Harte Vintage Tear Drop 1.5m Lamp Post - Cast Iron, Steel & Copper Head

Shortest in the Range, Fitted With Copper

This 1.5 metre lamp post, the shortest in Harte's Vintage Tear Drop range, is fitted with a copper head in place of the standard black finish, a genuine material variation on the same cast iron and steel post. It is still a tall fitting, 1550mm high.

Cast iron, steel and a copper head

The post itself is cast iron and galvanised steel, finished in gloss black, while the lantern head at the top is copper, left unpainted in its natural tone. Harte's lifetime guarantee against cracking, bending or breaking applies to the cast iron and steel elements of the post; the copper head sits outside that guarantee, as with all copper components.

How it works

A clear polycarbonate lens diffuses the light within the head. It requires connection to mains wiring and a fixed base. We always recommend a qualified electrician installs this fitting.

Where it works best

At this shorter height, it suits a garden path, a driveway entrance, or a side passage, and the copper head gives it a slightly more decorative note than the all black post, useful near a front door or a more formal entrance.
