To ensure you never intrude
on nature, using green lamp
posts is a failsafe way to
complement
surroundings.
Racing green lamp posts are
a classic colour and have
stood the test of time as an
elegant addition in natural
surroundings but also as a
sophisticated colour that could
enhance the tones in
brickwork or wood facades of
buildings. Such is their
appeal; it means that the
fixture will have great
longevity wherever it is
situated.
A traditional hurricane
lantern
or ‘gaslight’ lantern refers
back to earlier times yet is
still in keeping with
contemporary looks except
perhaps for the most über
post modernist environment
surroundings. A feature of
many of the lamp posts is
the ‘
hanging’ facility
on the
rods and branches of the
light, which could be used to
display a house number,
business name or a hanging
basket so another practical
purpose is fulfilled apart from
illumination.
Lights that are attractive yet
unobtrusive can be used as a
fixture for creating a powerful
image you may wish to
convey about a property.
First
impressions are exceedingly
important to any visitor, or
passer-by, which could be
significant when
considering ‘kerb appeal’ if
selling a residence or setting
the tone of expectation for
business clients to premises.
Think about the function of
the lamp post and choose a
height that will best suit your
purposes and position it
appropriately for illumination
and safety optimisation. If it is
to be placed near a driveway
make sure there is still
enough turning space for the
vehicle and that opening
passenger or boot doors is
still easily achieved. |
