Arendal 1 Light Medium Bollard - Black

The Arendal is a 490mm black bollard light built from powder-coated galvanised steel with an IP65 rating for full outdoor weatherproofing. The single E27 bulb sits inside a frosted acrylic diffuser housed within a clear outer glass box, creating two layers of light dispersion that soften the output and reduce glare at eye level.

Designed for pathways, driveways and garden perimeters, the Arendal provides functional ground-level lighting to mark routes and steps after dark. The 490mm height positions the light source at mid-shin level, making it suitable for paths where taller bollards would obstruct sightlines or where a lower profile fits the landscape better. The IP65 rating means the fitting is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, so it handles coastal spray, garden irrigation and heavy rain without deterioration.

The galvanised steel core gives corrosion resistance in coastal and high-humidity environments, and the powder-coated black finish provides a matt surface that blends into darker paving, gravel and lawn edges. The bollard accepts any standard E27 LED or filament bulb up to 60W (sold separately), allowing control over colour temperature and brightness. Most users pair the Arendal with a 6-10W warm-white LED for pathway marking or a brighter 12-15W bulb where perimeter security lighting is needed.

What does IP65 mean for this bollard?

IP65 means the fitting is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. It will handle coastal spray, garden irrigation and heavy rain without water ingress. The galvanised steel construction adds further corrosion resistance in high-humidity and coastal environments.

What bulb should I use?

The Arendal takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. For pathway lighting most users choose a 6-10W warm-white LED (2700K-3000K). For brighter perimeter or security lighting a 12-15W LED provides more output. Bulbs are sold separately and must be rated for outdoor use if not fully enclosed by the fitting.

How is it installed?

The bollard requires a power cable to be run underground to the installation position, typically in 20mm conduit buried at least 450mm deep. The bollard base is then fixed to a concrete foundation or ground spike depending on soil type. A qualified electrician should handle the installation to ensure IP integrity and electrical safety.

Can it be used in coastal locations?

Yes. The galvanised steel core and powder-coated finish are designed to resist corrosion in coastal environments where salt spray is present. Norlys backs this with a 5-year guarantee covering material and finish defects.
