Light Poles & Shafts by U.S. Outdoor Lighting: Built for Performance, Designed for Impact
At U.S. Outdoor Lighting, our commitment to quality doesn’t stop at luminaires—we also manufacture and supply a comprehensive range of light poles and shafts that support long-term safety, durability, and design cohesion in public and commercial environments. Whether you need a sleek, modern street light pole or a decorative fluted shaft to complement your site lighting, our lineup offers unmatched performance and aesthetic flexibility.
Our light poles are manufactured to the same exacting standards as our outdoor luminaires, proudly made in our vertically integrated Palmdale, California facility. We are proud to offer a comprehensive range of BABA and BAA-compliant steel and aluminum poles in a variety of styles, shapes, profiles, and mounting methods to meet the unique needs of municipalities, commercial developers, and urban planners across the country.
The Backbone of Every Outdoor Lighting System
A luminaire is only as good as the pole it stands on. That’s why our poles and shafts are engineered to endure the harshest outdoor conditions—whether installed on a windy coastline, a snowy mountain road, or a bustling urban center. Every U.S. Outdoor Lighting street light pole is built to deliver long-lasting performance without compromising visual appeal.
Materials: Steel and Aluminum Built to Last
We offer light poles constructed in either steel and aluminum high-strength structural alloys, giving you options tailored to your performance, budget, and design requirements:
Steel Poles: Known for their strength and structural integrity, steel poles are ideal for higher mounting heights, harsh weather conditions, and heavier luminaire loads. They offer unmatched rigidity and impact resistance.
Aluminum Poles: Lightweight yet durable, aluminum poles resist corrosion and are easy to install, making them a preferred choice for coastal areas and applications requiring ease of transport and handling.
Both materials are available in a wide range of finishes and can be powder-coated and/or anodized to suit your design scheme.
Flexible Mounting Options
U.S. Outdoor Lighting offers a range of pole-mounting options from rigid,welded base-plates with a range of bolt circle diameters, to flexible Hinge Bases that simplify pole installations, to embedded direct-burial poles that provide increased strength and eliminate the need for concrete footings and anchor bolts.
Shapes and Profiles for Every Project
U.S. Outdoor Lighting provides a variety of shape and profile combinations to ensure each pole seamlessly integrates into its surrounding environment.
Shape Options:
Round Poles – A versatile option that complements most modern or traditional environments.
Square Poles – Clean and angular, with both sharp and rounded-corner options, for projects that require a more structured, architectural aesthetic.
Profile Options:
Straight Poles – Minimalist and contemporary, ideal for urban and commercial zones.
Tapered Poles – Add elegance with a subtle narrowing from base to top, with the added bonus of increased resistance to wind vibration, often used in decorative or historically inspired projects.
Transition Poles – Combine different profiles for a dynamic visual appearance, often integrating fluting or decorative elements.
From the functional to the decorative, our street light poles are as visually compelling as they are structurally sound.
Decorative Styles: Smooth and Fluted
Pole design can enhance the overall identity of a space, and our range reflects that. Choose from:
- Smooth Poles – A modern, minimalist aesthetic ideal for contemporary architecture.
- Fluted Poles – Provide decorative detailing that complements traditional, colonial, or historic streetscapes.
Whether your project calls for a sleek commercial appearance or a stylized municipal identity, U.S. Outdoor Lighting delivers both form and function.
