Completed Pole Light Repair in Asheville, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Hendersonville branch responded to a flashing pole light issue for Facility Solutions, LLC in Asheville, NC. On January 15, 2025, technicians Gump Martin and Tyler Harris completed a lift-assisted repair and LED bulb replacement, restoring steady, reliable lighting for the property.

This project falls under our Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting services. Our team ensured safe access to the elevated fixture, verified proper voltage at the base, and installed a durable, high-output LED to stop the flicker and improve night visibility.

The Issue: Flashing Pole Light

The pole-mounted exterior light was intermittently flashing, creating concerns for safety, visibility, and curb appeal. Flickering is often caused by a failing lamp, incompatible components, or poor connections. Our Asheville-area crew mobilized with a lift to diagnose the light at height and correct the fault in one visit.

Our Lift-Assisted Repair Process

On-site assessment: Verified the pole location and set up a lift for safe, efficient access to the head of the light.
Electrical verification: Confirmed the circuit was delivering 240V at the base of the pole, ruling out supply issues downstream of the panel.
Fault isolation: With proper voltage present, we focused on the lamp and fixture components as the likely cause of the flashing.
LED replacement: Removed the failing bulb and installed a high-quality, outdoor-rated LED for dependable output and long life.
Functional testing: Restored power, verified stable illumination, and observed operation to confirm that the flicker was eliminated.
Clean, safe wrap-up: Secured the work area, removed the lift, and documented the service for the client’s records.

By confirming voltage at the base and replacing the failing lamp, we delivered a fast, targeted solution without unnecessary component swaps.

Why Upgrade to LED for Pole Lights?

Longer life: LEDs often outlast traditional lamps, reducing maintenance at height.
Steady output: Quality LEDs minimize flicker and start instantly, even in cold weather.
Energy efficiency: Lower wattage for the same or better light levels can help trim operating costs.
Better visibility: Crisp, even illumination improves safety and appearance for lots, walkways, and building fronts.

Safety and Quality Checks

Working at height and around live circuits requires careful procedures. For this Asheville repair, we:

Used a properly sized lift for safe access to the pole-mounted fixture.
Verified correct voltage delivery at the pole base before component replacement.
Checked terminations and lamp seating to ensure solid, vibration-resistant connections.
Confirmed steady light output after installation and power-up.

These steps help prevent repeat issues and extend the service life of the repaired light.
