Gloara 60cm Outdoor Bollard Light - Grey

The Gloara is a 60cm outdoor bollard light with a cylindrical grey powder-coated metal body and a white plastic diffuser that directs light downwards onto pathways, driveways and garden borders. The bollard houses four G9 bulbs (sold separately) behind the diffuser screen, which softens the output and prevents direct glare while maintaining useful ground-level illumination.

Designed for UK residential gardens, patios, pathways and commercial landscape installations, the Gloara carries an IP44 rating making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions where rain, splashing and dust are present. The 60cm height positions the light source at mid-shin level for pathway marking without obstructing sightlines across a garden or patio. The 205mm diameter head distributes light in a controlled cone that illuminates approximately 1-1.5m of path width depending on bulb choice and spacing between bollards.

The grey powder-coated finish is applied over the metal body to resist UV degradation, corrosion and chipping in outdoor conditions. The coating provides a neutral mid-grey tone that sits comfortably in both contemporary minimalist gardens and traditional landscaping schemes without dominating the visual composition. The bollard installs onto a ground spike or surface-mounted base plate (installation method depends on ground type and local building requirements) and connects to mains voltage outdoor-rated wiring buried in conduit or ducting.

The four-bulb configuration allows higher lumen output than single-bulb bollards while maintaining the compact 205mm head diameter. G9 bulbs are available in LED, halogen and filament options from 2W to 40W equivalent, giving flexibility to balance energy consumption against brightness requirements. Dimmable when paired with compatible G9 LED bulbs and an outdoor-rated dimmer on the circuit.

What bulbs does the Gloara take?

The bollard takes four G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately). Most users pair this with 2-4W G9 LED bulbs in 2700K-3000K for path lighting. The maximum wattage per bulb depends on the bulb technology — consult bulb packaging for heat output and compatibility.

Can it be installed on any surface?

The Gloara can be mounted onto a ground spike for soft ground (grass, soil, gravel) or onto a surface-mounted base plate for hard surfaces (paving, concrete, decking). The mounting hardware required depends on the installation surface and local building code — consult a qualified electrician for hard-wired outdoor installations.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

The IP44 rating and powder-coated metal construction provide resistance to rain and splashing, but salt spray in coastal environments can degrade powder coating over time. For coastal installations, check the coating annually and touch up any chips to prevent corrosion underneath.

How far apart should bollards be spaced?

For continuous path lighting, space bollards 3-4m apart using 3-4W G9 LEDs, or 4-5m apart using higher-output bulbs. The 60cm height and downward-focused diffuser create overlapping light pools when spaced at these intervals.
