Have you considered going deeper in the direction of
doing this yourself?
Either purchasing 4x4 posts and trying to drill
through them (a challenge to keep the drill centered).
There are longer electricians bits, but they are pricey and
might wander out of the 4x4 partway down.
Might try to improvise a drill bit out of a piece of conduit
and a file to make a cutter bit on the end of the conduit?
Another option, getting 2 2x4s, routing out a channel for wire,
then glue, nail or screw them together?
Even just cutting a channel for the conduit on
the surface of the 4x4 might protect it better
than pure surface mount of the conduit.
A router jig and maybe some cleanup with a chisel
to set conduit and plugs/lights or whatever the electrical
wiring is feeding.
Sort of depends on how many posts, how much labor
vs money you have available.
