Abstract: A system for accessing industrial lighting fixtures is described. The system may include a telescoping light pole having a light fixture at one end, a base support at an opposite end for securing the light fixture, and an electrical passage through tubular supports of the pole for providing power to the light fixture. The telescoping function of the light fixture may be supported by a biasing member inside the tubular supports. A tool for assisting in the extension and retraction of the fixture is also provided, as well as a mating device for mating the electrical passage with a port of an electrical enclosure.

Abstract: A pole support system suitable for lighting fixtures. The system may include a lower support; a guide member interior to the lower support; a telescoping upper support inside the lower support and axially movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the upper support being at least partially received in an annular space between the lower support and the guide member; a biasing member biasing the upper support to the extended position; and a locking assembly partially surrounding the lower support at one end of the lower support. The locking assembly may include a body having a passage in which the upper support slides therethrough, and enclosing the passage at a first end while maintaining the passage in fluid communication with the interior of the lower support; and a lock configured to selectably engage the upper support to constrain axial motion of the upper support.
