Tapered cylindrical pole for outdoor sports lighting
CONICA 20000
A selection from 4 to 12 m for outdoor sports facilities
CONICA 20000 is a range of tapered cylindrical poles designed for installations where floodlights are positioned close to the playing area. The height, pole-top equipment and reference must be defined according to the lighting study, loads and wind conditions at the site.

A pole integrated into the lighting study
Height influences light distribution and visual comfort
A pole that is too low may require significant tilt angles and increase the risk of glare or light being directed outside the useful area. Excessive height increases projection distances and may change the required power.
STADÉLUM therefore links pole selection to the photometric study: position of lighting points, height, optics, aiming, required illuminance, uniformity, visual comfort and installed power.
Recommended applications
Heights suited to local sports facilities
The cases presented below are typical configurations. They do not replace a study of the site, surrounding area, loads and photometric layout.
Typical configuration
Multi-sport outdoor courts
Setbacks, fencing, multi-sport uses and nearby homes must be included in the study to limit glare and spill light.
Typical configuration
Outdoor tennis
Height and position must be coordinated with the playing lines, fencing, viewing directions and selected optics.
Typical configuration
Pétanque and outdoor boules courts
The layout aims to provide even distribution across the playing areas, with controlled contrasts and a number of lighting points suited to the site.
To be studied
Other small outdoor sports areas
The range can be considered for other local facilities provided that the sport, dimensions, setback, loads and surrounding environment are checked.
4 to 12 m selection
Ten references for gradually adapting the height
The manufacturer's documentation covers a wider range from 3 to 12 m. The STADÉLUM product page presents the selected commercial range for outdoor sports facilities here, from 4 to 12 m.
Weight increases with height and is not, on its own, a capacity criterion. Permissible surface areas and wind conditions must be checked for the exact reference.
| Reference | Height | Stated weight | Indicative positioning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20040 | 4 m | 30 kg | Installation very close to the useful area |
| 20045 | 4.5 m | 35 kg | Small court or local sports area |
| 20050 | 5 m | 39 kg | Low-height configuration |
| 20055 | 5.5 m | 44 kg | Intermediate height |
| 20060 | 6 m | 49 kg | Multi-sport court, pétanque or small sports area depending on the study |
| 20070 | 7 m | 67 kg | Greater reach and setback |
| 20080 | 8 m | 80 kg | Tennis or local sports facility depending on the layout |
| 20090 | 9 m | 93 kg | Increased projection distance |
| 20100 | 10 m | 107 kg | High-height configuration within the CONICA range |
| 20120 | 12 m | 140 kg | Maximum height in the presented selection |
The applications shown in the table are for guidance only.
The same height may be suitable for several sports or unsuitable depending on setback, optics, loads, wind conditions and the required lighting level.
Selection guide
Which height range should be considered?
Very close to the area to be illuminated
To be considered for certain pétanque courts, small multi-sport courts or sports areas with limited dimensions. Tilt angles and visual comfort are priorities.
A balance between height, reach and number of lighting points
This range increases lighting reach while maintaining a height suited to local sports facilities.
Greater setback or larger sports areas
To be considered when the poles are positioned further away from the useful area, when the geometry requires longer projection distances or when the configuration justifies the 12 m reference.
Wind, weight and projected surface area
The floodlight, bracket and pole form a single mechanical assembly
The manufacturer's tables show permissible surface areas according to the reference, several wind speeds and different categories. The verification must cover the entire pole-top assembly, not only the surface area of a single floodlight.
Pole-top equipment
A mounting solution to be defined after the photometric layout
The documentation specifies threaded holes positioned 120 and 220 mm from the top. This information facilitates the design of certain mounting configurations, but compatibility of the bracket, drilling points and loads must be confirmed for the actual configuration.
Compatible pole-top accessories
Two mounting solutions to select according to the floodlights
The choice between a straight crossarm and a compact bracket depends on the number of floodlights, their weight, SCx, orientations and the pole-top diameter. The presence of a product link does not constitute mechanical approval.
One or more floodlights
Straight crossarms
Single- or double-clamp versions for distributing floodlights according to the photometric layout. The clamp diameter must be adapted to the CONICA reference.
View straight crossarms
Compact configuration
TOP 60 bracket
Bracket designed for installing a medium-power floodlight on a compatible Ø60 mm pole top. The mounting plate, fasteners and pole capacity must still be checked.
View the TOP 60 bracketTo be validated for each project: pole reference and height, pole-top diameter, number of floodlights, weight, SCx, offsets, orientations and wind conditions.
Layout and visual comfort
Lower mounting heights require particularly careful aiming
With poles from 4 to 12 m, floodlights may be close to players, nearby residents or traffic routes. The choice of optics and tilt angles therefore becomes critical.
STADÉLUM method
Define the layout before selecting the pole
1. Analyse the site
Dimensions, sport, setback, fencing, surroundings, site access and foundation locations.
2. Define the objective
Required illuminance, uniformity, uses and any control scenarios.
3. Design the layout
Number of poles, positions, heights, floodlights, optics and aiming directions.
4. Check the pole top
Weight, projected surface areas, offsets, bracket, mounting and design wind speed.
5. Confirm the civil engineering
Foundation, anchorages and soil conditions to be validated for the actual site configuration.
Point requiring attention
The foundation dimensions in the documentation remain indicative
The manufacturer's documentation specifies that the foundations are provided for guidance based on a bearing pressure at the bottom of the excavation of 2 bars. They must not be used automatically as execution drawings.
The foundation and anchorages must be confirmed according to the pole reference, installed loads, wind conditions, soil and project constraints.

The documentation presents references, heights, weights, dimensions, permissible surface areas according to wind conditions and foundation guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Selecting the right CONICA 20000 pole
What types of sports facilities is the CONICA 20000 pole designed for?
It can be considered for multi-sport outdoor courts, tennis courts, pétanque courts and other local outdoor sports facilities. The height and layout must be adapted to the actual site.
How do I choose between a 4 m and a 12 m pole?
The choice depends on the dimensions of the sports area, setback, optics, projection distances, required illuminance, uniformity and visual comfort.
Is the pole supplied with a crossarm?
Pole-top equipment must be defined according to the floodlights and layout. The bracket or crossarm must be identified during the project and then confirmed with the pole reference.
How is wind resistance checked?
The permissible surface area tables must be compared with the weight and projected surface area of the complete pole-top assembly, taking into account the wind speed and category corresponding to the site.
Can the foundations shown in the manufacturer's data sheet be used directly?
No. They are provided for guidance only. The foundation and anchorages must be confirmed according to the loads, wind conditions, soil and rules applicable to the project.
Why carry out a photometric study?
The height and position of the poles influence aiming, uniformity, glare, spill light and the required power.
Your outdoor project
The pole must be dimensioned together with the floodlights it supports
STADÉLUM studies the layout, height, optics, aiming, loads, wind exposure and pole-top equipment before proposing a configuration.
