Why type of poles, wood?

Are there any specs as to height and output. This could range between a 4X4 and full blown utility type pole.

Well wood is the best for temporary lights and the cheapest way to go. No footings required just bore a hole and drop it in. Then you run your overhead wires from pole to pole with the lights. When the job's done kill the power and let the laborers do the rest.

The overhead wiring is probably going to be the detail that becomes really important - how much tension are you going to put on it, will the 4x4's support that much tension, and how low will the wire sag vs. how much clearance do you need for vehicles.

And of course, if there is much tension, you will need some type of foundation or guy wires for the posts.

Make sure you verify everyone is willing to accept an EC design. Sometimes the expectation is that the contractor will hire an engineer to do the design at their cost.

To clarify I'm referring to wood utility style poles not 4x4's.
