Product Description
Ambience PVC Solar Post Caps — Candle-Effect Warm Glow (4" & 5" Models)
- Signature candle look — Two LEDs create a warm, flickering yellow light reminiscent of lanterns.
- PVC construction — UV-stable white vinyl cleans easily and resists fading/cracking.
- Multiple sizes — Models for actual 4" × 4" and 5" × 5" posts (see options).
- Solar-charged battery — Dusk-to-dawn automatic operation; no wiring.
- Perfect placements — Driveway entries, garden gates, porch rails, and pathways.
Ambience brings a tranquil, lantern-like effect to vinyl fence and deck projects by using two LEDs that mimic candlelight. The soft, yellow flicker reads welcoming along entry walks and across long rail runs without overpowering the scene. Made from UV-stable PVC, Ambience caps are low maintenance: wipe the panel and lens occasionally and they’re ready for another season. Choose the size to match your posts—most homeowners place them at corners, stairs, and approach points, then fill in between for a continuous nighttime line.
If your layout also includes premium aluminum feature columns, keep the aesthetic elevated with the Oxford 6" × 6" Aluminum Solar Post Cap. For 4" square runs that need a more contemporary look or selectable white color temperatures, consider the Imperial Aluminum Solar Post Cap.
