Product Overview
The Douglas Light System is designed to extend usable play time on outdoor sport courts and recreational areas by providing bright, industrial-grade LED lighting. The two-piece pole is constructed from square steel tubing with a 3/16 in. wall thickness, using a 3.5 in. square steel base pole and a 3 in. square steel top pole, reaching approximately 17 ft. in installed light height. The light extension arm is built from 3.5 in. square steel with smooth welded fixture brackets, and all steel components receive a black, baked-on polyester powder coat finish for chip resistance and weather protection.
The system includes two 100-watt LED floodlights that deliver 13,500 lumens per fixture at a 5,000K color temperature, providing clear visibility for activities such as basketball, tennis, and pickleball. The fixtures use a high-strength aluminum housing for durability and better heat dissipation, extending LED life and overall system reliability, and are waterproof for protection against rain, snow, and other elements.
The pole can be installed via direct burial or with optional 42 in. steel ground sleeves for semi-permanent installation; ground sleeves are sold separately. The complete system weighs 240 lbs and is backed by a 5-Year Limited Warranty, reflecting its industrial-grade build quality.
