Post Top Light Styles
- UFO post tops (33W to 150W): A modern, low-profile design that spreads light evenly over walkways, plazas and smaller parking areas. Higher-wattage models handle wider spaces and taller poles.
- Lantern post tops (30W to 120W): A classic look for downtown streets, shopping villages, campuses and hospitality properties. Power and color selectable, with photocell versions available.
- Acorn post tops: A traditional, heritage-inspired fixture for parks, historic districts and municipal streetscapes, wattage and color selectable.
- Gooseneck and decorative post tops: Architectural options, including a 35W gooseneck and 50W and 125W decorative models, for entrances, courtyards and landscaped areas.
Replacing Metal Halide and HPS Post Tops with LED
LED post top lights use far less energy than metal halide and high-pressure sodium fixtures, turn on instantly and hold their brightness over time. With no lamps or ballasts to replace, maintenance drops sharply on sites with dozens of poles. Uniform, low-glare light improves visibility and wayfinding for pedestrians and drivers while keeping the site welcoming after dark.
How to Choose the Right Post Top Light
- Style: Match the property's architecture. UFO for modern sites; lantern, acorn or gooseneck for traditional or decorative settings. Using one style across the site keeps the look consistent.
- Wattage and pole height: Lower wattages suit short decorative poles along paths and entrances; higher wattages suit taller poles over drives and parking areas. Selectable models let you set output on site.
- Color temperature: Warmer tones create a welcoming feel for hospitality, retail and residential areas; cooler tones give crisp light for security and parking. Color selectable models let you choose at install.
- Controls: Choose a model with a built-in photocell for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, or pair fixtures with your existing controls.
- Pole fit: Post tops slip over the top of the pole or a tenon and lock with set screws. Confirm the pole top or tenon diameter against each product's fitter size before ordering.
