Stockholm Large Bollard Natural Wood - Silver

The Stockholm Large Bollard is an 850mm tall pathway light combining a galvanised steel frame with a treated pine wood post and horizontal metal louvers around an E27 bulb fitting. The silver-finished steel top and base bookend a natural timber column approximately 120mm in diameter, giving the bollard a mixed-material profile that reads as both industrial and naturalistic depending on its surroundings.

Designed for driveways, garden pathways, and boundary lighting in residential and commercial landscapes, the Stockholm suits installations where coastal corrosion, heavy rain, or salt spray are concerns. The IP65 rating protects the lamp holder and internal components from water jets and dust ingress, while the galvanised steel and treated pine both resist outdoor weathering. The bollard takes any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W (sold separately), allowing users to choose the light colour and output that suits the context.

The horizontal louvers direct light downward and outward in bands, reducing upward light spill and glare while illuminating ground-level surfaces. The pine post weathers naturally over time, darkening from pale yellow to grey-brown unless treated with wood oil or stain. The galvanised steel retains its silver finish under most UK outdoor conditions but may develop minor surface patina in very exposed coastal positions. The combined timber and metal construction gives the bollard a presence that works in both traditional cottage gardens and modern landscape schemes.

What bulb does it take?

The Stockholm takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb between 2700K-3000K for pathway lighting that balances visibility with a natural tone.

Is it suitable for coastal installations?

Yes. The galvanised steel frame and IP65 rating make the bollard suitable for coastal gardens and exposed positions where salt spray and wind-driven rain are present. The treated pine post also resists moisture ingress, though the timber may develop surface greying over time without additional wood treatment.

How is the timber maintained?

The pine post is pre-treated but will weather naturally from pale yellow to grey-brown over 12-24 months if left untreated. To retain the original pale tone, apply a UV-resistant wood oil or exterior wood stain annually. The galvanised steel components do not require maintenance beyond occasional wiping to remove dirt.

What spacing is recommended for pathway lighting?

For continuous pathway lighting, space bollards 3-5m apart depending on bulb brightness. For accent or marker lighting at path junctions or steps, individual bollards can be spaced further apart. The 850mm height suits paths where head clearance and visibility are needed without tall posts obstructing sightlines.
