Available in a variety of finishes, styles, and mounting types, the right post light enhances both function and design.

🧱 Mounting Options: Which to Choose?

Post Type Best For Key Notes

💡 Pro Tips for Choosing the Right Size

  • Long Driveways: Use multiple 80–96" posts with 18–24" lanterns spaced evenly.
  • Walkways or Gardens: Opt for shorter 60–72" posts with smaller 8–12" lanterns.
  • Commercial Use: Extra tall posts (up to 10') with oversized lanterns increase visibility and security.
