It essentially is a heavy duty post light, sometimes used as a barrier that prevents cars from entering into a certain outdoor space.

Often, they aren't used as barriers at all but as a convenient way of providing commercial outdoor lighting for open spaces.

Bollard lighting is an excellent source of outdoor security lighting because of it's low stature. You can use it to guide people along a certain path towards an entrance or exit.

5 things to look for in your Bollard Lighting

 

  • It must be sturdy and durable. Your bollard must be constructed with a strong housing. Installation by a professional may be necessary to keep the fixture from being compromised by rough use.

  • It must be resistant to corrosion. Bollard lighting is going to be in direct contact with whatever nature throws at it so it must be able to withstand the abuse.

  • It must be tamper proof. A tamper proof bollard light will help to deter any unwanted theft from taking place. Special hardware should be used in installation as a preventative measure.

  • Your bollard lighting must provide adequate lighting. It should be able to produce enough light for it's surrounding area so that your guests can see beyond the immediate path. It makes people feel a sense of safety and security.

  • It must contain an impact resistant lens. An impact resistant lens will prevent vandalism or theft of expensive HID bulbs.

 

 

Since bollard lighting is in direct contact with the general public, it must stand up to the demands of it's environment. Incorporating bollard lighting in your commercial space can make it easier to get around.
