Most pier mount lights provide a flat pier/base mount for installation on pillars or columns, and many models are also designed to fit atop a 3" outside-diameter post—so you can choose between pier-mount and post-top placement depending on your installation.
Pier mount lights are sold as hardwired electric fixtures that require household wiring and as solar-powered models with an integrated solar panel and replaceable battery pack that require no electrical wiring. Product listings should state which power option applies—verify before purchase.
Many pier mount fixtures accept the standard E26 (medium) base, and some accept the smaller E12 (candelabra) base. Listed compatible bulb types include incandescent, CFL, and LED—check the product details to confirm the supported base and bulb type.
Listings describe a range of protections, including IP44 waterproof ratings, generic weather-resistant or weatherproof descriptions, wet-location (wet-rated) listings, and rust-resistant finishes. Check the specific product listing for the exact rating and suitability for your location.
Common heights in the results range roughly from about 14.25 inches up to 22.4 inches, with widths roughly from 7.09 inches up to 14.0 inches—covering compact to taller pier-mounted fixtures. Always verify the listed dimensions before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
Some listings include a bulb (for example, an included LED bulb), but many state that bulbs are not included. A few fixtures list built-in dusk-to-dawn sensors or automatic dusk-to-dawn operation—review the product details to confirm whether a bulb or sensor is included.
