Lamp Post Mounts Category Overview
The Lamp Post Mounts category, identified by the numeric ID 7447, sits within the Lighting Accessories hierarchy. This category is specifically designed for outdoor fixtures intended to be mounted on posts or piers to provide garden or walkway illumination.
What Belongs in This Category
This category includes fixed outdoor lighting structures designed to be installed atop a post or pier mount. Examples identified from the US market include:
- Outdoor LED street lights and pathway lanterns
- Solar-powered post lighting units
- Hard-wired garden post fixtures
- Traditional decorative post lantern heads
- Modern aluminum pier-mounted light units
These products are intended to serve as the primary light housing mounted directly to a vertical post support rather than being suspended or mounted to walls.
What Does Not Belong Here
Products that do not fit here should be categorized under the appropriate neighbouring categories within the Lighting Accessories group. Specifically, lamp shades go under Lamp Shades, while programmable light controllers belong in Lighting Timers. If you are selling the physical support structure or base without the light fixture, use Lamp Post Bases. Additionally, any fuel-based lighting products or accessories, such as oil lamp fuel, must be placed in Oil Lamp Fuel to ensure proper data classification.
Implementation in Your Feed
You may provide either the ID 7447 or the full path 'Home & Garden > Lighting Accessories > Lamp Post Mounts' in the google_product_category attribute. While this attribute is optional, providing it improves classification accuracy compared to Google's automated assignment, though it does not replace the merchant-defined product_type field.
