ALUMINUM LIGHT POLES FAQ'S

What are the advantages of aluminum light poles?
Aluminum light poles are about 40% the weight of steel making them easier to unload and install. They have a long lifespan and are easily recycled. Aluminum is corrosion-resistant and self-protecting. It reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere and forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide is an electrical insulator but has a fairly high thermal conductivity. Aluminum light poles are often powder coated for cosmetic purposes.
What is the difference between anchor base and direct burial lightpoles?
Anchor base poles are used where the greatest rigidity is required. They are attached to a concrete foundation by a base plate and held in place with anchor bolts. The concrete foundation can be poured or precast with adjustable tee bolts. When a concrete footing is poured, anchor bolts are placed in the concrete and held in the correct position with a plywood template. Direct burial or embedded poles are buried directly into the ground. The height of a direct burial pole is specified as the height above grade and can vary from 3 feet to 10 feet. High wind speed areas require a direct burial pole with a deeper burial depth.
What is the warranty on aluminum light poles?
What good are savings when you receive low-quality products from those who do not know much about light poles and lighting? We have the best warranty in the business, period. We offer a 10 year no excuse warranty on aluminum pole products simply because we deliver products of the highest quality. In addition, we do not play games with you when it comes to a defective item. Our products are subjected to stringent quality control measures, but if an item is defective, our first priority is to send you a replacement right away.
