The E27 bulb sits inside the cylinder behind an opal diffuser panel that runs the height of the louvre section, casting light horizontally through the gaps while the stainless steel rings control glare and direct illumination downward onto pathways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for driveways, garden paths, patios and coastal installations where salt spray and moisture are present, the IP44 rating protects the bulb chamber from splashing water and windblown dust. The 102mm diameter footprint allows the bollard to be placed close to path edges without blocking walkways, and the 240mm height keeps light low to the ground, preventing uplighting into bedroom windows or creating light pollution. The bollard fixes to concrete pads or paving using the base flange with four fixing holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarine-grade 316 stainless steel resists corrosion better than standard 304 steel in coastal and high-humidity environments. The brushed finish on the metal hides fingerprints during installation and weathers more uniformly than polished stainless steel. The bollard accepts any standard E27 bulb up to 40W (sold separately), allowing buyers to choose warm-white LEDs for softer path lighting or cooler daylight LEDs for security applications. The 10-year guarantee covers material defects and corrosion failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb(s) Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 Year Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight Adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulb does the Sandbanks bollard take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bollard takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers use a 5-8W LED in warm white (2700K-3000K) for pathway lighting, or a cooler 4000K LED for security applications on driveways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the IP44 rating sufficient for coastal locations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP44 provides protection against splashing water and dust ingress, which is adequate for most UK coastal gardens and driveways. The marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction is the key factor in coastal durability, as it resists salt-spray corrosion far better than aluminium or standard steel bollards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the bollard installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base flange has four fixing holes for bolting to a concrete pad or paving slab. The electrical cable runs up through the base into the bollard chamber. A qualified electrician should connect the bollard to outdoor-rated armoured cable or conduit from the mains supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the light distribution pattern?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three horizontal louvre rings allow light to spread horizontally through the gaps while the stainless steel rings shield direct upward glare. This creates a soft wash of light on the ground within approximately 1-1.5m radius of the bollard, depending on bulb brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Zone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45655800054027,"sku":"GZ-SANDBANKS-MB","price":168.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/gz-sandbanks-mb_84f245cb-7abf-4b73-b5ed-d14a315dec03.jpg?v=1721831856","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/sandbanks-1-light-mini-bollard-240mm-brushed-stainless-steel","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
