Outdoor Bollard Lights

FAQs

What types of environments are best suited for bollard lights?

Bollard lighting is used in both public and private outdoor spaces. They provide light throughout the winter months, evenings, nights and early mornings and are used to light up exits and entrances, driveways, pathways and car parks.

We stock post and bollard lights with a variety of useful features, including dawn sensors and photocell and emergency output options, so you're never without outdoor light when needed.

What are the benefits of bollard lights?

Safety

Bollard lights cast a bright and even light across your outdoor spaces. This prevents trips and falls, highlighting any potential obstacles in your way. A fantastic option for public spaces such as car parks, building entrances and pathways, as well as private areas such as gardens and decking, bollard lights guide people towards key areas, making navigating an outdoor area at night a breeze.

Security

Bollard lights reduce the risk of theft or damage to property by deterring thieves or vandals and help people to feel safe when they are moving around outside in a well-lit space.

Outline boundaries

Post and bollard lights are a stylish and effective way to outline boundaries between paths, parking areas, gardens and driveways. This makes it safer for cars and pedestrians to move around at night and creates a border that is both stylish and practical.

Ambience

Garden bollard lights can highlight water features and trees, while bollards in public areas can highlight architectural features and sculptures, creating a welcoming space that feels safe and makes a good impression on visitors. Bollard lights are available in a range of colour finishes including stainless steel, black and anthracite for a stylish and contemporary feel when the lighting is on or off. A range of colour temperatures are available, including warm white for a soft and cosy ambience.

How far should bollard lights be placed?

There is no hard and fast rule for placing bollard lights. It depends on the type of use and the quality of ambient light. But as a general rule of thumb, they should be no closer than 1.5 metres together and no further than 3 metres apart.

Are bollard lights an energy efficient option for outdoor lighting?

Our brilliant range includes LED bollard lights. LED bulbs are renowned for their energy-saving properties and long lifespan compared to traditional lighting options. LED lights require less energy for bright light output, saving energy and helping to keep energy bills low.

How should bollard lights be maintained?

To keep your bollard lights in perfect condition, clean them regularly with soap and water, or pressure wash for built-up dirt and debris and inspect the light bulbs regularly for any signs of dimness, wear or tear.

Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for specific information on how to maintain your post and bollard lights.
