Lamp Posts

Q: How tall should a lamp post be?

Lamp posts come in a wide range of heights, anywhere from 2.5 m to 12 m tall. However, if you are only looking to install a lamp post in your backyard, then the post should be much closer to the smaller end of the range, somewhere between 2.5 m and 3 m. This will mean it can provide adequate lighting to your outdoor space without awkwardly looming over the area.

Q: Where should you place lamp posts in your yard?

In New Zealand, lamp posts in a yard should ideally be placed somewhere where they are not at risk of getting significantly damaged or significantly damaging others who may not be looking where they are going. Additionally, your lamp should be able to properly illuminate the whole outdoor area without looking out of place.

Lamp posts are used across the country to light up outdoor spaces. A lamp post is a raised light source on top of a tall pole, usually placed at the side of a path. If you want your outdoor space to be lit with style, functionality and efficiency, then look no further than ArchiPro’s range of lamp posts from trusted suppliers in New Zealand.

Featuring the best lamp posts in New Zealand

Whether you need lamp posts for residential or commercial purposes, the importance of quality cannot be understated. A strong foundation is required for well-lit pathways and lamp posts achieve that with aplomb. No matter what style of lamp post you’re after, from vintage to contemporary, you’ll find plenty of great options for your outdoor space in New Zealand. They are an important part of a wider range of high quality outdoor lights available on ArchiPro.

Styles of lamp posts

Contemporary lamp posts

Keep your driveway and sidewalk well-lit, with contemporary lamp posts that add a modern touch. These lamp posts are stylish and on-trend, often made from aluminium and copper.

Victorian lamp posts

Victorian lamp posts add a classic touch and usually consist of one or two lanterns on a straight and narrow base. They make a great form of garden light in New Zealand.

Vintage lamp posts

For something with even more old-fashioned charm, vintage lamp posts are the way to go. This style is usually very decorative with elaborate detailing and ornate additions along the pole.

The advantages of high-quality lamp posts

Having lamp posts that look great without taking away from the natural beauty of a garden or outdoor area is the absolute ideal and is why one should always prioritise quality. High quality lamp posts will effectively light your space and help you get the most enjoyment possible out of your outdoor area. They can also help improve safety and security around your driveway and surrounding pathways, which can deter unwanted intruders. Made from highly durable materials of premium quality they will withstand the harsh weather conditions that we sometimes get in New Zealand.

How to choose a lamp post that’s right for you

When you are deciding on a lamp post in New Zealand, style, placement, and height are some of the most important qualities to think about. To keep your decor streamlined, choose lamp posts in similar colours and styles compared to your outdoor lights and furniture. It’s crucial to take a look at where you’ll be placing your lamp post, and whether it’s intercepting any bushes or trees that can impact the light distribution. Not all lamp posts are the same height, so don’t choose one that looks out of place or gets covered by shrubs. Also, keep in mind that different materials have different properties. Iron lamp posts are more prone to corrosion and rust, but they are highly durable and resistant to strong weather conditions. Aluminium lamp posts are generally low in maintenance, but they’re also relatively lightweight.

Do electricians install lamp posts?

Yes, absolutely. Almost all electricians in New Zealand install lamp posts and the best can have them done in just a day or two. This is probably the safest and most efficient way to install a lamp post and is great if you are cautious about damaging your electrical system in your home or in an outdoor space.
