Viritis Outdoor LED Bollard Light 12W 4000K - Anthracite

The Viritis is a 1m tall outdoor LED bollard light built from powder-coated aluminium with an anthracite finish, housing an integrated 12W LED light source at 4000K neutral white. The light casts downward through a transparent glass diffuser panel, providing path illumination without upward glare. The bollard carries an IP54 rating, protecting the internal components from dust ingress and water splashes from any direction.

Designed for residential driveways, garden pathways, patios and commercial landscaping, the Viritis suits hard-surface installations where a permanent ground-fixed bollard is needed. The 85mm square footprint allows the bollard to fit between paving slabs or be mounted into poured concrete bases. The 600mm cable run from the base of the bollard gives flexibility for connecting to external junction boxes or armoured cable runs buried in the ground. The 4000K colour temperature provides neutral white light that renders colours accurately without the warm yellow cast of 3000K or the cooler blue tone of 5000K.

The anthracite powder coat finish over the aluminium extrusion provides corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance surface that minimises daytime visual impact in modern garden settings. The square-section column design gives the bollard a geometric profile that pairs with contemporary architecture and hard landscaping. At 1m height, the Viritis sits below typical eye level for standing adults but provides sufficient height to light a path effectively without needing to space bollards excessively close together. The 12W LED output is factory-fitted and non-replaceable, with Ideal Lux backing the integrated LED with a 5-year warranty covering both the light source and the housing.

What does the IP54 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP54 means the bollard is protected from dust ingress (the '5') and from water splashes from any direction (the '4'). It will handle rain, garden hose overspray and general outdoor moisture, but it is not designed for full submersion or high-pressure washing.

Can the LED be replaced when it fails?

No. The 12W LED is integrated into the bollard and is not user-replaceable. Ideal Lux backs the integrated LED with a 5-year warranty, and LED light sources at this specification typically provide 25,000-30,000 hours of operation before degradation.

How is the bollard installed?

The bollard requires a ground-fixed mounting, typically into a poured concrete base or between paving slabs with a buried junction box. The 600mm cable run from the base of the bollard connects to external-rated armoured cable or junction boxes rated for outdoor use. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK wiring regulations.

What spacing is recommended between bollards on a pathway?

For a 1m-wide path, spacing of 3-4m between bollards is typical when using 12W LED sources. Wider paths or areas requiring higher illumination may need closer spacing or additional bollards. The downward light distribution means the Viritis does not provide significant lateral spread, so spacing depends on the desired light level and path width.
