Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bollard light?
A bollard light is a short, freestanding post fixture, typically 1 to 4 feet tall, used to light walkways, landscapes, plazas, and building entrances. At pedestrian height, bollards provide wayfinding and safety lighting without the glare of taller poles.
How tall are bollard lights?
Most landscape and pathway bollards are roughly 1 to 4 feet tall. Lower bollards accent planting beds and path edges, while taller bollards light walkways and commercial entrances. Choose the height for the scale of the space and the spread you need.
Where are bollard lights used?
Bollards are common along pathways and sidewalks, in landscapes and courtyards, at building and parking entrances, and on campuses and commercial sites where pedestrian-scale lighting improves safety and wayfinding.
What should I look for in an outdoor bollard?
Look for a wet-location rating, a durable corrosion-resistant finish for the environment, the optic distribution you need (symmetric or one-sided), color temperature, and whether it offers options like photocell or surge protection for reliable outdoor service.
