ABSTRACT:
Light standard apparatus includes a post made of nonconductive (plastic) material topped or closed at the top by a plastic cap. A light fixture or other electrical element is secured to the cap either directly or through a bushing. A noncorrosive ground element is secured to the cap on the bushing for grounding the fixture or element to a ground conductor which extends into the post along with current conductors. The post is secured to a base, and the base is appropriately secured to a pad or to the earth. Appropriate fasteners are used to secure the base and the post in place. Earth anchors may be used, as required.
