Outdoor Post
Add a touch of elegance and security to your home with our stylish post lanterns. Illuminate your outdoor space, curated by Light House Co.
A lamp post does something no wall fixture can: it puts light out in the open, away from the house, where a driveway meets the street or a path turns toward the door. That free-standing position is exactly why the fixture has to look resolved from every angle and stand up to weather with no wall to shelter it. An outdoor lamp post earns its place by doing both, and this collection is built around posts and post-top lanterns chosen to manage it.
Every outdoor lamp post here is handpicked the same way each fixture at Light House Co. is, by a team sourcing finishes and forms worth placing where the whole street sees them. The range covers post-top lanterns in traditional coach silhouettes through to cleaner contemporary heads, in weather-rated finishes built for unsheltered exposure. Whether you are lining a long drive or marking a single entry, the depth here lets you match the post to the house and the property to the approach.

Best Outdoor Lamp Posts for...
Driveway Entrances
The best outdoor lamp posts for a driveway entrance stand 7 to 8 feet tall, so light clears a vehicle and reads from the street. Flank the entry with a matched pair seen at distance.
Front Walkways and Paths
The best outdoor lamp posts for a walkway run shorter, around 6 feet, pooling light on the path not the lawn. Space posts so the lit zones overlap slightly, guiding the way to the door.
Exposed and High-Wind Sites
The best outdoor lamp posts for exposed sites need a deep-set or direct-burial base and corrosion-resistant metal, since a free-standing post takes wind a wall fixture never does. Check the mounting and finish rating first.
Traditional and Period Homes
The best outdoor lamp posts for a period home use a coach-style lantern head, fluted post, and a black or bronze finish. Match the cage detailing to the home's era so it reads as original.

FAQs
How tall should an outdoor lamp post be?
Most residential lamp posts stand 6 to 8 feet tall. Use the taller end, around 8 feet, at a driveway entrance where light must clear a vehicle, and the shorter end, near 6 feet, along a walkway where lower, pooled light guides foot traffic toward the door.
Are these lamp posts hardwired or solar?
The lamp posts in this collection are designed for hardwired installation, connecting to your home's exterior electrical supply through a buried line. Hardwiring delivers consistent brightness every night regardless of weather, unlike solar fixtures that depend on daytime sun. Check each product page for specifics.
What finishes hold up best on an outdoor post?
Finishes such as black, bronze, and powder-coated metals suit posts well and hide weather over time. Because a post stands fully exposed with no sheltering wall, corrosion-resistant construction matters more here than on a wall fixture, especially on exposed or coastal sites.
Can I add a lamp post to an existing walkway?
Yes, though running power to a free-standing post in an established yard means trenching a buried electrical line out to the location, which is best handled by an electrician. Plan the post position before digging, accounting for path width, sightlines, and the spread of light you want.
