Garden Post Top Lights

Post top lights are outdoor lighting solutions that are commonly mounted on poles along roads, paths, or in parks. They are also popular in commercial and residential community as well as educational campuses. They are decorative and provide lighting to areas with high foot traffic or parking spaces to increase safety. These lights are usually placed at a height of 7 to 20 feet, and multiple light fixtures can be mounted on a single pole. But illumination is not the only purpose of lamp posts; the functions of outdoor lamp posts are endless, some of which are listed below.

1.    Illumination

The most basic use of outdoor lamps is this, to provide illumination. Installing lamps outside allows pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers to find their way in the dark. The lamp posts can be installed at different heights for different needs and types of lamps. For instance, pedestrian paths could have lamps at a lower height and closer and main roads at increased height further away from each other for a better spread of light. 

2.    Enhance Security

No one is comfortable being in the dark. It can be a scary experience and increases the chances of crime. Good lighting directly relates to your mood and makes you feel safe. By setting lampposts, you prevent crime and improve the area's security. Statistically 

3.    Reduce Accidents

Places that do not have enough street lighting often have relatively high accident rates. Even with the light from your vehicle, the visibility is limited. It is difficult to identify obstacles and, thus, vehicle crashes. With lamp posts, the illumination provided increases the visibility and thus reduces accidents. The lighting is also consistent; it broadens the driver’s sight and lowers the blind spots making the driver feel at ease on the road. 

4.    Beautification 

Of course, installing decorative post top lights can add to the beauty of the landscape. They provide pleasant lighting for walks in the evening. Aesthetic lamp posts are often chosen to be placed in business establishments, parks, residential colonies, or government buildings. They are available in so many styles that making a decision could be very confusing.
