Grottazzolina LED Bollard Light - Black & Opal

The Grottazzolina is an LED bollard light in textured black aluminium: a slim rectangular column, ribbed along its full height, with an angled head that holds an opal plastic diffuser. It stands 80cm tall, 16.2cm long and 15.5cm wide, tall enough to light a path without looming above the planting. The LED is integrated and gives 1,400lm at 3000K, a warm white that suits the outside of a home. With an IP65 rating it is protected against dust and jets of water, so it can stand outdoors in the garden through every season.

Set a pair along a garden path, either side of the approach to a front door, beside a driveway or at the edge of a patio. The angled head faces the diffuser towards the ground, so the light falls across the paving where people walk and the way to the door is easy to see after dark. By day the ribbed black body looks architectural and quiet, and it sits comfortably beside modern cladding, gravel, stone paving and planting. Because the profile is clean and rectangular, several bollards set in a row look neat and even along a longer route.

Aluminium does not rust, which matters for a light that stands outside through wet winters. The textured black finish has a fine, slightly grainy surface, and the opal plastic diffuser hides the LED and softens its glow. The bollard weighs 1.38KG and carries Energy Class C. There is no switch on the light itself, because it is switched at the wall, so it is controlled from a wall switch of your choosing. As a wired-in mains light it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download to share with them beforehand.

Can the Grottazzolina bollard stand outdoors in the rain?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust and jets of water, so it can stand in a garden, beside a path or along a driveway through every season.

How bright is the light, and what colour is it?

The integrated LED gives 1,400lm at 3000K, a warm white that lights a path clearly while keeping a homely feel outside the house.

How tall is the bollard?

It stands 80cm tall, 16.2cm long and 15.5cm wide, and it weighs 1.38KG, so it sits low beside a path rather than towering above the planting.

Does the bollard need a replacement bulb?

No bulb is needed. The light source is an integrated LED, built into the head behind the opal diffuser, so there is no separate lamp to buy or change.

Does the bollard have its own switch?

No, there is no switch on the bollard itself. It is switched at the wall, so it is controlled from a wall switch rather than at the light.

What material is the body?

The body is aluminium in a textured black finish, ribbed along its height, and the diffuser in the angled head is opal plastic. Aluminium does not rust, which suits a light that lives outside.
