Effective Bollard Lighting For Your Home.
Bollard lights are available in a variety of styles, finish and lamp options. You need to think about how the light will be used for example a small garden pathway, the main driveway or to illuminate steps etc. If you are within 20 km of the coast you should think about using the Wooden, Copper, Iron, Brass or Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel. Some bollards have built in LED modules which generally offer lower levels of light (lumens) than a standard LED GU10 lamp. Also, it is likely the LED module is a sealed unit and an integral part of the bollard which cannot be replaced if it fails meaning you will have to purchase a complete new bollard. There are bollards that use GU10 LED lamps and E27 base LED lamps. The spacing of bollards will depend on the type of bollard, louvre design, height and lamp output etc but a general rule of thumb would be no less than 3 metres and no more than 12 metres apart. The shorter distance would be for garden pathways and the longer distance for long driveways or car parks.
The C-POL surface mounted bollard is made from aluminium and powder coated with an anthracite finish and comes with a highly polished reflector to provide glare-free illumination from the incorporated grid. It is suitable for use outdoors thanks to its IP44 protection class. The bollard stands 90cm tall and the base diameter is 17cm. The top diameter is 12cm. Ideal for simple traditional style bollard lighting.

Car Park Bollard Lighting
The ‘LEDifice’ is a professional, commercial LED root mount bollard light. It has a specially designed taller head in order to accommodate high output LED bulbs. The LEDifice is perfect for installations that need a high level of light perfect for car park lighting. Ideal as amenity lighting for larger, commercial or public areas such as car parks or buildings. We include a replaceable 20W LED Corn Bulb for optimum brightness.
The Professional ‘In-Ground’ Root Mount System gives extra security and stability. The tubular bodies of Root mount bollards are different to standard types. Extended tubes allow at least 400mm to be concreted in-ground, without losing any height above ground. A strong mounting bar inside the tubular body acts as an anchor when set into concrete. There is an optional secure cable outlet. This allows easy wiring after the bollard is fixed in place.
