Tom Did you ever find a 12v post light? I, too, am looking for an affordable low voltage post light -- not the deck style light, but a larger decorative style for brick columns in our front yard. The website you referenced appears to have been sold to another company -- the stock is not the same as before. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Or, were you able to re-fit a regular light? Thanks.

Yes! Those are exactly what I want! Do you think this sounds like a crazy idea for an interior application? Our house is a new old house/ bungalow style with mostly craftsman elements. One of those sites also sold the "arm" hardware separately so maybe another option would be to buy an arm and pair it with whatever type of light I wanted. The only other style that I can think of that might look good would be a lantern type with an open bottom. Thanks.

Tea cats, that second light is the right shape. What I am looking for is that shape, a little more exaggerated maybe (larger aspect ratio of top to bottom) and instead of glass on the top part, that would be solid black. Ideally the lights would have a pier base and be raised on "spider" legs. I'm still looking for a photo I can post. Ann's, I have filtered throuh all the big sites like Lamps Plus and Lighting Universe, also individual companies like Savoy, Progress, Murray Feiss, etc. Those mission lights are nice, outside playing, but they're not the traditional lantern type I am trying to find. Kitchendetective, I had checked Carolina Lanterns and was really surprised not to find exactly what I was seeking. Had not looked at Bevolo until you suggested that one, but they don't have what I am looking for either. I am flummoxed! Many of the post lamps look oddly ecclesiastical ---to me, anyway :) some of the tops of the lights look like flat squashy black velvet vicars' caps and others are bizarrely like birettas and mitres. Mtn, those lights are fab! At this point I am still thinking I am going to find perfect ones somewhere for about $300 (or less, as long as I am fantasizing). I really do not want to spend $800 x 2 although I guess if I found something absolutely perfect, I could talk myself into it. Oakley....you need ESP....then you could have warned me about those roses :( We have two at the front of the house that are doing really well, although they look messier than the other varieties of knockouts, but the other 24 .... Meh.

The only way that could not be a code violation -- and not be potentially dangerous -- is: 1) if the light is low voltage (12V), and the wiring is, too; or 2) that wire is part of the controller for a photocell and the power comes from elsewhere. Can you tell by inspection if that is a regular fixture or low voltage, or if you can see a photocell anywhere?
