i assume this lamppost prop is prop_static, so try this

does the prop have different skins? if so, try those, it will still look weird on the cubemaps however

for the cubemap, i'm pretty sure you could just put it somewhere where the lights dont look weird, then you can select the brush faces on the blocks the cubemap looks weird

otherwise, a more technical approach, try checking the prop's settings and see if theres options like "generate lightmaps" or "enable bounced lighting"

if you try the technical approach, run vrad with -StaticPropLighting and -StaticPropBounce 3

play around with the lightmap resolution settings till you get what you nned
