SKU: 1001OZ What is an Outdoor Post Light? An outdoor post lantern is attached to the top of a metal post (not included). This is usually positioned at the entrance to a driveway, or in the middle of a large open space. It can also function to light an entry-way if placed close to the building. Light is emitted in all directions. As a hardwired fixture, outdoor post lights are electrically installed and may be operated by a wall switch or sensor. A larger yard may need more than one. They can be alternatively mounted onto a pier-mount adapater on top of a wall. Outdoor Post Light Benefits Lights up a wide area. Stationary light mounted to a post. Good for a yard or open area. Spreads light out in all directions. Works well at a driveway entrance. Can light up pathways and sidewalks. Stands out as an elegant part of the home. Bulbs are protected from the weather. Add two for balance. All-Weather Resistant This item features a specially applied finish, which is particularly durable in harsh weather. While all outdoor lights are designed to be safe for use in wet, hot or cold conditions, this weather-resistant light provides an extra barrier of protection. It is particularly suited for harsher weather, including the corrosive nature of salt-water near to coastlines and sea-water. The finish will last longer and keep the light protected and looking attractive. For the ultimate strength in weather resistance and longevity, this item is a great choice. Mission Style The Arts and Crafts movement gave rise to the popularity of Craftsman design, in addition to Mission revival and the Prairie architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Mission Style Lighting is defined by the use of art glass with geometric shapes, solid materials, natural woods, and understated design elements that radiate substance and tranquility. Ambient Background Lighting An outdoor light fixture attached to a post can shed a strong light into the surrounding area. At night it can light up a whole yard, although the most light will be found nearer to the fixture. Post-mounted lights can light up a driveway or larger outdoor space. You may need more than one for a larger yard, especially for lighting in the dark. For which rooms? For outdoor use in an exposed area such as in the middle of the yard, or next to a driveway or entrance. Placement/Layering A post light will radiate in all directions, which covers a reasonably large area. Note that you’ll get strong shadows at night from plants and other objects. You would do well to pair it with a wall lantern or other light. Mounts to a Post Mounts on top of a lamp post or pier mount adapter. The post should be the appropriate diameter to fit the fixture. Posts and pier mounts are sold separately. Installed by an Electrician An electrician or person with electrical installation knowledge will need to permanently wire the post light into the building’s electrical supply.
