How would you attach a light to the top? And can this be used with a metal round post?

To attach lamp on top, you must a round base lamp. This can secured with tension screws included in the lamp kit. You should be able to slide the Portsmouth post over the existing metal lamp post. Snug the new post to one side of the post and attach with screws. Hope this helps....we were well pleased with the end results. Feel free to contact me again Scott

make sure you have a light fixture that fits over the round top of the post. Wire to the existing wire in you're old post and fasten with 3 small stainless screws, you do not have to tighten to much. Thats it!!!

You attach the light at the top with 3 screws. If you're asking whether the PVC post can be installed over a metal round post, then no. It has to be installed over a partially buried wooden 4x4. We sunk our 4x4 into concrete. Hope this helps.

with self tapping sheet metal screws and can be used on a round metal post also.

Lights with a round base will fit onto the cap. Then there are three screws included that you use to attach the light to the cap. You don't need a metal post. But a 4 x 4 post is required for the inside for rigidity. Does that answer your questions?

I did what the directions said and fixed my own lantern to the top with stainless screws. i used a wood post for the center but i do not see why you would not be able to use the round post. I would pre drill the metal post so you can attache to hold it square and in place. hope this helps

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

It will work on any post, but you will need to purchase an additional post most adaptor since the bottom of the lamp. Check link below for example. http://www.lowes.com/pd_358617-1811-PB-01MBK_1z0zai9__?productId=3531110&Ns;=p_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&pl;=1

These LED lights come with a small plastic bracket that you can use two way tape or screws. I was suggest screws, but may need to use a self tapping screw or a pilot hole.

This is meant to be mounted on a pole with your fixture attached to the top. I don't think that it would work.

Hi Cathy. I have to admitt that I have not yet had the post installed or taken it out of the packaging. I am awaiting an electrician to install it. If you are referring to a hole or holes near the top end of the pole to secure the lighting fixture, I don't believe this model has any. I have another post in my yard that is many many years old and the fixture fits securely down over the post without need for screws or other attachent. I would think that if a hole is needed to secure a fixture one could easily be drilled with an ordinary driller and bit. Hope this helps!

you could just drill a hole or mount it on the ceiling. would look for a different light. I ordered three and two of them came broken. very cheaply made. the light mounts were broke. did not want to send them back. I had to use epoxy to repair them and now they are no longer adjustable.

It is designed to be attached with screws to a wall or post etc. I do not think it was intended to be used as a hanging fixture!

It is very light weight so I attached mine with a push pin. If you are going to put fairy lights on the top, I would use one of those screw in hooks.

don't see why not as long as you don't have a fancy cap on your post. you will hace to use screws to hold the light on and there are screw holes in the base of the light.

Probably, it's a standard mounting square. Don't expect the light to last more than a few days. You'd be better off with an led lantern on a hook.

either will work. I used the screws provided but temporarily used the adhesive to hold the light in place while I installed the screws.

I would suggest pipe hangers at Lowe's or somewhere like that. They will go around the pipe and have a flat surface with a hole to mount the light to.

The light is made to mount around a circular pole it has hose clamps to tighten around a piece of pipe. You could use smaller hose clamps to tighten it around something with not as big a diameter as a flag pole. Hope this helps.You

Theirs a hole in the top to fasten the light with a screw. That's what I did on my deck.

I have a 4" o/d metal post, round, and it fit real good. But I recently purchased a electric lamp, because the solar lamp did not generate enough light at night.

If the clamp is mounted on an upright post, the light will go horizontally over your area to be lighted--which would be fine in almost all circumstances because of the swing allowed by the lamp itself. Your ability to attach it to the post may or may not cause problems, depending on the post.
