Considerations When Selecting Parking Lot Light Poles

Considerations When Selecting Parking Lot Light Poles

The right parking lot light pole enhances visibility, supports public safety, and contributes to the overall experience of your customers. Whether you’re managing a commercial facility, business, or public space, choosing the right pole starts with knowing what to look for.

What Size Light Pole is Best?

Parking lot light poles typically range from 20 to 30 feet in height.  Taller light poles can cover wider areas and may reduce the number of fixtures required.  Shorter poles provide more targeted lighting and are sometimes preferred for smaller lots or walkways.

Pole height directly impacts light distribution, spacing, and compliance with lighting ordinances.  Light poles that are too tall may create unwanted shadows, while shorter light poles may lead to dark spots and reduce visibility.  For the best results, it’s important to evaluate your site layout, pedestrian areas, and traffic flow before finalizing your selection.

What is the Best Material for a Light Pole?

The material used in your parking lot light poles will affect durability, safety, and maintenance costs in the long run. At Hyperia, we build our poles using composite fiberglass, which surpasses traditional steel and aluminum in performance.  Our light poles are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and non-conductive. Altogether, this makes our light poles the perfect low maintenance option.
