PARTPHONER Black Roman Outdoor Lamp Post, Triple Head Aluminum Street Light Post for Outside, Waterproof Pole Lighting Fixture with Water Glass for Backyard Garden Patio Driveway

Assembly was fairly easy with the exception of mounting it.It's a little vague.Suggestion here, use 3 bags of quick cure concrete and a concrete form if you want it perfect, otherwise, just dig out your hole 18" wide and 24" deep.The only this bad about this item is the concrete anchors that came with it, not very good!Go to your hardware store and get the heavy ones they sell.It assembled easy, I attached a plug instead of hardwiring.It looks very nice, once mounted, with the right anchors, it's extremely sturdy.You're getting your money's worth out of this!

Bought as a replacement for a single light pole lamp for the entrance from my driveway to the house it was very easy to put together and install it and it provides so much more light in the same space very good looking and great quality of materials

Here’s some pointers from my installation that maybe useful for others: This replaced an existing lamp post that was hot wired to the house. I mounted the post on a new concrete base using a 12” round concrete forming tube. I placed the tube on a paver broken in two halves to provide a solid base and help with leveling. Irrigation pipe was used to feed the house wire through the new base. I spliced 12 gauge wire to the house supply using a waterproof connector (you can find these on Amazon). Make sure you have the max amount of threads showing when installing the three studs into the concrete. The instructions says 1 3/4”. I went for 2” plus for two reasons: if you have to shim the base to make level and to ensure a secure mount you will need locknuts (not supplied) and lock washers the dome nuts are okay for a neat finish but do not have sufficient strength characteristics to secure the post. When putting the upper part of the post together it helped to mark the sensor black wire which attaches to the black supply line because it tends to get lost in the large bundle of wires from the lamps which are crammed into the small tube. If you hook up the incorrect black wire one of the lights will automatically come on and you’ll literally have to dismantle the entire post to correct. I finished by silicone around the base to prevent water from getting to the post live connection which lays on the concrete inside the post base. I turned the post away from the house to prevent the dusk to dawn sensor being influenced by house lighting. It looks and works great!

It pains me to give a low review, because my new light is VERY attractive, now that it works. However, the installation came with pains and frustrations, and the immediate replacement of the outlet caused extra frustration, extra expense(!), and a lot of angst at home while my wife watched the look on my face. I had the same issue that is found in most of these 1-star reviews: the GFCI outlet quit working right away (mine worked for exactly 1 day!), and therefore the lights wouldn't come on.1. The initial installation was a bit of a problem, although I am very experienced with assembly, electricity, plumbing, and all other home-ownership tasks. The instructions are written poorly (or perhaps the *translation* is the problem), and some steps do not match the drawings associated with those steps. Further, you'll find this process easier if you happen to have petite fingers, which I do not: the wiring and washer/nut attachment of the three light "arms" to the center post is time-consuming and somewhat frustrating. The wires must be fed and the screw-on washer/nut fixtures must be threaded inside the post, where the dusk-to-dawn sensor already consumes much of the available space. It is a very tight fit. Just these steps required maybe an hour or more.2. As others have commented, the expansion bolts (for the concrete base) and the various nuts and cap-nuts are of low quality. I'd recommend checking all male & female thread dimensions (e.g. with a "Thread Detective" or the like) before ever starting this job. You might save a lot of time and frustration if you have extra, better matching hardware before starting.Before reading #3, note that I wired carefully, and I used better-quality wire-nuts than were provided. Plus, I wrapped all connections with electrical tape to avoid any possibility of arcing/shorts.3. My light worked and, luckily, the dusk-sensor DID allow the lamps to come on. But the very next day, nothing worked. The outlet's RESET button would not push. I traced the electricity with a non-contact voltage sensor ... success for 75 feet, until midway up the post to the location of the outlet. Removing the outlet is a bit of a hassle, as it has (of course) substantial caulk/sealant around the assembly, along with a weather-proofing gasket. The gasket hides a couple of the screws required to remove the outlet. The gasket also can't be re-used because there's no way to remove it without destroying it. After more than an hour of removal & clean-up, I headed to the hardware store to replace it. NOTE: My pole light is already hooked to a dedicated GFCI circuit, so I can use a non-GFCI outlet. That's $6-$8, plus silicone caulk/sealant and replacement gasket material, and my total cost was maybe $25 above the initial cost of the light (assuming I work for free). But if you need a rated GFCI replacement -- which you must if you're not protected by a GFCI circuit breaker -- then just the cost of the outlet will be $25-$28, plus your associated materials. The replacement gasket material I purchased was maybe .5mm thicker than the initial layer ... so, the outlet cover wouldn't close. I had to redesign the waterproofing, and honestly I'm careful about the cosmetic aspect (I want it to *look* good), so it took even more time.OK, with all of that on the table, I'll say this: I think I WILL purchase one or two more of these for our property, but ONLY because I now know what to expect. The finished product looks beautiful (in its price-range). But unless you're experienced with these tasks on your own -- without hiring it out -- I'd urge you NOT to buy this one. It will cost extra $$ and it will frustrate the bejeepers out of you!Robin LOwego, NY

I love the look of the lamp posts so I bought 3 of them! I haven't got them installed outside yet but I'm sure they will meet expectations. The instructions lacked details but were fairly easy to put together until it came to mounting the lamps on the center section. The large black nuts they supplied do NOT fit onto the threaded tube for the secondary support for the lamp heads. I finally decided (after fighting with the black nuts) that it was much easier to just replace the nuts with new ones from a lamp parts store. The news ones spun on easily and is well worth the extra couple of dollars. I am anxious to get them outside to light them up. We'll worth the money.
