Solar Victorian style pole light/street light

Hi Guys, Does anyone have one they can recommend, or know where I can get one please. I would like to place on in the garden but I cannot get power to where it would go without ripping the place to shreds.

If you want a decent reliable one then wired is the option.
Solar will work but not in Ireland unless you connect it to a massive battery set to hold through the winter.

When you say ripping the place to shreds you mean lifting concrete?

They're a green credential gimmic.

If you want reliability build a large upgradable centralised system and connect loads to that.
