Harte Vintage Tear Drop 2.8m Lamp Post - Cast Iron & Steel

At 2.8 metres, this is one of the tallest posts in Harte's Vintage Tear Drop range, built for grounds and entrances on a larger scale, while still carrying the same tear drop head and curved detailing found across the Goose Neck collection. It is a genuinely tall fitting, 2.8m high.

Cast iron and galvanised steel

The post is built from cast iron and galvanised steel, engineered to hold its height securely at the base. Harte says these cast iron and steel elements carry a lifetime guarantee against cracking, bending or breaking under normal conditions, with exclusions for surface finish, electrical components, and installation related damage. It's finished in gloss black as standard, with other colours available on request.

How it works

A clear polycarbonate lens diffuses light from the tear drop head at the top of the post. It requires connection to mains wiring and a fixed base. We always recommend a qualified electrician installs this fitting.

Where it works best

This scale suits larger private grounds, longer avenues, or commercial and public settings where a shorter post wouldn't provide enough coverage or presence at the entrance.
