Imperial is the cast-aluminum cap customers pick when they want a modern look that also stands up to weather and wear. The powder-coated housing resists fading and corrosion, while the integrated solar panel charges an internal battery that powers high-output LEDs at night. With the built-in Dual Color Mode, you can set a warmer, more traditional glow or switch to a crisp, cool white in seconds—handy when coordinating with existing fixtures. Multiple base sizes and adapter options let you keep the same design language across mixed post dimensions without rewiring or repainting.
Choose the model that matches your post: 4" versions typically include a 3.5" adapter for wood posts, there are dedicated 4.5" options for certain vinyl systems, and small-post variants fit select 2"–2.5" metal posts. For 6" feature posts, keep the style consistent with the Cambridge 6"×6" Aluminum Solar Post Cap. If you need to adapt specific 4" PVC-based caps down to 3.5" wood elsewhere on your project, add the 3.5"×3.5" Classy Caps Adapter for a snug fit.
