Choose the right aluminum light pole for your project
Types
Yaolong is a specialized manufacturer of high-performance aluminum light poles, offering three primary models: Round Tapered Aluminum (RTA), Round Straight Aluminum (RSA), and Square Straight Aluminum (SSA). Each pole is engineered for exceptional durability, aesthetics, and longevity.
Strength
The foundation of a pole’s strength is the aluminum alloy itself. Most aluminum light poles are made from 6061 or 6063 aluminum alloy . These are often used in a T6 temper, which is achieved through a specific heat treatment process (solution heat treatment and artificial aging) that significantly increases the material’s yield and tensile strength.
Lifespan
The lifespan of an aluminum alloy light pole is one of its most significant advantages. Generally, the designed service life of a high-quality aluminum light pole is 30 to 50 years or even longer.
The installation of aluminum Lamp posts generally follows two primary methods: anchor-based installation and direct burial. The choice between them depends on the pole’s size, site conditions, and local regulations.
Surface Treatment Methods
The surface treatment methods for aluminum Lamp poles can be divided into three main categories: Anodizing (electrochemical conversion), Powder Coating (physical covering), and Chemical Pre-Treatment. Among these, anodizing is the most core and highly recommended treatment for high-end and outdoor aluminum light poles.
