hofstein Outdoor lamp Kobe, Candelabra in Antique Look, cast Aluminium in Black with Plastic Discs, 3-arm Path Light 230 cm, Retro/Vintage Garden lamp, E27 Socket, IP44, Without Bulb

Very stylish lamppost for the garden.

The arms are difficult to fit. The nuts that hold them in place are about 14.5mm across so no spanner I possess would fit them. As soon as I discovered this I knew the lamp couldn't have been made in Europe. Investigation revealed its origin as PRC.Anyway, having filed the jaws of a 13mm spanner out to 14.5, I then discovered that the threaded stubs that fix the arms are prone to turning as you tighten the nuts - solution - pliers to hold the thread.Fitting the bulbs is impossible for anyone with huge hands like me, my wife had to do that, and you need a very long bladed screwdriver to fit the screws that hold the lids in place.The centre section of the post was missing from my delivery, so my advice would be check that you have absolutely everything before you throw away the packaging. In my case it took 3 weeks to receive the missing section.The assembly instructions don't say what size of concrete foundation you need - I used 500 x 500 x 200mm deep. Neither do they say that any cable run in the ground outside should be SWA (steel wire armoured).Having said all of that, the post lamp now looks fabulous, was well worth all the effort, and I'm very pleased with the finished result.

Very pleased with the lamppost it looks lovley on our front garden have had lots of good remarks from people about it .

Bit difficult to install and wire up unless you are a pro

Lovely lamppost well made worth the money would recommend

NiceLooking lamp

Received this garden lamp and it was packaged ok. However when removing the parts, the centre section of the three was damaged. Given the packing was intact, then this must have been damaged prior to being packed. I’m not happy either with the quality as I agree with the other review that attaching the top housing for the lights isn’t easy with a standard Philips screwdriver. According to the electrician the cable should be about 150mm longer as again it’s tight and fiddly with the connector.What really concerns me is that the description on Amazon says 100w, the fittings, however, say max 60w and the instruction leaflet in the box says 100w. So what should it be? It was bought expecting 100w.I forgot to order bulbs, but pleased I didn’t as I would have bought 100w.Other than these issues it looks quite okay.

Good quality item would highly recommend.
