Light Pole Installation & Repair

Planning Pole Lighting Repairs and Upgrades

Lights That Stay On, Stay Dark or Operate Intermittently

Tell us what the light is doing and whether one pole or several are affected. A light that stays on during daylight presents a different starting point from a group of fixtures that has lost power. Note when the problem began and whether any recent work or control changes preceded it.

We evaluate the relevant fixture, electrical supply and controls before recommending a repair. Replacing a lamp or photocell without checking the installation may leave the original problem unresolved. The assessment helps define which work belongs in the repair scope.

For properties with scheduled lighting, share the intended operating hours and any available timer or controller information. After the agreed repair, we check operation and review the settings with you.

Review Existing Poles Before Selecting New Fixtures

Reusing a pole depends on more than the appearance of the new light. We review the existing equipment, mounting arrangement and proposed fixture before recommending an approach. Share photographs and any available model information, but expect the installation to need an on-site assessment.

If visible damage or questions about the supporting work require further evaluation, we explain that before treating the project as a fixture swap. The agreed scope should identify what will remain, what will be replaced and any supporting work that needs coordination.

For an LED lighting upgrade, discuss the area you want illuminated, the current lighting concerns and control preferences. Fixture selection should suit the property and mounting arrangement, with attention to useful coverage and the direction of light.

Power Routes and Site Coordination

A new pole location may require a new electrical supply route as well as mounting or foundation work. We discuss the proposed location, existing surfaces and access before outlining the installation. Where the project involves underground wiring and trenching, locating, excavation and restoration responsibilities need to be included in the plan.

Let us know about other property improvements scheduled nearby. Coordinating electrical work with paving or landscaping can help establish the sequence before finished surfaces are installed.

Prepare for Your Site Assessment

When requesting service in Metairie or Greater New Orleans, provide the number of affected lights, their approximate height and photographs taken from ground level. Mention gates, parked vehicles, business hours or other restrictions that may affect access. These details help us assess equipment and scheduling needs.

For a new installation, describe the area to be lit and the result you want. For repairs, share the symptoms and any available maintenance history. We explain the proposed work and access arrangements before proceeding, then verify lighting operation at completion.
