Industrial Light Poles

Industrial lighting poles are necessary for a number of environments around commercial facilities. Parking lots require them for safety purposes and to fulfill legal requirements for minimal lighting levels. Walkways and outdoor break facilities need lighting, and often the most practical means of doing this is to mount fixtures on short industrial lighting poles. This contributes toward minimizing costs on security lighting because shorter poles with lower wattages will often offset the number of high wattage floodlights used to secure a facility. One can use pole mounted lights for the interior of a property, and secure the perimeter with floodlights.

Industrial lighting poles are engineered and manufactured to the highest specifications in the industry. They are specially treated with a systematic process that has been devised to maximize long life and performance. Industrial lighting poles feature a one piece construction with a uniform wall thickness. Manufactured from weldable carbon steel, RLLD industrial light poles feature a 55,000 PSI, and they conform to ASTMA-500 grade C standards. A number of treatment steps are taken to ensure pole lifespan. First, the lighting poles are cleaned with a process known as «wheelabration» at a pressure of 4,000 PSI to remove all dirt, grit, and industrial by products. This creates a condition known as «white metal» that helps powder coating better adhere to the surface of the pole. Any number of finish colors can then be applied. The interior of the pole must now be protected in a similar manner to prevent pollution and salt spray from corroding the pole’s interior. In order to counter these corrosive agents, RLLD Commercial lighting coats the interior of its industrial poles with a rust inhibitive brown steel primer that is fully compliant with ATSMB-117 regulations. In extremely polluted areas of the country, or in facilities located near coastal waterways, we will also galvanize your industrial light poles upon request with a zinc steel allow that provides an extra barrier against corrosion and a better surface for powder coating to adhere to.

The size of the area you will be lighting will in turn determine the height and number of industrial light poles you install. The taller the poles, the larger the area your luminance will extend. This may, however, require more powerful lights. Make sure if you go this route you consult with a lighting specialist first to make certain you have made the most energy efficient selection.

Shorter poles can be either functional or decorative in nature, and can be utilized as both parking lot lights and outdoor park or landscape lights to mount any number of fixture types ranging from HPS, HM and fluorescent. New LED lighting fixtures will soon be emerging on the market to offer even more options for energy efficiency and environmentally friendly lighting. Due to the wide diversity of facilities, RLLD Commercial Lighting supplies poles ranging from 10-50 feet in height. Industrial lighting specialists will help you determine which heights will best match the requirements of your facility based on wind load requirements for your part of the country, square footage of your site lighting design, footcandle minimums of your community, and operating budget for electric costs.

Developing a truly effective industrial site lighting system often requires a great deal of planning and calculation, and this can often delay time to market. Lead time is another factor that frequently frustrates the architect, general contractor, builder, or commercial lighting designer. RLLD Commercial Lighting specialists are here to help solve both problems by making free consultation services available to all clients, and to expedite lead time through rapid drop shipping of industrial lighting poles and fixtures to all parts of the United States.
