pole light grounding

[Ben Trueblood]

I have searched the code and cannot find anything that specifies the requirement to bond/ground pole light fixtures. Is there a code that speaks about it and if so please include as a reference.

Thanks

410.42 & 410.46 might cover that for you.
(Note the requirement is to connect to an equipment grounding conductor, there is NO requirement for a ground rod)

That in the 2008 nec
410.18 &410.21 in 2005

I agree with Gus.

A light pole with only a single branch circuit (A multiwire branch circuit qualifies as a single branch circuit for this requirement) run to it does not require a grounding electrode be installed at the pole. (See 250.32(A) Exception)
