A clever streetlamp riser from event product developer Meese Orbitron Dunne Co. (MOD), La Mirada, Calif., raises the height of the company’s antique streetlamps by 3-1/2 inches and increases the diameter of its platform base to nearly two feet for enhanced dramatic appeal and extra stability for outdoor events. Ideal for use in weddings, photo shoots, set decorating, theatrical productions and other events where fully functional, decorative lighting or thematic period props are required, the lamp post riser helps accommodate changing weather conditions without changing the layout of the lighting, décor or props. Available in a choice of colors to match the color and style of the corresponding antique streetlamp, the lamp post base comes in White as standard and in Sandstone, Blackstone, Granite and Millstone at a 10% premium plus in custom colors in quantity.

The streetlamp riser is rotationally molded in one piece from 100% polyethylene for load bearing strength, impact resistance and durability. The stability base is also waterproof and weatherproof and may be placed outdoors seasonally or for long-term installation without substantial fading or discoloring.
