I plan on installing a new post light in front of my house. I have looked at different post lights but there doesn’t seem to be any instructions on what the height of the post should be from the ground to the top of the light. Also, there are no real suggestions about the placement of the pole from the house to the sidewalk. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
