Arendal 1 Light Large Bollard - Black

The Arendal is an 850mm tall black bollard light with a rectangular luminaire housing at the head, mounted on a square-section post. The fitting houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately) behind frosted panels that diffuse light 360 degrees around the bollard. The entire structure is built from galvanised steel with a powder-coated black finish, and carries an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water jets from any direction.

Designed for pathways, driveways, garden borders and coastal properties, the Arendal provides wayfinding and ambient lighting at ground level without creating glare. The 850mm height positions the light source below typical eye level when standing, making it suitable for pathway edges where higher bollards might obstruct views across a garden. The square post and head give the bollard a clean architectural profile that pairs well with contemporary buildings and hard landscaping.

The galvanised steel core and powder-coated finish are specifically engineered for coastal environments where salt spray, high humidity and temperature fluctuations accelerate corrosion on standard mild steel fittings. The IP65 rating means the fitting can be hosed down during garden maintenance without risk of water ingress. The E27 socket accepts any standard bulb up to 60W, including dimmable LED bulbs when paired with a compatible outdoor dimmer.

Norlys backs the Arendal with a 5-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects and finish degradation. Installation requires a fixed base plate (supplied) set into concrete or fixed to a paved surface, with cable run underground in conduit to a suitable outdoor-rated junction box or mains supply.

What bulb does the Arendal take?

The bollard takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for pathway lighting. Dimmable LED bulbs are compatible when paired with a suitable outdoor dimmer.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

Yes. The Arendal is built from galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish specifically to resist corrosion in coastal environments where salt spray and high humidity are present. The IP65 rating provides additional protection against water and dust ingress.

How is it installed?

The bollard ships with a base plate that must be fixed to a concrete base or paved surface using anchor bolts. Cable runs underground in conduit to a suitable outdoor-rated junction box or mains supply. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.

Can it be used in a bathroom garden or near a pool?

The IP65 rating makes the Arendal suitable for outdoor zones including those near water features or pools, but it must be positioned outside designated pool safety zones as defined by BS 7671 wiring regulations. Consult a qualified electrician to confirm compliance with local codes.
