Posts Lights/Top

Exterior post lights — also called post-top or lamp-post lights — mount on top of posts, pillars and columns to add height, character and safety lighting to driveways, entrances and gardens. Available in traditional lantern and modern designs, they suit every architectural style.

Types of Exterior Post Lights

Classic lantern-style post tops bring a timeless welcome to driveways and gates, while sleek modern pillar lights suit contemporary homes and rendered walls. Sensor and dusk-to-dawn models switch on automatically for convenience and security. Post-top fittings pair with a matching pillar or lamp-post, and many take standard E27 or B22 globes for easy replacement. Combine with bollard lights and pathway lighting to guide the way from gate to door.

Choosing an Exterior Post Light

Scale the fitting to the post and entrance — a taller pillar or wide driveway suits a larger lantern. Warm 3000K light gives a welcoming glow at entries. Because post tops are fully exposed, choose IP44 as a minimum and IP65 for open positions; in coastal areas specify 316 marine-grade stainless or powder-coated aluminium to resist salt corrosion. For entry walls and façades, add matching outdoor wall lights and garden lighting, or browse the full outdoor lighting range.
