Brillix 100cm LED Bollard Light Grey 4000K IP54

The Brillix is a 100cm tall outdoor LED bollard light with a grey powder-coated metal body and an integrated LED light source emitting 4000K neutral white light. The angled head directs illumination downwards and forwards, casting light onto pathways, driveways or paving without spilling upwards into adjacent windows or creating glare. The IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making the bollard suitable for year-round outdoor use in exposed positions.

Designed for pathway edging, driveway borders and perimeter lighting around residential and commercial properties, the Brillix mounts directly to a concrete base or paving slab via a base plate with fixing holes. The 100cm height keeps the light source above typical ground-level plants and provides enough throw to illuminate a 1.5-2m path width when spaced at 3-4m intervals. The neutral grey finish blends into most contemporary outdoor schemes without competing visually with surrounding planting or hard landscaping.

The integrated LED cannot be replaced but carries a rated lifespan of approximately 25,000-30,000 hours, equivalent to around 8-10 years of dusk-to-dawn use via a photocell or timer. The 4000K colour temperature sits between warm white and cool white, providing enough clarity for safe navigation along paths while avoiding the clinical tone of higher colour temperatures. The bollard is non-dimmable and designed for constant-on operation during darkness hours.

What does the IP54 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP54 means the bollard is protected against dust ingress (limited, not dust-tight) and water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for pathways, driveways and gardens but not for areas subject to direct high-pressure water jets or full submersion. It handles rain, irrigation overspray and typical UK weather conditions.

Can the LED be replaced when it fails?

No, the LED is integrated and not user-replaceable. The LED is rated for approximately 25,000-30,000 hours of use, which translates to 8-10 years of dusk-to-dawn operation. After this period the entire bollard would need replacing.

How is the bollard mounted?

The bollard has a base plate with fixing holes for mounting to a concrete base, paving slab or similar solid surface. Installation requires a suitable outdoor-rated electrical supply brought to the mounting point, typically via underground armoured cable or conduit.

What spacing is recommended for pathway lighting?

For a typical 1-1.5m wide residential pathway, spacing the Brillix bollards at 3-4m intervals provides continuous illumination without dark gaps. For wider driveways or commercial paths, reduce spacing to 2.5-3m or install bollards on both sides of the path.
