Post Top Lighting: Pole Fit, Fixture Style and Photocell Selection

A post-top purchase has to match the pole, the surrounding architecture and the control arrangement. Modern, lantern and acorn housings offer different appearances, but the installation details still need to be checked model by model.

Prepare the site information

1. Measure the pole-top connection and record the height and condition of each existing pole.
2. Choose the housing style alongside distribution and service access, rather than treating the decorative shape as a coverage specification.
3. Distinguish photocell-included versions from photocell-ready versions that require a separate compatible control.
4. Mark pedestrian routes, seating and property boundaries on the site plan before reviewing output and spacing.

Resolve the model-specific questions

How do modern, lantern and acorn post tops differ?

Their housing styles suit different architectural preferences. Select the appearance together with light distribution, pole fit and the required output; housing shape alone does not establish coverage.

Does photocell-ready mean the photocell is included?

No. The photocell-ready lantern versions list a base and shorting cap; the photocell must be purchased separately. Other listed versions include a photocell. Check the exact version before ordering.

Will the light fit my existing pole?

Compare the pole-top dimensions and mounting arrangement with the fixture installation instructions. Verify the pole condition and any required adapters before buying.

Should I choose the highest available wattage?

Choose the setting through a site layout that considers pole height, spacing, pedestrian routes and nearby properties. More wattage is not automatically a better result.

What information is needed for a post-top quotation?

Provide the fixture style and SKU, pole count, pole dimensions, mounting heights, site plan, photocell preference and delivery location. State fixture quantities separately from pack quantities.

Turn the plan into an order

Keep a schedule with one line per area and selected SKU. Include the variant, fixture count, pack count, mounting accessories and control components. Mark any unconfirmed requirement explicitly so it can be resolved before the order is finalized.

Retain the specification sheet and installation instructions for the selected model with the project records. If a listed setting, connection or accessory appears inconsistent, request clarification for that exact SKU rather than transferring information from a neighboring product.
