light pole
Sidewalk light support
A light pole is a tall post supporting a street lamp or outdoor light fixture.
Light poles line roads, parking lots, and public spaces, providing illumination after dark.
The term is interchangeable with lamp post, though light pole tends toward utilitarian contexts while lamp post sounds more traditional: He crashed his car into a light pole.
