The pilot reported during the flight that he and the crew had just been called back to their heliport/base to refuel after an air ambulance standby request had been cancelled. The weather was VFR with light winds and the sun had set one hour before the incident. The pilot determined he would fly an unaided night landing to maintain currency and informed his medical crew. The helipad was surrounded by a fence and had a fuel farm on the north edge of the landing pad. The crew cleared their area of view as the aircraft went over the fence and the pilot began to center the aircraft on the northern landing pad and thought he was clear of the fuel farm. The pilot became fixated on a fuel hose laying close to the fuel farm and the aircraft began to drift toward the fuel farm or to the right as it was setting down. At about 5 feet from the skids setting down on the pad the aircraft rotor blades made contact with a small light pole that was attached to the fuel farm tank. The light pole top was severed and landed on the pad. The pilot immediately applied left cyclic, increased collective to cushion the landing and then initiated an aircraft evacuation. There were no injuries.
