Default Concrete work...

Looking for some opinions here....

I have to install some lamp posts along my driveway before winter and am wondering how large of a sonna tube I need to put into the ground? I am thinking a 4 or 6 inch, sink it down a good 4 feet and fill it with cement. That should put me down below the frost line and still give me a good base for the lights? Plan on putting a 5 or 6 foot steel post on top of it (lagged into cement) with a 3 light top. It won't be real heavy on top from what I can figure. Any thoughts?? Anyone have better ideas than using the cemented sonna tube?
