Description
A low post light with a black body and a clear polycarbonate section at the head, standing 40cm tall and 14cm across. Light passes out through the clear part rather than being thrown in one direction, so the glow spreads sideways and downwards around the base. It takes an E27 lamp, and the proportions suit a standard GLS, a decorative ST64 globe or a slim tubular T45. We would put a warm white LED in ours and leave it at that.
It is a handy height for edging a path, marking the turn of a drive or punctuating a border where a full height lamp post would be far too tall. The IP44 rating means it copes with rain and splashing outdoors, and it reads just as well under a porch or along a covered side passage. With a suitable dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer, the level can be brought right down for evenings sat outside. Where a run of them is wanted, we would space them evenly along one side of a path rather than lining both.
The body is finished in black and the clear part is moulded polycarbonate, which shrugs off knocks rather better than glass in a spot close to boots and wheelbarrows. To keep the output clean, wipe the clear section with a damp cloth and a drop of washing up liquid whenever grit or cobwebs gather, then dry it off; the black finish asks for nothing more than the same cloth. It carries a two year warranty. The same design runs to a taller post and an upward facing wall light, so a path and a doorway can be kept in step with one another. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp of up to 20W. LED types work best here, including GLS A60, ST64 and tubular T45 shapes.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP44, so it withstands rain and splashing water in an open garden setting as well as sheltered spots.
Is it dimmable?
The fitting will dim provided you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer switch.
How tall is it?
It stands 400mm high with a diameter of 145mm, making it one of the shorter posts for path and border use.
How do I clean the clear section?
With the supply off and the lamp cool, use a damp cloth with mild detergent, then dry. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams on polycarbonate.
Is there a matching light for the house wall?
Yes, an upward facing wall light shares the same design, and there is a taller post if you need more height.
