Hi...i am considering purchasing this light for a new england arbor vinyl lamp post (4" square)...anyone know if this would fit on that type of post?

This has a 3" round base. You would need an adapter or something to make it fit. Love this lantern! Perfect lighting at night to see walkways.

No way will it fit a square post. I believe I have a 3" round post and it was a very snug fit.

Out of the box, it was for a round post, when I purchased it. Maybe they have an adaptor that can be purchased separately?

It will work on any post, but you will need to purchase an additional post most adaptor since the bottom of the lamp. Check link below for example. http://www.lowes.com/pd_358617-1811-PB-01MBK_1z0zai9__?productId=3531110&Ns;=p_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&pl;=1

To attach lamp on top, you must a round base lamp. This can secured with tension screws included in the lamp kit. You should be able to slide the Portsmouth post over the existing metal lamp post. Snug the new post to one side of the post and attach with screws. Hope this helps....we were well pleased with the end results. Feel free to contact me again Scott

Jac I have a New England arbors post light in my front yard and the color is white, it has been there for about three years and it still looks like new. I have had a lot of compliments on it. I also put my street address on it and they are in goldtone numbers. I'm sure that it could be painted a different color although it is a PVC texture, so you would have to take it by a paint store and asked them what type of pay would stick to the texture of the PVC. I hope that your post turns out as well as mine, and hope that you get as many compliments as I have had about my post and light. By the way, I mounted my post over a 4 x 4 post to give it more strength which was a good idea. J Howell Jacksonville Florida

They have a lip that screws it in place, only thing is that they don't fit snug on 4x4 post. You need to place shims on three sides for firm fit. Also I wouldn't recommend this set of lights as only one of the 4 worked for a short time. Replaced batteries and still didn't work. They look nice but that's all.

I don't know for sure but i would say if a regular incandescent 4" light fits, this should to. I will advise sticking with the soft rubber grommets then the plastic these come with.

Light is hung high so I cannot get to it easily to measure. Length will be no problem but may be tight on the width. Should fit but I cannot say for sure. Wish I could help you more.

Hi there! The back plate is just over 4" square; it is right around 4.5". So, a bit too large for a 4x4. Switch to a bigger post if you can because these lights are soooo pretty!

The cap fits a standard 4x4, so no, it would not fit an actual 4"x4" post. You will need to find one that fits a vinyl post.

Love the light. Contact the light manufacter & see if those style of batteries fit.

No these will not fit on PVC/vinyl posts only 4x4 wood posts. I had to return them because of this.

This was a gift for my mom. I had purchased "Thomas Lighting SL90107 Covington Outdoor Post Lantern, Black". My husband just slid this post over her existing metal post(buried some pressure treated wood on each side of old post to affix the new post to) and wired new lantern to top.

I went to mount mine on a 4" post and the hexagonal base was larger than the 4" post. I cut a piece of 2x6 in a hexagon shape about an inch larger than the lamp all the way around. I then attached the 2x6 hexagon to the top of the 4x4 and mounted the lamp on top. I have had many complements on how nice they look. Obviously they are not as bright as an electric version, but they are the brightest solar version I have ever found!

I did what the directions said and fixed my own lantern to the top with stainless screws. i used a wood post for the center but i do not see why you would not be able to use the round post. I would pre drill the metal post so you can attache to hold it square and in place. hope this helps

If you are asking whether they fit on a standard 4x4 post cap, they will. The lower base has screw holes both on the side and the top, though you may need to place a wood block under the lower base because the plastic will crack when you screw it in due to the gap underneath. The reflective portion of the light is just above the screws and snaps into place, so removing them again may involve breaking it.

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.
