I really like the look of the lampposts that klonan made for his Concrete Lamppost mod https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Klonan/Concrete_Lamppost
However I tried to arrange the lampposts as pictured in the second image of the information section and found that it never really arranged themselves in that orientation.
I would like to know if its possible to make the same entity but where we can choose its orientation by making it rotatable?
Is it possible to make the Lamppost Mod by Klonan rotatable?

I think you can rotate whilst placing, but not after they are placed. This is because the mod doesn't currently (last time I checked anyway) listen to the on_player_rotated_entity event. As long as the graphical sprites exist, it should be easy to update the mod to allow rotation both during and after placement.
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

If they did i could fairly easily make the poles rotatable - But since they can't, i don't consider it worth solving
