Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was unable to find a lamp post that didn't have a crossbar in it and that could just be sunk into concrete. I settled on this one even though it required a bit more work to install.
Before ordering I emailed Royce Lighting to ask for a copy of the installation instructions. I never heard back from them. I then surmised that since it has three holes in the base that it had to be bolted down. After searching the internet for help, I then knew what type of work would be involved to install this.
Dig at least a two-foot deep, twelve-inch diameter hole. (Instructions with the lamp post say to have an 18 inch diameter hole.) Dig a two-foot deep trench for the electrical wire and conduit. I used most of three 80 pound bags of concrete mix after filling the bottom of the hole with a few inches of stone and having the concrete form rise a few inches above the ground.
The included mounting bracket with three anchor bolts is set and leveled in the wet concrete. After the concrete dried, I ran into a problem when I went to install the post base over the anchor bolts. The holes of the base were pressing against the outside of each of the bolts and I was concerned that the threads were going to get damaged so I used a 1/2 inch drill bit to enlarge the holes. The base then easily slipped over the bolts.
The second section of the post attaches with three screws and the third section threads onto the second one. There is a three inch post cup to which I attached the lamp.
All-in-all I am pleased with the post. It is very good looking and a lot nicer than a plain straight post. I am giving it four stars since I had to modify the base by drilling out the holes. I also think that Royce Lighting not answering my email may be a sign of poor customer service.
