Solar Pillar Lantern, Cast Aluminum - Glass Lenses, 3" Fitter Pole

Our Gama Sonic Colonial Solar Pillar Lantern is a wonderful mix of traditional Colonial and Mission style design. It is made from Black powder coated cast aluminum, with Rain Glass lenses, and has a 3" fitter pole that can be placed on any standard 3" pole. The integrated geometric floral pattern on the lamp head adds a distinctive flair to this solar pillar light during the day.

The Colonial solar post light is ideal for converting your electric fixtures to solar. With the built-in 3" pole, in most cases you can removed the electric fixture, cap off the electricity, and place this solar post light directly onto the existing pole from your electric fixture. So easy, and so energy efficient, with no further cost of electricity to light your entrance.

This solar coach light should be installed in a sunny location that received 5 to 6 hours of sun each day. It will look great at your driveway entrance and your front entrance, plus illuminate your home for security and safety.

You can choose the amount of light duration you want by switching from Low mode, for up to 18 hours of light, to High mode for up to 14 hours of light at night.

The Colonial solar lantern has a Solar Powered Light Bulb, with Surface Mounted Diode (SMD) LED bulbs, that looks like a traditional electric light bulb fixture. The solar lantern has 11 Warm White LED that emit 120 lumens of light on the high setting.

If you want to have a brighter light, you can click on the Bright White LED Bulb Option that will emit around 150 lumens of light for an additional $23.00. You will still receive the Warm White LED Bulb, so you can switch the bulbs out based on your lighting needs during normal activities vs. parties.

Pole and Pillar Ease of Installation:  With the 3" fitter pole feature, you can install the Colonial solar pillar light easily onto your existing driveway entrance pillars, your courtyard columns, or the beautiful brick and stone pedestals that have an existing 3" pole. As long as the column or pillar is in a sunny location and has a standard 3" pole, place the Colonial solar coach light's 3" fitter pole over the existing pole, and use the included hardware to secure it safely to your existing light pole.

Pole Light Conversion from Electric to Solar:  Since most pole yard lights have 3" poles, this Colonial solar column lantern will install so easily by removing the existing lantern and locating your new coach lantern into the same pole opening.
