The National Electrical Code requires the use of ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) outlets outdoors.* Does the item you are considering
from mrosupply.com contain a GFCI?* The listing doesn't explicitly say
so.* Don't risk electrocution!

I have 2 almost identical post lamps. I say almost because one has an
outlet/cover just under the lamp fixture, the other doesn't. My wife
uses said outlet at Christmas to put some greenery/lights around the
post. On the other one, I just added an outdoor outlet box about 6 or
so inches from the ground. It has an outlet and an in-use cover. The
whole circuit is on a GFCI breaker. I wish the one with the included
outlet was in-use, but in 10 years of Christmas, no false trips. Maybe
the light fixture just above it provides enough of an "umbrella" to stop
it from getting wet.
