The advantages of fiberglass lamp post application

Mar 22, 2022

In the early years, wooden poles were used as the main materials of lamp posts, but because the wood was difficult to have consistent size and uniform performance, and was used outdoors in the wind, rain and sun, coupled with the invasion of insects and ants, the durability of wooden poles was also quite limited. The use of reinforced cement to make lamp poles (commonly known as concrete poles) improved the service life of lamp poles, which was great progress in the history of lamp posts. However, due to its congenital appearance, it was brilliant for 30 years.


Due to the progress of science and technology and the rapid development of the material industry, composite materials have developed very rapidly in Europe and the United States. FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastics) has been used as the material of lamp pole production in recent 20 or 30 years. Because FRP has the same tensile strength as steel, but its density is only one-quarter of that of steel, and has the characteristics of weather resistance and no rust, it has more suitable conditions to manufacture street lamp poles. FRP lamp poles have been widely used in roads, special areas such as seaside, industrial areas and areas with harsh environments in Europe and the United States, and therefore have established quite perfect product specifications.


Advantages of FRP posts:

Excellent mechanical properties

Light weight&high strength

Non conductivity

Corrosion resistance and aging resistance

Low maintenance cost

Shock damping prolongs lamp life

High color fastness and beautiful appearance

Low transportation and installation cost
