Lighting poles not only determine where lighting is installed, but also how reliably, safely, and easily an outdoor area can be maintained. JEL Products supplies lighting poles for industrial sites, ports, terminals, sports facilities, parking lots, and harsh outdoor environments.
We supply poles as a standalone solution, but also as part of a complete lighting system with fixtures, lighting calculations, foundation advice, assembly, and project-based implementation.
Low masts are used in locations where clear site lighting is needed with limited mounting height. Examples include parking lots, access roads, loading docks, walkways, small storage areas, and lighting around buildings.
Masts from 12 to 20 meters are used for larger outdoor areas where more range, better coverage, and fewer obstacles are desired.
For large operational areas, high mast systems are often the most efficient solution. By placing luminaires higher, a larger area can be illuminated with fewer mast positions.
A light pole is not a standard component that can be chosen independently of its environment. The pole height, luminaire load, wind load, soil conditions, foundation, and maintenance strategy collectively determine which pole is technically suitable.
Therefore, for every project, we look at the complete situation: which zones need to be illuminated, what light levels and uniformity are required, how many fixtures will be on the mast, what the weight and wind-catching surface area of the fixtures are, in which wind region the mast is located, and how the mast will be founded.
This approach prevents the mast, foundation, and lighting from being designed separately. This is essential for a reliable end result, especially at terminals, port areas, sports venues, and outdoor industrial sites.
Low light poles are used in locations where clear site lighting is needed with limited mounting height. These poles are suitable for projects where the distance between the pole and the work area remains limited and where an extremely wide light range is not required.
These poles generally fall within the EN 40 system and are suitable for standard area lighting with limited luminaire load. The final choice remains dependent on soil conditions, luminaire weight, wind load, and mounting method.
Masts from 12 to 20 meters are widely used for larger outdoor areas where more range, better dispersion, and fewer obstructions are desired. This category is often applied to logistics sites, industrial outdoor zones, sports fields, and terminal environments with limited mast height.
Within these heights, the mast choice is determined by the combination of mast height, boom or traverse, number of luminaires, luminaire weight, wind load, and desired light distribution.
For large operational areas, high mast systems are often the most efficient solution. By placing luminaires higher up, a larger area can be illuminated with fewer mast positions. This is especially valuable in areas where free space, routing, and operational flexibility are important.
High mast lighting is widely used in ports, terminals, offshore yards, heavy-lift sites, bulk storage locations, and large industrial outdoor environments.
For tall masts, the construction is assessed on a project basis. The mast height, wind load, fixture load, foundation, and site conditions collectively determine which mast construction is appropriate.
The load on a light pole is not determined solely by its height. The number of fixtures, weight, projected area, mounting position, and local wind load are also determining factors.
This makes a significant difference, especially in high mast projects. A 30-meter mast with a few compact luminaires requires a different assessment than a 30-meter mast with multiple heavy floodlights on a large ring.
That is why we consider the mast and lighting as a single system. The lighting design choices directly influence the structural design principles. Conversely, the available structural space can determine how many luminaires can be safely installed.
A mast structure can only be properly assessed when the subsoil conditions are known. For new mast locations—and especially for tall masts—a CPT test or soil investigation is therefore often necessary.
Based on this data, it can be determined which foundation type is suitable. Consider a concrete pier, pile foundation, prefabricated foundation, anchor basket, or a project-specific foundation structure.
Without reliable soil data, the foundation remains based on assumptions. With higher masts and larger fixture loads, that is not a responsible basis. Therefore, for project-based mast solutions, we focus on a clear technical substantiation before the mast and foundation are finalized.
Because JEL Products provides both lighting and pole solutions, we can evaluate the pole and luminaires as a single system. This is important for projects where light quality, structural safety, and maintenance over the entire lifespan all come together.
We can provide support with mast selection, lighting design, luminaire choice, mast and luminaire configuration, coordination with the structural engineer or mast supplier, foundation advice, delivery of masts and luminaires, on-site installation, and handover with documentation.
This results in a solution in which the lighting design, structure, and execution are all harmoniously integrated.
Our light poles and high-mast systems are used in environments where reliability, visibility, and structural integrity are important.
For container terminals, ferry terminals, bulk terminals, and terminal yards where large areas need reliable lighting with minimal disruption to logistical movements.
For industrial storage areas, loading and unloading zones, distribution centers, access roads, and business premises where safety and continuity are paramount.
For sports fields, construction sites, temporary work sites, infrastructure projects, and locations where mast position, light distribution, and implementation need to be coordinated on a project basis.
JEL Products can supply masts separately, but can also combine them with lighting fixtures, lighting design, foundation recommendations, and installation.
We determine mast height, luminaires, trusses, crowns, outriggers, light distribution, and mounting method.
Wind load, reinforcement load, foundation, CPT data, and technical documentation are aligned.

Delivery of masts and lighting, on-site placement, commissioning, and handover.
After successfully completing a project, it is important that the installation is well cared for. With periodic maintenance and inspections, you ensure a light pole that lasts as long as possible.
For a good assessment, we prefer to receive as much technical information as possible. If not all information is available yet, we can help you think about what information is needed to arrive at a technically substantiated proposal.
For project-based masts, it is important that the request is not solely about the height. The location, luminaire configuration, foundation, and desired design ultimately determine which mast solution is suitable.
Short answers to frequently asked questions about mast selection, high mast projects, and foundations.
EN 40 is used in practice for lighting columns up to a nominal height of 20 meters. For higher columns or special configurations, the column is assessed on a project basis, considering factors such as wind load, luminaire load, mounting structure, and foundation.
For new mast locations, tall masts, or larger luminaire loads, a CPT sounding is often necessary to determine the soil structure and load-bearing capacity. Without soil data, the foundation remains based on assumptions.
Yes. JEL Products can supply light poles on their own, but also as part of a complete system that includes luminaires, lighting design, foundation consulting, installation, and commissioning.
High mast lighting is interesting when large areas need to be illuminated with fewer mast positions. This limits obstacles on the site and makes the layout clearer, provided the lighting and structural design principles are well-aligned.
Are you looking for light poles for an industrial park, terminal, port facility, sports field, or large outdoor area? JEL Products supplies low poles, standard light poles, and high-mast systems up to 50 meters in height. We’ll help you make the right choice based on the application, location, wind load, foundation, and the lighting fixtures to be mounted on the pole.
