Bollard & Post Lights
Our bollard lights are extremely effective in lighting up those shadowy paths that lead up to your garden, your garden itself, your driveway, your swimming pool, your dark hedges and basically every gloomy corner that it can find.
It’s especially effective in distributing light evenly all across the space because of the height of our post lighting.
Our driveway bollard light fixtures are available in different heights and widths, so you can pick whichever suits you best. These bollard lights are thick, strongly built and very durable.
LED Bollard Lights can make a nice understated alternative to a large imposing garden lamp post. Their height means they can be fairly well hidden but still giving illumination to your garden or driveway.

How Bright Do My LED Bollard Lights Need to Be
Exterior bollard light fittings are as bright as any other kind of LED light. Generally speaking, one watt of LED light is the equivalent of 80-100 lumens.
- A 3 watt LED shines a light that is equivalent to a 25-30 watt halogen light bulb
- A 5 watt LED shines a light that is equivalent to a 45-50 watt halogen light bulb
- A 9 watt LED shines a light that is equivalent to a 60 watt halogen light bulb
It is important to choose a garden bollard light wattage that is compatible with what you want to use it for. For instance, if you want to light a garden at night, you’d want to choose a lower wattage for a softer light. On the other hand, bollard lamp fixtures installed in a car park may necessitate brighter lights with a higher wattage to light up more of a space.
What IP Rating Should My LED Bollard Lights Be?
IP ratings, or ingress protection ratings, indicate the level of protection that certain lights have against damaging outside factors. This refers to debris like dust and moisture. The first digit in an IP rating refers to protection against solid objects, while the second digit refers to protection from liquids.
Because illuminated bollard lights are exposed to the elements, garden lighting needs a minimum rating of IP44. Different locations experience different types of weather, and your light’s protection should reflect that. Even so, if you can, try to find external LED bollard lights that are IP65/IP67 rated, as the waterproof nature will provide you with peace of mind.
- Level 1 – this level offers protection against dripping water
- Level 2 – this level offers protection against dripping water when it is tilted at 15 degrees
- Level 3 – this level offers protection against any spraying water
- Level 4 – this level offers protection against any water splashes
- Level 5 – this level offers protection against water jets
- Level 6 – this level offers protection against powerful water jets
- Level 7 – this level offers protection against immersion as deep as one meter
- Level 8 – this level offers protection against immersion at depths deeper than a meter
Can You Install Bollard Post Lights Yourself?
Driveway bollard lights, like any other light, requires working with electricity. Because of this, it is unsafe to try and install them yourself. Enlist the help of a professional electrician to ensure proper installation and avoid any risk of bodily harm.
LED bollard lights are lights that are upright and stout, shining illumination from the tops and sides. They are used for decoration as often as they are for practical purposes, such as security and driveway bollard light applications.
Advice on How To Maintain LED Bollard Lighting
To ensure your exterior bollard lights are working properly, it is important that you take the time to maintain them.
Routine Cleaning
You should regularly wipe down the bollard light fixtures to remove any dust or debris from their surfaces. Do so by using a dry, soft cloth or a can of compressed air. If you notice any stubborn stains or caked-on debris, using mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge may be more effective.
Look for Damage
When you’re doing your cleaning, stop and look for any discoloration, cracks or other visible damage. Seek out signs of wear and tear, and remedy any issues you may see.
Now is also a good time to check that the outdoor garden bollard lights are working as intended. Keep an eye out for flickering or dim lights.
Fixing Common Problems
Dim or flickering lights could be caused by faulty connections or wiring. It could also be an issue with the bulbs. Look for the source and take care of it right away by replacing the broken elements and getting an electrician out to look at the bulbs if in doubt.
Keep an eye out for water in the bollard light fixture in the form of condensation. To take extra measures to prevent this, seal up any gaps using waterproofing materials.
Prevent corrosion altogether by choosing illuminated bollard fixtures with rust-resistant materials and further protect them with anti-corrosive sprays. This is especially important in humid or salty coastal environments.
Long-Term Maintenance
On occasion, you’ll want to lubricate the moving parts like joints or hinges. This will prevent stiffness which could ultimately lead to cracks. Lubricate fixtures using silicone-based formulas for best results.
Seasonal Care
In the wintertime, you can protect bollard lights from frost by using anti-frosting agents. You should also be sure the lights have proper drainage so that no melting snow or ice causes damage.
