Question 1

What height should an LED bollard be?

Accepted Answer

In residential gardens and small paths, bollards from 30 to 50 cm usually offer discreet lighting close to the ground. For wide paths, models from 60 to 100 cm provide greater coverage and visibility. The choice depends on the width of the route, the presence of vegetation and the required light level.

Question 2

How many metres apart should they be placed?

Accepted Answer

On paths, a spacing of approximately 2 to 4 metres usually works well to achieve visual continuity. If the bollard is taller or has greater luminous flux, the distance can be increased. In areas with steps or changes in level, it is advisable to reduce the spacing to improve safety.

Question 3

What IP rating is needed?

Accepted Answer

For gardens, entrances and paths exposed to rain or irrigation, it is advisable to choose bollards with IP65. In semi-covered areas, IP44 may be sufficient if the luminaire does not receive direct water. In addition to the IP rating, it is worth checking materials, seals, screws and base stability.

Question 4

What wattage is suitable?

Accepted Answer

In gardens and residential routes, wattages between 5 W and 10 W are usually sufficient if the light distribution is efficient. In wide entrances or professional-use areas, wattages from 10 W to 40 W can be used. More than watts, it is advisable to assess the lumens, bollard height and beam direction.

Question 5

Is warm or neutral light better for bollards?

Accepted Answer

Warm light from 2700 K to 3000 K is the most recommended for gardens, terraces and residential areas because it creates a more comfortable atmosphere. Neutral light at 4000 K may be suitable on paths or in professional spaces where greater detail perception is needed. Cool light is used less in gardens because of its more technical effect.

Question 6

Do LED Bollard Lights cause glare?

Accepted Answer

They can cause glare if the LED source remains visible or if the luminous flux is excessive for the installation height. To avoid this, it is advisable to choose models with downward emission or controlled optics. On paths and seating areas, visual comfort should take priority over intensity.
