What Customers Are Saying

The lamp post features a dusk-to-dawn sensor, electrical outlet, and easy installation, which many customers find satisfactory. However, some users report issues with the photo sensor not functioning properly, and note the pole feels thin or flimsy. While the product is considered a good value by many, a significant number of customers have experienced problems with the sensor and poor customer service.

Sturdy, attractive and easy to install lamp.

Would Recommend

The lamp post met all our expectations. It was attractive, perfect height and instructions for wiring and mounting in the ground were spot on. The installation project was simple and straight forward, even for a 77 year old.

Reasonably priced.

Would Not Recommend

I was excited that the Post includes an Outlet, which will allow me to plug in my Christmas Lights in the future, and it also includes a Sensor, for Dawn to Dusk lighting.

Great Matte Finish!

Would Recommend

The matte finish on this outdoor pole is perfect. It matched perfectly with the light we purchased to mount to the top! My only issue is the photocell wasn't working (we think - something within that piece is broken or malfunctioning). We're having an electrician friend come out and double check everything else, but the pole itself is great! I'm sure the one we have is a lemon, or it's OE for installation. ;)

Photo Sensor & Outlet make it great

Would Recommend

I bought this pole to replace our existing pole which was worn out. This new pole looks good and I was easily able to mount my old light onto this pole. I'm glad this pole has the photocell built-in (I used a photo cell that screwed into my light socket below the bulb on my old pole).

Pole Replacement

Replacement pole for my dusk to dawn light. It was a diy project for me. I was quoted thousands of dollars to replace. I did the labor and completed the project for a fraction of the cost.
