Dover DC 3-Light Seedy Glass Outdoor Post Light, 21 to 25.5 in tall, Bronze, by Maxim

The Maxim Dover DC outdoor post light is a mediterranean fixture for a driveway entrance, a front walk, a garden gate or a lawn. It is 21 to 25.5 in tall and 10 to 12 in wide, with 3 lights, in Bronze.

Fit E12 Candelabra bulbs (40W limit per socket); buy them separately. For an entry, a 2700K to 3000K LED lamp reads warm and keeps glare off the street. A wet-location listing means rain and sprinkler spray will not harm it. Seedy glass softens the light and hides the bulb from the street. The Bronze finish suits Mediterranean and Traditional exteriors.

Where it works best

Set a post light 3 to 4 ft back from the edge of a driveway or walk so cars and mowers clear it, with the top of the lantern about 7 to 8 ft above the ground. Along a long drive, space posts 25 to 30 ft apart; at a gate or a front walk, a post on each side frames the entry.

Who this is not for

Bulbs are sold separately. It is a hardwired fixture, so it needs an outdoor-rated junction box; it does not plug in.

Why we carry Maxim

We carry Maxim because the line covers traditional, transitional and modern schemes with consistent finishes across chandeliers, pendants, sconces and vanity lights, so one family can light a whole floor.

Care and installation

Rinse off salt, pollen and cobwebs a few times a year and wipe with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners on the finish. Have a licensed electrician wire it. Assembly sheets: 3021 (PDF), 3022 (PDF).
