Description
The Hinvette is a mains bollard light for the garden: a tall square post in a black finish, topped with a flared, rounded head that sits over the light and sends it down towards the ground. It stands 100cm tall on a flat base plate, with a footprint 12.5cm wide and 10cm long, so it reads as a slim upright line rather than a bulky post. The body is aluminium and steel, with a clear glass shade within the head. It takes a GU10 lamp at 4.6W, giving 400lm, and carries an IP54 rating, which means protection against dust and splashing water, so this bollard belongs outdoors in a garden or beside a path.
We would set a pair or a row of these along a path, the edge of a driveway or the border of a patio, where the downward light picks out the paving and the planting beside it. The plain black finish sits quietly against stone, render, brick or timber, and suits a modern garden as comfortably as a traditional one. At 400lm per post, this is a light for finding your way and setting a calm evening mood rather than floodlighting the whole garden, which is exactly what most paths and borders need.
There is no switch on the post itself: it is switched at the wall, so a run of bollards can share one switch with your other outdoor lights. As a wired-in mains light running at 220-240V, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Packed, it weighs 1.589KG, so it is easy to carry to its spot in the garden. If you are lighting a long path, plan the spacing first so that each pool of light meets the next.
