Amazons details contradict themselves, states 1AA but description states 2AAs. That being said, has anyone installed these on 5 x 5 vinyl post with no modifications to the light or post?

I installed on 4" vinyl posts. The lights come with an interchangeable base to fit different sizes of posts.

I apologize for not knowing the correct answer since I did not installed then myself. One technician did it fir me, although this was a very simple issue for him. The lights are working wonderfully. Very much as expected, but the pending question is do they last as long as they are suppose to? Will see.

I do not know that question but I will say that the second batch I ordered required modifying the fixture in a simpler fashion than with the first batch which saves a little time in modifying the fixture. People with no wiring experience at all probably should not attempt the modification.

The way I mounted the lights, I can not check the length of the links. If I recall, the links were around two and half inches between the mounts. I'm pretty sure they were not 5 or 3 inches long.

No they will not. You will have either to modify the post to 3 3/4 square or buy a post to size and cut 1" thick blocks from it, screw them to the top of your post and then mount the light over it. This is what I did with mine.

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!

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

They don't fit flush-mounted side rails. Believe me. I bought them and had to send them back. Take a close look at the picture.

Hi W. Gawronski, No it will not fit a 4.25x4.25 post without modification to the post. I had to modify my 4x4 post to get my light to fit. I believe the light measures 3.75x3.75 and these are tight measurements. Good luck!!!!!!Mark CoxInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

They are shorter. I don't live at the place we installed these anymore, but they were definitely short. We bought them to fit on a sealing light from IKEA that had three lights in it.

I hear you on that. The dimensions are: 14W X 7.5H X 4DEEP. They do have the ability to be mounted with the 14 sideways or up and down. Which is a plus. I have had no problems with these lights at all. I read that someone didn't have screws. I received everything in tact. Love that I can turn rows of lights on or off.

They should a 4x4 post measures 3.5x3.5 and thats what mine are on. I used stainless screws and drilled them in from the inside where the light is not on the side and that makes the lamp more escure. I have 7 of them and they are great on the post, people ask where I got them.

I tried uploading a photo but couldn't. Don't be deceived by the pictures. I think they were perfect for my queen size mattress and box springs on a bed rail. My daughter took them away to college and she had to shorten them for her platform bed.

They are big enough to fit over standard 4 x 4 post and I think there were 2 holes on the sides. But if not, I drilled the holes. It is plastic so it was easy. We have had them for 3 years and work great if you get enough sun!!

they mount on a flat surface - not on a post - most lights go over the top of the post - these mount flat. they are 4x4 I believe. we took them off our railing for the winter as a couple had already broken and I was sure they would not withstand the winter - still need to get them out and screw them back on the flat rail.

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!

Dennis, i don't have measurements handy because their at my office, HOWEVER, if you can afford better lights, i highly recommend it. In terms of light, they're fine. Mine arrived without screws to hold the plastic on the back of the lights. of course there are no matches at Home Depot, ACE or any other hardware store i shop. i regret buying these.
