Solar Lamp Posts

Solar lamp posts light driveways, gardens, paths and entrances with classic or modern style — and no wiring, no trenching and no power bills. They charge by day and glow automatically at night. The Lighting Outlet stocks quality solar lamp posts and light posts built to last in harsh New Zealand conditions.

Types of solar lamp posts

  • Traditional post-top lanterns — timeless street-style lighting.
  • Modern light posts — sleek finishes for contemporary homes.
  • Solar bollards — lower-profile path and border marking.
  • Solar driveway lights — pair posts with markers for a complete entrance.

How to choose a solar lamp post

  • Height: taller posts cast light over a wider area — match to the space.
  • Brightness: choose enough lumens to light the path or entrance clearly.
  • Panel type: post-top integrated panels are tidy; separate panels help in partial shade.
  • Material & finish: aluminium and powder-coated finishes resist the weather.
  • Colour temperature: warm white for a classic welcome, cool white for clarity.

Solar lamp post FAQs

Are solar lamp posts bright enough to light a driveway? Yes — choose a higher-lumen model, or combine a post with solar driveway lights for full coverage.

Do they stay on all night? Most provide 6–10 hours per charge; many include timer or sensor modes to extend runtime.

Do they work in winter? Yes, with slightly reduced runtime on short, overcast days.

How are they installed? Fully DIY with no wiring — mount or set the post in place and let it charge.
