Exterior poles must be strong enough to withstand high winds, heavy rains, and seasonal weather changes without losing their flexibility or ability to support lighting fixtures. In areas where factories, chemical plants, and oil refineries produce airborne industrial by-products, exterior light poles require extra layers of exterior and interior treatments of protective powder coating. This makes them impervious to airborne chemicals. Even if your clients are located a few miles away from a factory or oil refinery, they still need this additional precaution to avoid having to replace exterior light poles in only a few short years.

Another thing to ensure the longevity of exterior lighting poles is to galvanize the metal for poles to be used in coastal areas. If you are installing a lighting system on or near a beach area, lighting specialists recommend that you invest in the galvanization process that enables exterior light poles to endure the highly saline atmosphere and direct exposure to salt spray itself.

Exterior lighting poles should allow you freedom of choice in selecting fixtures to install for your clients. Not only should they be able to support whatever type of fixture you determine best for your client, they should also allow you to install as many lights as necessary to each exterior lighting pole. With the ability to select one or two specific exterior light pole models, then customize the mounts with tools such as adjustable knuckle filters, cross-bar brackets, and horizontal channel brackets, you can service any client regardless of location or vertical market.

Exterior lighting poles are engineered in a wide range of styles. Some models are made for purely functional, practical purposes. Other light poles are designed primarily for decorative appeal. Still others combine form and function to create a working aesthetic look and perform reliably with a minimum of maintenance.

This diversity in turn allows you to first select the fixtures that will directly speak to the needs of lighting level regulations and laws that require dark sky compliance in cities and neighborhoods throughout the country. Once you have isolated the fixture you need, your specialist will help you find whichever exterior light pole models will best serve as supporting mounts for the luminaires. In this manner, you can match fixture to project, pole to fixture, and fixture pole assembly to overall lighting design without having to cut corners on either style or function to meet regulatory codes. Lighting specialists can help you select exterior light poles with a variety of resources such as wind load charts, foot candle plots, and up to date information of local and state regulations from Coast to Coast.

Available are both metal-steel and concrete exterior lighting poles made by a number of world-class manufacturers.

Carbonized steel lighting poles offer you the competitive advantage of extra layers of powder coat protection that are bonded to the metal with a special superheating and cleaning process to ensure coating adherence to the metal. For contractors working in polluted areas or salt air environments, the poles can be galvanized upon request and add an additional 5 years to the standard 5 year warranty that covers all exterior light poles.

Many city and state governments are now replacing steel poles with concrete poles. If your client is looking to either retrofit or install concrete exterior light poles, there are many advantages and benefits that concrete lighting poles offer industrial, municipal, and corporate clients. Concrete poles are often less expensive than metal poles, are difficult to vandalize, and they do not decay or corrode. Concrete exterior light poles can also represent one of the most decorative elements on your proposal, as they come in a variety of geometric shapes and tapers for aesthetic addition to any property.

Exterior light poles provide equipment options for small design firms who look to comfortably expand their sphere of operations and increase the number of their service offerings. With almost any exterior lighting pole and complimentary commercial pole mounted lighting fixture, you can propose an exterior lighting system to any company, school, park, city, town, government office, beachfront community, exclusive neighborhood, five star hotel, shopping mall, amusement park, factory, or warehouse distribution client, anywhere in America.
