Tall post!

[MalcyB]

Hi All.

Can someone suggest what would be best used to mount two floodlights (on the top), and a waterproof double socket (down below), obviously outdoors.? I did consider fence a fence post but I don't think it would be tall enough?

It needs to be tall enough so the floods are out of reach.

I am struggling to find something that would be suitable.

Any ideas would be good

Thanks

Malc

Hi Malc,

Im sure someone will come up with a better idea but how about a scaffold pole , fix lights with either U bolts or a piece of channel U bolted to pole or maybe if you want to go the whole nine yards......

I was going to suggest the same thing,

scaffold pole.

or 5m unistrut.

You'll probably find both scaffold & unistrut will wobble quite a lot!

What is the application in a little more detail?

Can you not use a lighting column?

 

[steptoe]

Unless you use some overkill I think most things will wobble a bit once you get to 4m .

How tall are people around your way? 3 meters would be higher than any normal person could reach......

It is to be sited close to some dog kennels. The post will have the two floods on the top, to come on when they go to feed the dogs at night. There needs to be a socket at the bottom to run a jet washer. A stand pipe will also have to be installed. I just want to get it to look right and meant to last and not look like a bodge.

get a light post/column. you can get brackets for the top that will take 2 floods (or more if you wanted)
