Description
The Stockholm Small Bollard is a 280mm galvanised steel post light with a layered metal shade and opal glass diffuser, finished in silver. The E27 socket accepts bulbs up to 60W (sold separately), and the IP65 rating provides full dust-sealing and water ingress protection from all directions, making the bollard suitable for exposed pathways, driveways, gardens and coastal locations.
Designed for pathway marking and perimeter lighting in residential, commercial and hospitality settings, the bollard casts light downward and outward through the horizontal gaps in the shade, creating pools of illumination at ground level without upward glare. The 165mm diameter footprint allows the bollard to be positioned close to path edges or bed borders without dominating narrow planting schemes. The galvanised steel construction resists corrosion in salt air and carries an 8-year guarantee from Norlys.
The silver finish sits between the cooler tone of polished stainless steel and the warmer tone of brushed aluminium, pairing comfortably with both grey-toned contemporary paving and warmer sandstone or gravel surfaces. The multi-layered shade creates horizontal shadow lines when lit, adding visual interest after dark. The opal diffuser softens the bulb filament or LED point source, preventing harsh shadows and glare when walking past the bollard at eye level.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take?
The bollard takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for pathway lighting that matches residential garden schemes.
Is it suitable for coastal areas?
Yes. The galvanised steel construction resists corrosion in salt air, and Norlys specifies no coastal exclusion zone for this fitting. The IP65 rating provides full protection against water ingress from rain and spray.
How is it installed?
The bollard requires mains wiring run underground in conduit or armoured cable to the base, where the cable enters through a gland. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671 wiring regulations.
What spacing is recommended for pathway lighting?
Spacing depends on bulb brightness and path width. For a typical 1.2m-wide path using 8-10W LED bulbs, bollards placed 3-4m apart provide continuous illumination without gaps. Closer spacing creates overlapping pools of light for higher visibility.
