Arlington GPLN19BR Gard-N-Post 19.5 in. Fixture Support Post, Bronze
Brand: Arlington | SKU: GPLN19BR
Product Overview
Mount a compatible outdoor light where you need it in a garden bed, beside a walkway, or near a patio with the Arlington GPLN19BR Gard-N-Post. This bronze support post gives a three-wire fixture a threaded mounting point without requiring a nearby wall.
The 19.5-inch post has built-in stabilizers to help hold it in the soil and an angle-cut lower end that allows access to underground wiring. Its nonmetallic reducing bushing accommodates a compatible 1/2-inch NPT fixture; the post's 3/4-inch NPT opening provides the other mounting option. Choose it for a fixture-support installation rather than an outlet post.
Key Features
- UV-rated plastic is suited to outdoor exposure.
- Molded-in bronze color avoids a painted finish that can chip away.
- Built-in stabilizers help support the post; openings allow additional support material where needed.
- Angle-cut bottom helps provide access to underground wiring.
- Installed access-panel cover and gasket provide access for electrical connections.
- Nonmetallic reducing bushing supports the specified three-wire fixture application.
Common Uses
- Supporting a compatible three-wire landscape light in a planting bed.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Use a three-wire outdoor fixture with the specified NPT mounting connection. The GPLN19BR has a nonmetallic bushing and is a different selection from the GPL19BR model with a metal grounding bushing. Do not substitute a two-wire fixture or copy the grounding arrangement from another Gard-N-Post model.
Plan the fixture position, soil support, underground wiring route and access-panel clearance before installation. Keep the panel accessible for service, and use the stabilizer openings for additional support when the installation requires it. A qualified installer should complete the outdoor electrical connections and grounding with the power off, following the fixture instructions and applicable requirements.
The GPLN19BR is a fixture support, not a complete lamp, transformer or GFCI outlet post. Confirm the fixture's mounting and support requirements before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which light fixtures fit the GPLN19BR?
The GPLN19BR is designed for three-wire outdoor light fixtures with 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch NPT mounting threads. Use the installed nonmetallic reducing bushing for a compatible 1/2-inch NPT fixture.
Is the bronze color painted on?
No. The color is molded into the UV-rated plastic rather than applied as a painted surface finish.
Is 19.5 inches the installed height above the ground?
No. The 19.5-inch measurement is the overall post height. The exposed height depends on how the post is installed and buried.
Does it include a light fixture or an outlet?
No. The package includes the support post, nonmetallic mounting bushing, access-panel cover and gasket, and two mounting screws. The light fixture and electrical wiring are separate.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose the GPLN19BR when you need a bronze, low-profile support specifically for a three-wire outdoor fixture. Its nonmetallic reducing bushing fits the specified 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch NPT mounting arrangement, while the built-in 7-1/8-inch stabilizer footprint helps you plan the installation space. These details make it a more precise choice than selecting a post by height or color alone.
