Porte LED Bollard Light 7W 3000K - Black Wood

The Porte is a 7W LED bollard light with an aluminium body finished in black wood-effect powder coating, delivering 250 lumens of 3000K warm white light through a 36° downward beam. The IP54 rating protects the internal LED and driver from dust and light water spray, making this suitable for garden pathways, driveway edges, and external patio boundaries where directed ground-level lighting is needed.

Designed for gardens, driveways and pathway edges, the bollard casts a focused downward pool of light that illuminates paving slabs, gravel paths and low planting without creating glare at eye level. The 36° beam angle keeps light concentrated on the ground plane rather than spilling broadly, which suits areas where path definition is the priority over ambient garden lighting. The black wood finish provides a darker, more organic appearance than standard matt black, helping the post blend into garden borders and planted areas during daylight.

The aluminium construction with IP54 sealing protects the integrated LED and driver from rain, garden irrigation and condensation. The LED colour rendering index of 80 CRI is adequate for identifying path surfaces and low-level obstacles in domestic gardens and driveways. At 7W and 250lm, the output level is calibrated for spacing between posts rather than standalone area lighting - most installations use multiple bollards spaced 2-3m apart along a pathway to create continuous lighting without dark gaps.

Energy label

Is this bollard suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Yes. The IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water spray from any direction, which covers exposure to rain, garden irrigation and condensation. The aluminium body resists corrosion in UK garden conditions.

How many bollards are needed for a pathway?

Each bollard creates a downward pool of light approximately 1.5-2m in diameter on the ground. For continuous pathway lighting without dark gaps, space bollards 2-3m apart along one or both sides of the path depending on path width.

Can the LED be replaced?

No. The LED is integrated into the bollard housing and is not user-replaceable. The LED is rated for 25,000+ hours of operation, which equates to approximately 10-15 years of typical evening-only garden use.

What does the 36° beam angle mean?

The 36° beam angle means the light is concentrated into a relatively narrow cone aimed downward, rather than spreading broadly. This keeps light on the path surface and reduces spill onto surrounding planting or into neighbouring properties.
