Department 56 Double Street Lamps Set of 4 — Battery-Powered Village Lamp Posts with Cable Box

These Department 56 double street lamps (set of four) are battery-powered, finely detailed walkway lights designed to add realistic illumination to miniature villages.

Bring authentic street-level lighting to your Department 56 village scenes with this quartet of double-headed lamp posts. Each lamp is molded in durable plastic with sculpted details that mimic classic sidewalk lanterns. They arrive as a coordinated set and include a compact cable box for tidy wiring; use two C batteries (not included) or connect to Department 56 compatible lighting systems for longer shows and synchronized power.

How do these lamps power up and stay lit?

The lamps operate primarily on two C batteries housed in the supplied cable box for cordless placement and easy seasonal set-up. For extended displays or permanent installations you can hook the cable box to Department 56 adapters and lighting systems for steady, low-maintenance power.

• Compatible with Department 56 adapter 56.52206
• Works with Department 56 lighting system 56.53500 for mains power
• Cable box included to centralize battery or adapter connection

What level of detail and materials should I expect?

Each double lamp is precision-molded from sturdy plastic and finished to resemble cast-iron posts and glass lanterns at miniature scale. The paint and texture work emphasize architectural details so the lamps read convincingly in photographed scenes and display vignettes.

• High-quality craftsmanship with fine molded detail
• Durable plastic construction for long-term display
• Painted finishes that complement Department 56 village buildings

How can I place and style the lamps in my village layout?
