Description

The Chicago is a 2.46m single-head lamp post in textured black aluminium with a clear seeded blown glass shade housing a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately). The post stands on a flared circular base approximately 280mm in diameter and tapers through a turned column to the traditional coach lantern head at 2.46m above ground level.

Designed for front gardens, driveways, pathways and courtyard entrances, the Chicago pairs period styling with an IP44 weather rating suitable for UK outdoor exposure. The seeded glass diffuses light from the bulb into a soft glow that illuminates a 3-4m radius around the post without harsh glare, making it practical for guiding visitors along paths while maintaining a low-impact aesthetic after dark. Installation requires a hard-wired underground cable run and a concrete base to anchor the post securely.

The textured black powder-coated finish resists corrosion and fading across UK seasonal weather, while the aluminium construction keeps the overall weight manageable for two-person installation. The seeded glass shows small bubbles and ripples characteristic of hand-blown glass, giving each lantern head a slightly different appearance when lit. The 60W maximum rating accommodates standard E27 LED bulbs between 6-12W for energy-efficient operation, or traditional filament bulbs up to 60W for warmer tones and vintage-style glow.

Frequently Asked

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 certifies the lamp post is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for typical UK outdoor exposure including rain, but the fitting should not be installed where it will be directly hosed or submerged.

What bulb should I use?

The Chicago takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W maximum. Most users pair it with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-12W and 2700K colour temperature for energy efficiency and a traditional glow. Filament-style LED bulbs work well with the seeded glass.

How is the lamp post installed?

Installation requires a hard-wired underground cable run from the property to the lamp post location, and a concrete base to anchor the post. A qualified electrician should complete the wiring and connection to mains supply. The post weighs approximately 8-10kg and requires two people for safe positioning.

Can it be used on gravel or paving?

The post must be anchored into a concrete foundation below ground level for stability. It can then be surrounded by gravel, paving, turf or other surface finishes once the base is set. The 280mm circular footprint at ground level allows for neat integration into most paving layouts.
