Can the be installed on PVC posts? Thinking of getting somthing like this, vs $125 per wiring lighting the deck company is quoting

I do not beleive there is any restrictions to where they're mounted. Be careful since the assembly screws tend to rust since they're not stainless

Suggest you email seller...we retro'd our fluorescent fixtures but they were all 12 VOLT. I am a big fan of LED's and for the $$$ savngs and the clean lite. I figure as more people adopt the LED their power bills will drop & the power companies will have to raise rates to make up the difference

These lights fit over my 4x4 posts perfectly. There is a 1/16" hole on each side for mounting with screws supplied. Myself I used two small nails but be careful when hammering as to not hit the light or crack it. Best to use the screws if not good at hammering. No drilling necessary.

We bought brackets and put 4x4 posts inside the pvc posts and then bolted the brackets to the posts and to our concrete patio. You could cut square holes in pavers then concrete your 4x4 posts in ground then slide your pvc posts over the wooden 4x4's

We had it done at a professional lighting store. It was done originally by someone that didn't know how to handle things and they hooked them to the exhaust pipes with xip ties. Needless to say they melted off. We have since changed to XK glow lights and they were done by someone that knew what they were doing so we are real happy with them. The original lights were ok. Just not mounted right. The lighting shop made them good as their man is the one that messed them up. They were replaced with the brand that they sold.

I had a certified electrician install all of these lights. I recommend calling the company and asking for their technical support. They will be able to advise you.

Can definitely be screwed onto a flat railing. Our deck was pulled down from water rot -- just got the new one put up -- and once we stain with redwood sealer, we have new white Pagoda lights to match our white pagoda lanterns around the pool. These new lights do allow the bottom to separate, so that they can fit over a post, so I know what you mean by this question. Sorry, I cannot remember if our copper solar lights could also slide atop a post. They should unsnap apart easily if you own them and want to try both ways.

The Mosaic light strips are "peal and stick." I would not use them around a deck for two reasons. 1) They won't stay stuck in place for very long IMO. 2) You can't run more than 15-20' off one power unit, so around a normal size deck you'd need 2-3 units. LED rope light is a better option IMO.

Hi Cathy. I have to admitt that I have not yet had the post installed or taken it out of the packaging. I am awaiting an electrician to install it. If you are referring to a hole or holes near the top end of the pole to secure the lighting fixture, I don't believe this model has any. I have another post in my yard that is many many years old and the fixture fits securely down over the post without need for screws or other attachent. I would think that if a hole is needed to secure a fixture one could easily be drilled with an ordinary driller and bit. Hope this helps!

I understand yes, which is why we use this for our deck lights. No problems thus far.

The packaging says "not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures or insulated air tight recessed down lights" and "do not use where directly exposed to water". But it sounds like your lamp post would be OK. Note that it also says "not compatible with photo controls..."

...solar lights are slightly larger than a 4x4 post....if you screw in from 2 sides it works fine...just be aware.... after a short while my 3 out of the 4 lights stop working, which means the batteries were not too fresh...contacted seller could not care less....good luck!As you can see from other recent post, they do not last. I would not recommend to purchase...

Hi Joanna, They just screw to the post with (2) screws. I had to modify my post because the solar light would not fit my post. But this light is bright and lasts all night long as I have this lighting up my fountain. Good luck!!!!Mark

These lights are NOT low voltage. I used threaded ridgid conduit (1/2 inch) for the post. The wires come straight out of the bottom of the light (there is no cavity to house the electrical wires) therefor you will need a straight through connector; such as a c-series LB, LR, etc. conduit body.

Yes, I have them screwed on top of my posts on a flat surface. I would caution you that these lights aren't very reliable. I bought 4 about a year ago - now only 2 light up

Even though I didn't have to do it, it might be possible...if you use a hose clamp or something similar to attach a piece of PVC pipe the same diameter as your seat post, you might be able to attach the light mount to the PVC and attach the light at a 90 degree angle.
