Bollard lights

Bollard lights - Stylish path lighting with function

Bollard luminaires structure the outdoor area and create a harmonious lighting pattern. They illuminate paths, driveways and garden areas in a targeted manner and help to avoid tripping hazards. At the same time, they provide safety and orientation at night - ideal for anyone returning home in the evening or expecting visitors.

Why bollard luminaires are indispensable

Dark outdoor areas quickly appear unwelcoming. A lack of lighting creates uncertainty. Particularly in the darker months of the year, the risk of accidents increases due to unlit paths, steps or edges. Bollard luminaires provide a targeted solution to this problem. They mark clear lines and create a pleasant lighting atmosphere. Practical use meets attractive design.

What are bollard luminaires?

Bollard luminaires are compact luminaires that are usually between 30 and 120 cm high. They stand freely in outdoor areas - along footpaths, driveways or around the garden. Unlike wall lights, they do not require a solid base on the house. They are fixed directly to the ground or to a foundation. Their light generally shines downwards or sideways - glare-free and efficient.

Areas of application - flexible and well thought-out

Bollard luminaires adapt to almost any outdoor area. They are particularly popular in:

• Garden paths: As path lights, they guide you safely from A to B without unnecessarily illuminating the garden at night.
• Driveways: They show drivers the boundary - without dazzling them.
• Patio edging: They create a stylish backdrop of light on the patio for balmy evenings.
• Access paths to house entrances: Guests find their way and feel welcome.
• Courtyards and carports: For better visibility and orientation.

Thanks to their versatility, bollard luminaires can be perfectly matched to the respective surroundings.

Bollard light: form meets function

From minimalist to classic - bollard luminaires are available in countless variations. Modern models focus on clear lines, dark colours and integrated LED technology. Classic versions combine round shapes with nostalgic charm. Models with a wood or stone look are ideal for rustic gardens. Stainless steel is also popular - timeless, robust and easy to clean.

Materials with resistance and a variety of colours

Outdoor lights have to withstand a lot. That's why high-quality bollard lights are made from weatherproof materials such as

• Stainless steel: corrosion-resistant and elegant
• Die-cast aluminium, aluminium: lightweight, robust and durable
• Plastic with UV protection: colour-fast and easy to clean
• Glass: for decorative lighting effects and even light distribution

In addition to the choice of material, colour also plays an important role - both for the design and for integration into the surroundings. Bollard lights are available in many modern and timeless colours. Grey is particularly popular:

• Grey - neutral and discreet
• Black - elegant and high-contrast
• Anthracite - modern and stylish
• Brown - ideal for natural gardens and rustic environments

Thanks to this selection, every bollard light can be harmoniously integrated into the overall look of your outdoor area - regardless of whether it has an urban, modern or natural design.

Weatherproof thanks to a suitable protection rating

Bollard lights are used outdoors all year round - in rain, snow, heat or frost. To ensure that they function reliably, they require a suitable protection rating (IP protection class). This indicates how well the light is protected against foreign bodies and moisture. At least IP44 should be selected for outdoor use. It protects against splashing water from all directions and solid foreign bodies larger than 1 mm. Higher classes such as IP65 or IP67 offer even better protection - ideal for exposed locations or garden areas with high levels of moisture. If you want to be on the safe side, pay attention to high-quality workmanship and tested seals. This keeps the technology inside dry - and the light ready for use.

Technology that inspires

Light sources: Modern and durable

Today, bollard luminaires rely almost exclusively on LED technology. This light source impresses with

• long service life
• high energy efficiency
• good quality of light
• immediate light without a warm-up phase

The light colour varies between warm white (for a cosy atmosphere) and neutral white (for functional lighting). Some models even allow the colour to be changed using a switch or app.

Sensor control: light only when it is needed

Some bollard lights have motion detectors. These react to people and only switch the light on when needed. This increases safety - without constant power consumption. Models with a twilight sensor are also popular. They switch on automatically at dusk and switch off again in the morning.

Installation and placement - what matters

Stability is crucial

Bollard lights require a solid base. For secure installation, we recommend a concrete foundation, a mounting plate on solid ground or a sturdy ground spike. The latter is particularly suitable for soft ground such as lawns or flower beds. This makes installation quick and flexible - without any concrete work. In any case, horizontal alignment is important in order to create a uniform light pattern.

The right distance

A common mistake: too few lights or too great a distance. The rule of thumb is

• every 2-3 metres for paths
• every 4-6 metres for driveways
• Individual placement for accents in the garden

This creates a uniform light pattern - without dark spaces in between.
