Description
Advantages.
Light Weight and High Strength: The strength of FRP material is similar to alloy steel. The density is between 1.5-2.0, which is 1/4-1/5 of carbon steel.So for the same specification of the lighting pole, the weight of FRP lighting pole is only 1/3 of the steel poles. Based on this feature, the FRP lighting pole is especially suitable for the place which have high load bearing requirement. It’s manufactured with a custom designed fiberglass woven roving which allows us to fabricate over 75% of the reinforcing glass in the vertical plane, maximizing desired rigidity and axial strength.The coating materials on all poles are of the highest quality and standard to ensure long lasting and maintenance free beauty.
Low maintenance. The surface of the FRP lighting pole adopt the special spraying material, which can ensure the the color won’t have obvious fade in ten years. It do not need maintenance during the life span.
Corrosive Resistance. FRP is a good corrosive resistant material which has preferable resistant ability from atmosphere, water, acid, alkali and many kinds of oil and solvent. Therefore, FRP lighting pole are seasoned with the places which have much rain and coastal cities. There is almost no changes of the pole both inside and outside during the whole life-span. This is an incomparable advantage over other poles.Aslo the fiberglass pole is ageing and weathering resistant.
Non Conductive. FRP is a good insulated material which can applied in insulators.
Therefore, FRP lighting pole won’t cause electric shock accidents because of creepage. Though the medal lighting poles have ground protection installation,
it cannot avoid accidents. FRP lighting have certain advantage in the application which have high safety requirement, such as sidewalk, park, etc,.
Beautiful Appearance and Low Installation Cost. Due to the light weight, it does not need the crane for installation, very convenient and fast. It also save the cost. offers a range of standard colors but we can also match any specified color to tie in with the particular architectural color theme of a building or landscape area.
Strong Wind Resistance. FRP material have slight flexibility. After the wind, the pole can rebound to the original place. The wind resistance principle is similar to bamboo.
Aslo fiberglass has a significantly greater strength to weight ratio than competitive materials and therefore its lighter weight lowers shipping and on-site handling costs.
Comparison of Composite Light & Normal Light
Item | Composite Lighting | Steel Lighting |
Weight | Specific weight 1.86, about 26-32%
that of steel. A 3-4meters pole only 2.8-5.3kg, very easy to move |
Specific weight 7.80,a1bout 3-4times
heavy as composite pole. A 3-4meters pole only 10-20kg very hard to move |
Rusting | Never rusting | Even after good power coated, rust may be happed. |
Installation | Very easy, for it’s light, only one or
two persons by hand, no need for machines. |
Very heavy, so, generally need help
of lifter of heavy machines, which add much cost |
Maintenaince | Completely maintenance free | Need re-coating or refurbish after some time. |
Surface finish | Smooth and surface layer can be
integrated with the insdie material, so the surface layer will NOT fall off with time |
The surface coating often fall off after some time,
for the index of expansion afainst temperature is much deferent for metal and surfsce coating, so after time coating is easy to peel off. |
Insulation | NON conductive, very good insulation. | Conductive, have risk for electricity leakage. |
Service life | Longer than metal, 35-45years | Shorter life for rusting or corossion |
Cost | For economic type save 22-40%
For advanced type save 10-20% |
More expensive than composite pole |
Wind resistance | Meet all wind resistant standard. we design different
pole structure for different lengtsh and applications. |
Good, but designable is NOT good. |
Accessories | We make both pole and accessories
such as base joint, base decoration cover, crossarm, light base, etc. |
Need particular design and tooling |
Corossion resistance |
Very good agaist, water, acid rain, sea water,salty air,
chemicals. So can be used I all locations. |
Easy to be attacked by water, acid rain and sea water.
So limited in some locations |
Heat absorption |
Good heat insulation, very low heat
absorption, so the pole temperauture not goes much higher than air temperature |
Easy to absorpt heat from sun light,
so raise the pole temperature very high, which let the coating layer degradation and peels off. |
handle | Easy to caryy and transportation, we
supply both ready-made pole and accessories, so you don’t need to do tube/pipe forming, welding, grinding, acid washing and cleaning, zinc plating and coating |
Need lots of labour force, machines and other
facilities and resources to do tube/pipe forming, welding, grinding, acid washing and cleaning, zinc plating and coating |

Unique Technology of FRP Lighting Pole.
As material science and technology develop fast in modern world, traditional material such as metal and wood can not satisfy people’s rigorous needs in many aspects. Composite material starts a revolution in material science and technology for been light, strong, corrosion resistant, long life span and etc.
Unlike metal or wood, FRP is composite material. The FRP products show different mechanical strength in different axial direction. Normally, the tensile strength along continues roving direction (longitudinal direction) is very high which can be compared with steel. However, in transverse direction, the mechanical strength is much weaker.
Morstar now confidently claim to world that we are starting a revolution in FRP lighting pole.
With years’ study and research,
Morstar’s engineers who are experienced in chemistry and structural mechanics work out an outstanding design of FRP lighting pole. This structure design largely strengthens the mechanical strength of the pole in all directions.
We are now very proud to claim: Morstar are the strongest compared with other poles in the same weight, and also the lightest compared with other poles in the same strength.
