Description
This is a short outdoor bollard that stands 80cm tall on a slim column of 12cm diameter, finished in a warm rust brown that sits happily against brick, gravel and planting. The light source is built in, so there is no lamp to fit or replace, and it draws 7W to give a soft warm white glow. Output is fixed rather than dimmable, so it comes on at one level and stays there.
We would use these in pairs or short runs along a path, a drive edge or the front of a border, where the job is to mark the route without glare at eye level. At this height the light falls low and close, picking out steps, gravel and the first foot or so of planting rather than washing a whole garden. The housing is sealed against rain and hose spray, so it copes with a wet winter and an exposed front garden. It suits anyone who wants the path lit and the planting left dark, and it is one we reach for where a spike spotlight would throw too narrow a beam.
The bollard is double insulated and the driver sits inside the body, so what arrives is one complete unit with nothing to source separately. The rust brown finish is earthy and warm rather than red, and it reads as a garden colour rather than a hardware one. For care, pick a dry day, wipe the column down with a damp cloth, and clear leaves and soil from the base so the lower section is not left sitting in wet mulch; keep abrasives and solvents away from the finish. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same bollard in a sand black finish if you would rather it dropped away against darker paving, and the two mix well along a longer run.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
It produces 740 lumens at 3000K, a warm white that keeps paving and planting looking natural rather than clinical.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
No. It is non-dimmable, so it should be switched rather than dimmed.
Is it suitable for a fully exposed garden?
Yes. It is rated IP65, which covers rain and hose spray, so open paths and drives are within its remit.
What happens when the LED eventually fails?
The LED is integrated with a rated average life of 30,000 hours, so it is not a user-replaceable lamp.
How much space does one take up?
The column is 120mm in diameter and 800mm tall, and each unit weighs 1.8kg.
How far apart should I space them along a path?
Because the light falls low and close at this height, most paths look best with a bollard every couple of metres, staggered side to side if the path is wide.
