is intended for domestic or
  commercial use, most buyers seek outdoor lighting
  poles that are designed with maximum flexibility
  in mind.

• Residential, Landscape Lighting Design offers a
  comprehensive selection of commercial light poles
  that meet a full range of demands and individual
  needs. Our Techlight lighting poles are
  constructed of weldable carbon steel that is
  suited to most any application or environment.
  The pole shafts have full length longitudinal
  resistance welds and are uniformly cylindrical on
  cross-section, giving them tremendous strength
  against virtually any force they might encounter.
  This durability is reinforced by carbon steel
  anchor bases which telescope the pole shaft, and
  fastened by commercial-quality anchor boltseach
  of which is tested to a minimum yield strength of
  55,000 Ksl. Our outdoor lighting poles come in
  round straight pole or square straight pole
  shapes, and can be round tapered poles or square 
  tapered poles at the top. Choose between bronze,
  black, or white finish, or specify galvanized and
  custom finishes for added protection. Depending
  on the application and the type of pole you
  desire, Techlight outdoor lighting poles come in
  sizes ranging from 10 to 50 feet! Choosing a
  lighting pole coated in a galvanized paint will
  ensure a long life, and will never rust.

• When you order a lighting pole, be sure to ask
  about the various types of footings available.
  Ranging anywhere between 18 and 24 in diameter,
  our reinforced steel footings are designed for
  various wind zones. Our helpful customer service
  representatives can help you identify the proper
  footing fixture for your region and application.
  However, we strongly recommend that you consult
  with a licensed electrician or an engineer to
  determine the proper footing for your area. Soil
  conditions, environmental conditions, and size of
  poles should be considered.

• Once you have decided upon the size, shape,
  finish and footings of your outdoor lighting
  poles, the next step is to place a lighting
  fixture upon it! Here again, there are a number
  of options to choose from. Before selecting a
  tenon, which will determine how many lights may
  by placed upon the pole, one must consider the
  type of coverage desired. For example, a light
  pole along a street or sidewalk may not require
  the same 360 degree luminosity one might desire
  from a parking lot light pole. Residential,
  Landscape Lighting Design offers every option
  imaginable. We have simple square tenons which
  allow for a vertical mounting of a single
  fixture, horizontal channel brackets that allow
  for 2, 3 or 4 fixtures to be placed at various
  angles, as well as cross-bar brackets that allow
  for multiple vertical mounts. These tenons should
  be combined with our adjustable knuckle filter,
  which will allow you to point the light in the
  direction you desire.

• Finally, we recommend our line of outdoor
  commercial lighting fixtures, which can be easily
  mounted upon the tenons and brackets described
  above. Choose from 250, 400 or 1000-watt
  fixtures. These metal halide fixtures are
  extremely efficient and long-lasting, and are
  placed within die cast aluminum housing for extra
  durability. High pressure sodium and mercury
  vapor fixtures are also available. Standard
  colors include bronze, black and white. Each
  lighting pole fixture comes in a variety of
  voltage options, including 120V, 208V, 240V,
  277V, and 480V.
