Post Top Light Selection Guide

A post top fixture does the quiet work of lighting a walkway while setting the character of the whole streetscape, which is why campuses and downtowns choose them over bare area heads. They sit in the Path Lights group within Outdoor Area and Flood Lights, alongside Bollard Lights for lower level path marking. For taller lot and roadway coverage, compare LED Parking Lot Lights and Street Lights.

Match the Post Top to the Setting

Match the style and output to the pole height and the look the site wants.

Output, Distribution, and Dark Sky

Size output by pole height and spacing, aiming for even coverage with no dark gaps between poles. Type III and Type V distributions suit most walkway and area layouts. Where the site enforces dark sky or light trespass limits, choose a full cutoff post top that keeps light below horizontal. 3000K reads warm and traditional, while 4000K reads crisp and modern.

Voltage, Controls, and Mounting

Most commercial post tops accept 120 to 277V, and many offer a built in photocell for dusk to dawn operation or a receptacle for networked controls. They mount to a standard round or square pole top or a slip fitter. For lower, closer path marking between post tops, add Bollard Lights, and for the broader outdoor catalog see Outdoor Area and Flood Lights.

Frequently Asked Questions About Post Top Lights

Post top lights mount on top of a pole to light walkways, parking areas, and campus streetscapes at a pedestrian scale. They combine even area light with a decorative look that sets the character of the site.

Decorative acorn and lantern styles usually run 10 to 16 ft, while higher output area post tops go 16 to 20 ft. Match the pole height to the spacing and the coverage the walkway or lot needs.

Post top lights are decorative, pedestrian scale fixtures on shorter poles for walkways and campuses, while parking lot lights are higher output area heads on taller poles for lot and roadway coverage.

Full cutoff post top models keep all light below horizontal to meet dark sky and light trespass requirements. Choose a full cutoff version where the site enforces those limits.

Most commercial post tops accept a universal 120 to 277V input, so the same fixture runs on common site circuits. Many include a photocell for dusk to dawn operation.

3000K gives a warm, traditional look that suits downtowns and historic districts, while 4000K reads crisp and modern for campuses and corporate sites.
