Harte Vintage Tear Drop 3.7m Lamp Post - Cast Iron & Steel

At 3.7 metres, this is the tallest lamp post in Harte's Vintage Tear Drop range, closer in scale to a traditional street lamp than a garden light, while still carrying the tear drop head and curved lines that define the wider Goose Neck collection. It is a genuinely tall fitting, so please check the size against your space before ordering.

Cast iron and galvanised steel

Built from cast iron and galvanised steel, this post is engineered for its full height, with a base designed to keep it stable at that scale. 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, engineered base. We always recommend a qualified electrician installs this fitting.

Where it works best

At this height, it suits large private avenues, estate entrances, or public and commercial settings, giving a wide spread of light and a presence closer to civic lighting than a typical garden fixture.
