Q:

Can a do-it-yourselfer install the lamp posts or do I need to hire an electrician?

 

There are two ways to order and install our lamps:

1.  

We can supply with basic 3-prong plug that you run to your house. This is good if you want to try different locations before settling on a final one.

 

2.  

The post comes pre-wired for 120V. Use underground protected tech cable - buried 18" deep and marked. Connect to house switch.

 

NOTE: Always obey local electrical codes.
NOTE: If you do not know how to work with electricity, hire an electrician

Q:

Are the lamp posts CSA approved and tested?

 

We are currently in the process of obtaining CSA approval. Presently, our lamp posts are inspected by the Electrical Safety Branch of the BC Minister of Municipal Affairs for proper operation and approval of code. Further documentation is available upon request.

Q:

What is the lead time and how are they delivered?

 

Standard lead time for Victorian, Victorian Holland, and Victorian New Holland is 3-4 weeks. Broadway, Broadway Holland, and Broadway New Holland lead time is 6-8 weeks.
NOTE: Options, colours, and quantity ordered may change lead times, ask our representatives. We ship the lamp post crated via 3rd party freight to anywhere in BC, FOB Parksville B.C. Please ask us about freight rates.

Q:

Are custom colours and designs available?

 

Standard colors are White, Black, and Green but any colour is available, ask our representatives for a custom quote. All surfaces are treated with high quality powdered coating for a finish that will last for years.
If you have a specific design in mind for the lamp post base, we can design a pattern (which you would then own) of almost anything your imagination can come up with.
Examples include cowboys, dragons and orchard trees. Pattern charges vary - let us give you a quote.

Q:

What are your products made from?

 

All our products are made from recycled aluminum. The metal grade is carefully monitored to make sure our exact specifications are met..
