Industrial Light Poles

Easy Rack offers commercial contractors a comprehensive selection of industrial light poles and lighting pole tenons and adaptors. Easy Rack light poles are engineered to withstand high velocity winds, are made from the best carbon steel, and are thoroughly coated with a thermo set, polyester powder coating that enables them to stand up to both extremely cold climates in the North and the hot, humid climates of Southern States such as Florida and Texas.

Easy Rack’s Protective Coating and Warranty Options Give You Strong Competitive Advantage in Tough Bidding Situations.
Easy Rack commercial lighting poles feature two layers of coating, each applied with a highly specialized, proprietary process that will give you a powerful competitive advantage over your competitors. Light poles are first cleansed of by products with high-pressured air compressors, then the powder coating finish is applied at a temperature of 3500 degrees to ensure bonding to the metal. The interior of the pole is then coated with corrosion resistant materials that protect the interior from salt air and industrial airborne by products. These light poles are ensured with a five-year warranty. If your clients want the absolute maximum protection and maintenance free investment, you can also propose additional galvanized protection and a ten year warranty to ensure you win the bid against cheaper, inferior grade proposals you may find yourself in a bidding war against.

Easy Rack lighting poles are built to enhance the visual element of a site just as much as they are designed to withstand high winds and extreme temperatures.
If your clients who want their light poles to blend with either natural surroundings or industrial facilities, you can offer them parking lot lighting poles coated in traditional bronze and green finishes. For more elaborate projects in parks, municipal buildings, airports, country clubs, resort hotels, outdoor shopping malls, and five star restaurants, you can win the bid on a lighting poles system with Easy Rack’s custom colored light pole finishes. Ask your Easy Rack expert who is already familiar with architectural and/or landscaping design who can help you develop a complimentary color scheme to enhance architectural keynotes and natural features.

Light Pole Construction Features and Design Options Give You More Proposal Power
Easy Rack wants to empower each and every contractor we supply with multiple lighting pole design options. Certain features are common to all of our pole designs in order to ensure compliance to ASTMA-500 grade C codes. Easy Rack lighting pole shafts feature a solid one-piece construction from weldable carbon steel that provides a uniformity of wall thickness regardless of pole height or taper. The industrial lighting pole itself mounts on a hot-rolled carbon steel anchor base engineered to meet minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. This type of base offers a strong competitive advantage over many other base designs, because it actually telescopes the pole shaft and holds it in place with a circumferential welded top and bottom. Easy Rack includes a hot rolled carbon steel bar, anchor bolts, hex nuts, and two flat washers with every light pole in order to make installation easy, safe, and quick for the busy contractor.

Our growing inventory also offers commercial outdoor lighting designers a wide array of light poles in Straight Round, Tapered Round, Straight Square, and Tapered Square designs, as well as a wide range of tenons and adapters that you can use to match equipment to the practical demands of a project and the aesthetic preferences of each individual client.

If you are proposing a sports lighting system for a school, civic center, church, or professional league, propose Easy Rack sports lighting poles and lighting fixtures to your client. Each Easy Rack sports light pole features a pivotal base that is drilled for multiple sport court uses. The base of the pole comes with 2 locks that will prevent unauthorized removal of the pivot bolts. An optional top pole section can be added as well if the client needs to make the light pole higher and eliminate the cost of additional, costly accessories. Ask an Easy Rack specialist about available warranties and special sports lighting metal halide and quartz flood fixture that are an ideal fit for these sports lighting poles.

Architectural Area Lighting

Contractors will often find themselves working for offices, churches, non-profit organizations, municipal entities, academic institutions, hotels, restaurants, resorts, and country clubs that need a truly customized architectural area lighting system with either very specific elements or highly cost conscious equipment.

In order to satisfy these clients, is necessary for architectural area lighting specialists to work with a vendor who will give them the widest range of line and low voltage equipment options that will in turn help them ensure that their proposal is fully compliant with dark sky and lighting level regulations, meets all practical safety needs, security concerns, decorative concerns, and delivers to the customer a return on investment generated by reduced power requirements and minimal ongoing maintenance.

Easy Rack experts are always willing to answer your questions in order to help you develop your proposal both from an equipment standpoint and a conceptual design perspective. From car dealership lighting to architectural hotel lighting, we are here to help.

Easy Rack recommends that you carefully weigh and balance the four cornerstone elements of exterior architectural area lighting in a fashion that completely speaks to all regulatory codes, client operations budget, and aesthetic factors crucial to creating a truly superior site lighting system.

Parking Lot Lighting
Parking lot site lights have to meet local foot-candle minimums, minimize glare for passing motorists, and avoid shining their lights into adjacent facilities and homes. Working with a specialist familiar with the various footcandle plots made by each fixture type can go a long way in reducing the time it takes for you to prepare your site lighting proposal. Easy Rack’s team of architectural area lighting experts can recommend various mounts and fixture reflectors that will pinpoint the direction of the light and ensure that your clients remain in compliance with local dark sky regulations.

Garage Site Lighting
Vertical footcandle intensity is often the most neglected element in commercial parking garage site lighting design. Vertical footcandle intensity is crucial to safety, as many obstructions rise high into the air and need more than horizontal lighting for the motorist to see.

Easy Rack will help you configure your parking garage or canopy lights in such a way as to balance vertical foot-candle intensity with horizontal footcandle intensity so as to clearly light all possible obstructions within the facility, and to create a well-lit interior without blinding glare. Easy Rack specialists will help you choose from a wide range of MH, HPS, and even canopy lighting fixtures that can create this delicate balance for a critical area in your architectural lighting proposal.

Building Architecture and Area Lighting
Outdoor building lights must accent the building without overpowering it. Different sites can benefit from different fixture types that range from wall mounted architectural lights, roof lights, canopy lights, and wallpacks in a wide range of size, voltage, wattage, and color options. Fixture positioning here is the key to minimizing light pollution, and Easy Rack commercial lighting specialists can help you calculate the optimal angles of incidence for optimum results.

Security Site Lighting
We will help you complete your architectural area lighting proposal with security lights ranging from floodlights, low pressure sodium vapor lights, motion detectors, HID or high intensity discharge lighting fixtures, security flood light fixtures, outdoor wall mount light fixtures, post mount light poles & fixtures, wall pack security light fixtures and outdoor canopy light fixtures. Ask your Easy Rack representative about the many lighting control options we provide that can help you customize each of these security lights to your clients’ specific needs.

Easy Rack offers a wide variety of architectural park lighting, commercial shelving, material-handling equipment, commercial warehouse lighting, used pallet racks, commercial Christmas lighting and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Decorative Park Lighting

There are three important things to consider when lighting a park. Safety of course is the first consideration, because no one wants to go to a park at night if someone who is up to no good is lurking about in dark places. Effective commercial park lighting keeps pedestrian areas from threatening shadows and provides an ambient, decorative visibility around rest areas that helps set the mood for a quiet evening away from the traffic and noise of nightlife.

Because it plays such a pivotal role in setting the emotional tone for such an evening, park lighting have to be very decorative in order to provide an aesthetic compliment to the natural surroundings. Easy Rack inventories an enormous diversity of fixtures and lamp types when it comes to making your park, boardwalk, or hotel garden more attractive and relaxed. People often romanticize the past as a better, less stressful time, and so any type of fixture with an antique, early American style, or classic European look, will often help contribute to the feeling of time standing still. Also, most park lights feature more symmetrical geometric designs and more intricate decorations, so they offer a much better fit to a natural, outdoor setting than typical flood lights, parking lot lights, security lights and other industrial lights generally do.

Large companies with high-end landscape lighting systems often decorate sidewalks and outdoor seating areas with park lights. Even though these areas may not be technically considered “parks” in the same way as New York’s Central Park or LA’s Griffith Park, they nevertheless call for the same blend of safety lighting and decorative theme as larger, official park areas require.

It is important to keep in mind, too, that park lights have to be diversified in both height and fixture model to create a true sense of design throughout the grounds. Lights on decorative poles provide general lighting for open areas and walkways. Smaller lights that lie lower to the ground provide decorative accent lighting to emphasize landscaped features, hedges, flower gardens, and trees. Easy Rack lighting bollards are an excellent source of this type of accent lighting. Approximately the size of an industrial bollard, a park lighting bollard gives off just enough light to illuminate any number of natural landforms and vegetation types, and it provides an excellent source of path lighting as well. Park lighting bollards can be used to line sidewalks, rotundas, fountain areas, and the bases of stairways so people can clearly see where they are walking but never consciously notice the source of the light because it radiates at a subdued level of intensity.

Pole mounted fixtures can be obtained from your Easy Rack specialist in any number of ornate styles that are fitted with special reflectors and glare shields to direct lighting into the park but keep it out of the surrounding neighborhood. Dark sky laws have now been passed in most cities that strictly control light pollution, so it is important to purchase your park lighting fixtures from a company like Easy Rack who knows these laws and who fulfill your sense of style and decoration without violating any municipal regulatory codes in the process.

Before making a final selection today, speak at length with an Easy Rack lighting specialist who can help you carefully balance the three demands of security, decor, and dark sky regulatory compliance. Working with an expert will save you from a costly mistake, and it will also offer you the added benefit of a referral to a qualified lighting designer who has experience in everything from lighting parks to lighting parking garages can help you specify your equipment.
