Arcetra Round Outdoor LED Bollard Light - Grey, 4000K

The Arcetra is a 750mm aluminium bollard light with an integrated LED module casting 4000K neutral white light through a round frosted polycarbonate diffuser mounted on a slim anthracite grey square post. The bollard is rated IP65 against dust ingress and water jets, allowing installation in exposed outdoor positions including driveways, garden pathways, patio edges and alongside building perimeters.

Designed for pathway illumination and low-level marker lighting, the Arcetra provides downward-directed light across a 180mm circular footprint. The 4000K colour temperature sits between warm white and cool white, rendering a neutral tone that works across contemporary residential, commercial and hospitality exteriors without casting the yellow warmth of 2700K or the clinical edge of 5000K. The 750mm height positions the light head at mid-shin level, avoiding direct glare into the eyes while illuminating the ground plane clearly for safe navigation after dark.

The square post is fabricated from die-cast aluminium with a powder-coated anthracite grey finish that resists fading under UV exposure. The minimal form uses flat planes and a recessed head mount to avoid visual clutter in daytime garden views. The bollard mounts onto a concrete footing or fixing plate set into gravel, paving or turf, with the electrical cable run underground from the nearest outdoor junction box or transformer.

What does the IP65 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP65 indicates full protection against dust ingress and resistance to water jets from any direction. The Arcetra can be installed in exposed positions including front gardens, driveways and coastal areas where rain, hose-down cleaning and airborne dust are routine.

Is the LED replaceable?

The LED module is integrated into the fitting and not user-replaceable as a separate component. LED lifespan is typically 30,000-50,000 hours, equivalent to 10-15 years of typical evening use before noticeable lumen degradation.

How is the bollard installed?

The bollard requires a concrete footing or fixing plate set into the ground, with the electrical cable run underground from an outdoor-rated junction box or transformer. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to meet BS 7671 wiring regulations for outdoor circuits.

What colour temperature is 4000K?

4000K is a neutral white that sits between warm white (2700K-3000K) and cool white (5000K-6500K). It renders colours accurately without the yellow cast of warmer LEDs or the blue-tinged clinical appearance of cooler temperatures, making it suitable for contemporary exteriors.
