Taking a stroll at nighttime is a great way to get some exercise after dinner and allows you to see your neighborhood at a different time of the day. Looking at homes from the street or sidewalk can give you an appreciation for some of the landscaping choices of your neighbors and lets you pick up on some ideas for your own home. One aspect of exterior lighting that you may pick up is a post light fixture. Placing a light on the top of a post, such as a fence, gate, or going up the stairs to a house, allows the homeowner to shine lights on their entire landscape and area that they want to highlight. By adding that kind of lighting to your own home, it will become a pleasant part of your neighbors’ evening walks, as well as your own when you come back. We’ve taken a look and listed five of our favorite options for post light fixtures. Check them out.
