Post mounts

The phrase “post mount” refers to traditional lamp posts. Reminiscent of old-world Europe or a Victorian cottage, post mounts are an elegant form of outdoor lighting.

Everyone with a yard or garden needs outdoor lighting. It makes your property safer, and makes it much easier to find your dog or cat after dark! But more importantly, it’s a lovely way to illuminate all your hard work and make your patio or yard a sitting area the entire family can enjoy after dark.

When considering post mounts, one must keep several questions in mind:

* Where will I place the post mount? How will I get electricity there?
* What color metal do I prefer?
* What sort of finish would I like?
* Do I want a more modern or classical style?
* How many lights do I want on the post mount? (For instance, there are three on the one in the photo above.) How many bulbs do I want per light?

Once you’ve answered these questions, head to Home Lighting Mart to review you options. Most post mounts are available in a black steel, stainless steel, or weathered bronze finish. Some post mounts are painted. What you choose ultimately depends on how you want the pole to look during the day time – at night, the base of the lamp isn’t entirely visible.

How many lights and bulbs you want depends on how much illumination you want. Many post mounts use smaller bulbs, so if you need a lot of light for an area, go for more bulbs.

So if you’re looking for a style of outdoor lighting that is both timeless and weatherproof, consider post mounts from Home Lighting Mart.
