Frequently Asked Questions

Post lights are commonly installed in streetscapes, parking lots, parks, campuses, driveways, and pathways to provide safe and attractive illumination.

Mounting height depends on the application. Pathways typically use 8–12 ft poles, while parking lots and streets may require poles between 12–20 ft for adequate coverage.

Yes, decorative post lights are widely used in commercial and municipal settings to combine safety lighting with architectural style.

Many models feature integrated photocells or can be paired with external sensors to automatically turn on at night and off during the day. Contact us if you don't see those options on the fixture you're interested in.

LED post lights use significantly less energy, last longer, and require less maintenance compared to traditional metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures.

Most post lights are designed to fit standard 3-inch outside diameter poles, which is the most common size used in commercial and residential applications. However, decorative or heavy-duty post lights may require 4-inch or larger poles depending on the fixture weight, wind load rating, and installation environment. Always confirm the pole’s tenon size or fitter requirement in the product specifications before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Outdoor post lights mount on vertical poles or posts to provide area illumination at a pedestrian scale, typically at heights ranging from 8 feet to 20 feet. This fixture category covers both functional street and parking lot fixtures and decorative post top lanterns suited for campus pathways, parks, and entrance drives. The combination of mounting height and broad distribution pattern makes post lights effective for lighting walkways, parking areas, building entrances, transit stops, and commercial streetscapes where uniform ground-level illumination is the goal.

Post top fixtures are available in a range of optical distributions, from tight cutoff designs that direct all light downward for dark-sky compliance to broader distributions that illuminate surrounding landscaping and vertical surfaces. Acorn-style, lantern-style, and contemporary flat-lens post tops each serve different aesthetic contexts, from historic downtown districts to modern commercial campuses. LED post lights now offer efficacy ratings well above traditional high pressure sodium and metal halide post tops, significantly reducing energy costs and maintenance intervals for outdoor site lighting programs. Most LED post top fixtures accept standard 3-inch or 4-inch tenon mounts for compatibility with existing pole infrastructure.
