About Illuminated Bollards

Illuminated bollards are a type of street furniture that can really improve an outdoor space’s aesthetics while also providing safety to pedestrians, parked cars, and other road users. Just as good in private spaces as they are in public spaces, bollard lights provide physical barriers and lighting in equal measure, making them perfect for environments in which safety and visibility of your surroundings are important.

Because of their low height (compared to street lights), light bollards can also be used in pathways, alleyways, and parks, where high-level or more powerful lighting might not be appropriate.

Whether installed in car parks, along pedestrian walkways, or around building perimeters and entrances, our range of bollard lighting will perform reliably. Thanks to our range of different materials (stainless steel, wood, recycled plastic, …), styles and lighting options, they can be tailored to your specific needs, use case, and environment. No matter your environment, a lighting bollard will improve the space’s aesthetics and make pedestrians feel more welcome within it.

Solar Powered Bollard lights

Eco-friendly and cost-effective, these bollards use solar energy to power the lights, reducing the need for external wiring and electricity consumption. Solar bollard lights charge during the day and provide illumination throughout the night. They’re perfect for rural locations or areas where electrical infrastructure is hard to install.

Stainless Steel Illuminated Bollards

For high salinity areas such as seaside towns, or near roads that are regularly gritted, stainless steel is a must-have in terms of street furniture. Stainless steel is much more resistant to salt corrosion than other types of metal.

Bollards with Motion-Sensor Lighting

By incorporating a sensor such as heat or light sensors, many bollards will save energy by activating only when it gets dark or when a passerby enters their detection range.

Wooden Bollard Lights

Timber bollard lights offer a warm, natural ambiance to an open space. More sustainable than other forms of lighting bollard, wood blends beautifully into outdoor environments whether they be rural or urban. They provide gentle illumination while maintaining a rustic, organic aesthetic, and are ideal in areas where a natural look is preferred.

What Makes Good Bollard Lighting?

Consider these key factors when choosing the best outdoor bollard lights for your space.

Lighting Angle

The lighting angle is important when selecting illuminated bollards because wildlife like bats are highly sensitive to nocturnal light. Improper lighting, such as upward-facing lights, can disrupt their natural behaviour and reduce their populations. Opting for low-angle or red lighting helps protect wildlife and supports dark skies accreditation, which focuses on conserving natural night environments.

Weather Resistance

Ensure your illuminated bollards are weather-resistant and durable enough to withstand exposure to year-round elements. Check the IP-rating of the bollard to ensure it is waterproof and dust-proof to the required levels. Look for IP65 for the highest level of waterproofing.

Brightness and Safety

The primary function of an illuminated bollard is to enhance visibility and safety. For areas with high pedestrian or vehicle traffic, consider bollards with high-intensity lighting or reflective strips. Low-level lighting can be ideal for more decorative purposes, while brighter options are better suited for high-risk zones.

Energy Efficiency & Impact on the Environment

For long-term sustainability, consider the energy consumption of the lighting. LED and solar-powered bollards are the most energy-efficient options, reducing both operational costs and environmental impact. Motion-sensor lighting also provides energy savings by illuminating only when necessary.
