Green Lamp Posts - Lamp Posts

When something becomes a ‘classic’ it is for very good reason. A green lamp post uses a colour that enhances and harmonises with natural surroundings just as easily as it does with the contrast provided in the exterior of many building structures.

Concrete, bricks, stone or glass are quite at home with this soothing colour and its erect shape also can provide a landmark, which could be helpful when giving directions.

The designs of lamp posts, especially the ‘ traditional’ ones have stood the test of time with their elegant symmetry and clean lines that add to the practical considerations of its construction. Tall, slim and shaped for easy cleaning maintaining this design is easy of ever re-painting or cleaning is required. Liquids can run down its surface easily and prevent any build up of stagnant water that might attract unwelcome smells, debris bounces off its post so it is very often naturally refreshed by a shower of rain and ordinarily requires no further maintenance.

The perpendicular column, topped with a decorative lantern provides lighting that can simply be for decoration or it can be a beacon to show the way for pedestrians or traffic along a path or drive when visibility conditions are poor such as fog or darkness.

As such it illuminates an area safely and apart from making any hazards visible it also allows visitors, wanted or unwanted, to be seen by householders indoors or onlookers or passers-by outside. It is an ideal security measure in a subtle addition to any landscaping of a property.
