Lamp posts
A lamp post is ideal when you want to illuminate a garden, driveway, yard, or larger area from a height of several meters. In this collection, you will primarily find LED lamp posts ranging from 3 to 6 meters high, available as a complete set with a street or park light, or as a modular system that you can customize yourself.
Please note that these are not low garden bollards for borders or pathways. Are you looking for compact lighting at knee or hip height instead? Then take a look at our standing outdoor lights.
Lamp post for the garden or driveway
For a garden or private driveway, a 3-meter lamp post is usually the most practical choice. This height elevates the light above parked cars, vegetation, and low boundary fences, without the pole immediately taking on the scale of a commercial site.
A garden lamppost can be used in various locations:
- At the beginning or end of a long driveway
- Next to a parking space or carport
- In a spacious yard or courtyard
- By an entrance gate
- Along a wide path leading to a home or outbuilding
Check where the light beam will fall before making a purchase. The height of the pole not only determines how far the light can reach: the light output, beam angle, and placement of the LED fixture are also important. Therefore, do not place a powerful lamp unnecessarily close to windows, bedrooms, or neighboring gardens.
Furthermore, a 3-meter lamppost is quite different from a decorative garden light.Wil je een groter oppervlak functioneel verlichten, bekijk dan ook het assortiment LED-straatverlichting.
Classic or modern: which style suits your home?
A classic lamppost is especially suited for rural homes, old farmhouses, stately homes, and gardens with decorative paving. A modern lamppost fits better with sleek facades, newly built homes, modern business premises, and minimalist gardens.
Classic lamppost
A classic or antique lamppost is usually recognizable by a decorative park lamp, a round or square shade, and a black finish. This look is reminiscent of traditional street lamps and cast iron lampposts, but modern versions are often made of steel or aluminum.
Therefore, anyone looking for a cast iron lamppost is usually referring primarily to the classic design.Always check the material on the product page when real cast iron is a requirement.
For example, view the complete classic 3-meter lamppost with round lampshade.
Modern lamppost
A modern lamppost features a simple black pole and a sleek LED fixture. This version emphasizes functional lighting and combines well with modern facades, concrete, steel, and large paved surfaces.
A square lampshade generally looks sleeker, while a round shade has a slightly softer and more traditional appearance. For this, view the complete black lamppost with square lampshade.
A wooden lamppost gives a natural, rural appearance, but typically requires more attention regarding moisture, maintenance, and installation.In the current assortment on this page, the emphasis is on metal light poles for stable installation and durable outdoor placement.
Which height will you choose?
Choose 3 meters for a garden, driveway, or compact yard, 4 meters for a larger yard or parking area, and 5 to 6 meters for extensive sites. The final height always depends on the chosen fixture, the desired light distribution, and the distance between the poles.
| Height | Suitable when | Check before purchase |
|---|---|---|
| 3 meters | You want to illuminate a garden, driveway, yard, or small parking lot | Glare near homes, foundation position, and beam range |
| 4 meters | You want to illuminate a larger yard, a wide driveway, or multiple parking spaces | Light output, beam angle, and distance to adjacent properties |
| 5 to 6 meters | You want to illuminate a business premises, access road, or large parking area | Lighting plan, foundation, wind load, luminaire weight, and required light intensity |
A taller lamppost does not automatically mean you need a luminaire with the highest wattage.The wattage describes the electrical power of the lamp. The maximum weight a pole can carry is a separate mechanical specification.
For many private applications, the complete 3-meter LED street light is a logical starting point. For larger areas, a complete 4-meter LED street light is also available.
Complete with LED fixture or assemble yourself
Choose a complete set if you want to order a matching combination of pole and LED fixture right away. Assembling it yourself is suitable if you have specific requirements for height, lamp shape, light output, sensor, or mounting.
Complete LED lamppost
A complete LED lamppost combines the light pole and street or park light into a single set.This means you don't have to figure out yourself which tube diameter, adapter, and fixture mount go together.
Our assortment includes:
- Complete LED street lights of 3 and 4 meters
- Modern models with a round or square lampshade
- Solar light poles with an integrated solar panel, battery, and motion sensor
- Versions for gardens, driveways, parking lots, and business grounds
Is there no power connection available at the desired location? Be sure to also check out the solar lighting from LedLoket. A solar lamp post can function without a grid connection, but performance remains dependent on the placement of the solar panel, the season, the weather conditions, and the chosen settings.
Configure your own lamppost
When configuring your own, you need at least a pole, a suitable fixture, the correct mount or adapter, and a safe electrical connection.Always check the following:
- The pole connection diameter
- The fixture connection diameter
- Whether a reduction adapter is required
- The weight of the fixture
- The mechanical load capacity at the chosen pole height
- The voltage and electrical connection
- The IP rating of the fixture and the connection
- The required foundation or anchoring
For the extendable black lamp post from 3 to 6 meters , for example, the specified mechanical load capacity is 20 kg at 3 meters, 17 kg at 4 meters, 15 kg at 5 meters, and 12 kg at 6 meters. These values refer to the maximum physical weight of the fixture and should not be confused with the electrical wattage.
Always check the specifications of the specific pole and the chosen fixture before purchasing. The maximum load capacity may vary per product and height.
Business or large site? Custom light poles
For a large site, it is best to determine the lamp posts based on the dimensions, usage, and desired light distribution. A parking lot, riding arena, homeowners association (VvE) grounds, or access road usually requires a different setup than a private driveway.
Before submitting your request, please map out at least the following information:
- Length and width of the site
- Desired position and height of the masts
- Available grid power or preference for solar
- Use of the site during the evening and night
- Desired control, sensor, or dimming function
- Potential nuisance for residences or surrounding plots
- Subgrade and available foundation
This data helps determine how many masts are required and which LED fixture suits the situation. For commercial lighting, multiple light masts, or a custom configuration, you can submit a lighting project request directly.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a lamppost cost?
A complete LED lamppost at LedLoket currently starts at €163,95 for a 3-meter set with a park light. A comparable complete 4-meter version starts at €179,95 , and modern complete models with a decorative lampshade start at €249.
A separate extendable pole currently starts at €129, , but is supplied without a light source. You will also need to account for the fixture, any adapters, cabling, foundation, and installation. Always check the current price and set contents on the product page before ordering.
Can I install a lamppost myself?
Yes, you can install a lamppost yourself if you have experience with sturdy outdoor mounting and are able to install the proper foundation.De mast moet volledig stabiel, recht en geschikt voor de ondergrond worden bevestigd.
Laat een aansluiting op 230 volt bij twijfel uitvoeren of controleren door een gekwalificeerde installateur. Voor masten van 4 meter of hoger, zware armaturen en locaties met veel wind is professionele montage verstandig. Controleer daarnaast of de meegeleverde ankers passen bij de fundering en ondergrond.
Welke hoogte moet een lantaarnpaal hebben?
Voor een tuin, oprit of compact erf is een lantaarnpaal van 3 meter meestal geschikt. Kies 4 meter voor een groter erf of parkeeroppervlak en overweeg 5 tot 6 meter voor een groot terrein, lange toegangsweg of zakelijke toepassing.
De hoogte alleen bepaalt niet hoeveel licht je nodig hebt. Controleer ook de lumenwaarde, stralingshoek, het vermogen en de afstand tussen de lichtpunten.
Is it lantarenpaal or lantaarnpaal?
Lantaarnpaal and lantarenpaal are both accepted Dutch spellings. Lantaarnpaal is the most common spelling and is therefore used on this category page.
So no worries if you miss an 'n' during your search: a lantarenpaal refers to the exact same product.
Are LED lampposts energy-efficient?
Yes, an LED lamppost is energy-efficient compared to older lighting technologies while offering a comparable light output. The actual energy consumption is determined by the wattage, the number of operating hours, and the configured light intensity.
A motion sensor, twilight sensor, or dimming mode can further reduce consumption as the light does not need to operate at full power continuously.Check the product page to see if the chosen lamppost is dimmable or can be combined with a sensor.
