Buying Guide
FAQs
What size outdoor post light should I choose?
Sizes range from 10×10" to 20×20". Larger lights (20×20") offer broader coverage, while smaller sizes (10×10") suit tighter spaces. Consider your installation location and desired light spread.
Are these stainless steel post lights waterproof?
Yes, all listed models have IP54 or IP55/IP65 ratings, making them resistant to rain, snow, and sleet. Higher ratings (IP65) offer better protection for extreme weather.
What voltage options are available?
Most support 110V–240V hardwired use, with some (e.g., JHOTEC) also accommodating 12V wiring. Solar models (e.g., SkyGlow, PTOUG) operate independently of voltage requirements.
How do solar vs. hardwired post lights compare?
Solar lights (e.g., SkyGlow, PTOUG) require no wiring and are eco-friendly but may have shorter runtime. Hardwired models (e.g., JHOTEC, AILICIN) provide consistent brightness but need professional installation.
Do these lights include bulbs or installation kits?
Hardwired models typically include installation kits and require separate bulbs (e.g., E26/E27). Solar models have built-in LEDs. Check product details for included accessories.
What design styles are available?
Options include modern (JHOTEC), retro (PTOUG), and industrial (SLAWA). Tempered glass or frosted shades add aesthetic versatility for patios, pathways, or entryways.
Which models offer motion sensors or color options?
Solar fence lights (B07M6PC5PX, B0B4HZK347) include motion sensors. PTOUG’s solar light offers 3000K–6000K color options, while SkyGlow provides warm 3000K LED lighting.
What warranty or customer support is provided?
Most brands (JHOTEC, SLAWA, PTOUG) offer 1-year warranties and responsive customer service. Solar models often include replacement guarantees for defects.
