I know that the courtyard villas south of 466a have a wall receptacle in the garage that has a gfci device with a push button reset, and the same circuit feeds the lamp post. Unless you are certain, you may want to check your garage wall receptacles. If you don't have the same arrangement, you have an unprotected lamp post, regardless of whether or not you install a receptacle on the post, unless you add some type of gfci device on that circuit. So, a short in the wiring to the lamp could cause a safety problem, even without a receptacle.
