Description
This spun acrylic lamp post brings the look of an old-fashioned street lamp to Christmas, lit through with multicoloured LEDs that glow in a cheerful mix of red, green, blue and pink. Its shape follows a classic lamp post: a lantern head under a flared, pointed cap, a slender column with a collar partway down, and a wide base that flares out at the foot. The spun acrylic wraps the frame in a fine, lacy web, so the light catches and scatters through it and the whole figure glows from top to bottom, rather than showing a plain line of bulbs.
It is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so it can stand beside the front door, on a porch, at the edge of a path or out in the garden, greeting visitors through the long December evenings. Indoors it makes a cheerful companion for the tree, brightens a dark corner of the hallway and adds a festive glow by a window. Set near a lit tree or a wreath, it gives the scene the feel of a Christmas village street, and on its own it lends a doorway a warm, welcoming focus.
It runs at low voltage through a mains transformer, and the 5m lead cable gives you room to place the lamp post a good way from the socket. We would keep the transformer indoors or under cover. Its IP44 rating means it is splash-resistant, though it should never stand in water. A built-in timer means you need not remember to switch it on each evening. To care for it, brush off dust and leaves with a soft dry cloth, and store it somewhere dry after Christmas. Set it where it can be seen from the street or the window, and let it light the way home.
