Frequently Asked Questions
What post size does the 49849BKT One Light Outdoor Post Mount require?
▾
The fixture is engineered for a standard 4-inch diameter post, the most common size for residential and municipal lighting poles. It includes pre-drilled mounting holes and a set of stainless-steel brackets, allowing a secure attachment with basic tools such as a drill and wrench.
Does the lantern support LED bulbs?
▾
Yes, the lantern uses a standard E26 socket, making it compatible with LED, incandescent, or halogen bulbs up to 60 W. Installing an LED of 800 lumens provides bright, energy-efficient illumination while extending bulb life and reducing maintenance frequency. The fixture’s heat-dissipating design ensures the LED operates within safe temperature limits.
How does the finish hold up in coastal climates?
▾
The black powder-coat is formulated with marine-grade additives that resist salt-spray corrosion and UV fading. In real-world tests on seaside properties, the finish maintains its depth and sheen for several years without peeling, provided the glass globe remains intact and regular cleaning removes salt deposits.
Is the glass globe break-resistant?
▾
The globe is made from tempered clear glass with a subtle seed pattern, offering increased strength over standard annealed glass. While it can withstand typical outdoor impacts, it is not shatter-proof; a heavy strike may cause breakage, so handling during installation should be done with care.
Can the lantern be painted to match other colors?
▾
Painting the fixture is not recommended because the factory-applied powder-coat provides the corrosion protection. Adding a new paint layer could trap moisture and compromise durability. If a different hue is essential, consider selecting a model that offers the desired finish from the manufacturer rather than repainting.
