Default Lamp for Outside lamp post

New to The Villages. Need to replace the lamp fixture that sits on top of the lamp post. Would like to find an identical one since it matches the lamps on the outside of the house. We have the Lilac model. Any advice on where to go? Thanks.

You can find a limited selection at Lowe's and Home Depot. I would recommend avoiding plastic lamp post lights, as the sun will eventually take its toll on them. I suggest calling, or better yet visiting, Electric Supply Inc, (off of 301 in Wildwood) (352) 240-7442. They supply the majority of posts and post lamps that The Villages uses and installs. They have a great selection, and will see to homeowners (not just contractors or wholesale). I've purchased several products from them to use for customers in The Villages.

Call the Warranty Department they have a record for your home and all the individual items as built.

Home Warranty will be able to tell the brand, and in most cases, the exact model. Depending on the age of the home, your mileage may vary. Once you get the info on the specifics (for lamp post lights, outdoor sconces, etc) try the place I mentioned in an earlier post. They can get everything you need, and in most cases, have them in stock. From my experience, they are much cheaper than the lighting supply stores in the area.
