Description
A slim outdoor post that puts light where you walk rather than in your eyes. It stands 80cm tall and measures 15cm across, so it reads as a neat column against planting rather than a piece of hardware. The LED sits inside and is warm white, closer to the tone of a table lamp indoors than the cold blue of older garden lighting. The output is modest and deliberately so, enough to mark an edge without flooding a neighbour's window. It runs on a straightforward on and off switch rather than a dimmer, and the driver is built in.
We would use a run of these along a path, a drive edge or the border of a lawn, spaced so the pools of light overlap and the route reads clearly after dark. It is also good at the foot of a flight of steps or beside a garden gate, where there is no wall nearby to light from. Warm white flatters brick, timber and green planting, and the fitting is sealed against dust and splashing rain, so it copes with an open garden through a British winter.
The body is finished in sand black, a matt black with a fine grain to it that hides dust and fingerprints far better than a gloss would. Care is a job for one spring morning: wipe the post down with a damp cloth, clear leaves and grit from the base, and keep the lens clean so nothing dulls the output. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same design in a shorter 60cm height, and the two mix well in one garden: taller posts along the drive, shorter ones through the beds.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it, and what does it draw?
The integrated LED draws 12W and gives 880 lumens at 3000K, a warm white suited to paths, borders and seating areas rather than floodlighting.
Can the LED be changed when it eventually fails?
No. The light source is integrated rather than a replaceable lamp, and it is rated for around 30,000 hours of use, which is many years of evening running.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
No, this one is non-dimmable. It is designed to switch on and off, so pair it with a timer or a photocell if you want it to come on at dusk.
What are the dimensions and weight?
It is 800mm tall with a 150mm diameter, and weighs 1.25kg.
Will it stand up to rain?
It is rated IP54, so it is protected against dust and against water splashed from any direction, which is the usual standard for a garden bollard.
How should I clean the finish?
A damp cloth is enough for the post. Avoid solvents and abrasive pads on the sand black finish, and dry it off rather than leaving standing water on the top.
