Bollard Lights and Their Benefits

Written by Cooper Clark | Sep 08, 2023

Bollard lights are versatile, and in this day and age, they're everywhere! Both in suburban and urban areas, businesses and homes use them in several ways to brighten up their landscapes.

What are Bollard Lights?  

Bollard lights are a type of outdoor lighting designed to be both functional and decorative. They are typically installed on walkways, in parking lots, and other areas where people may walk or drive. These lights are commonly used in residential, hospitality, and commercial applications to provide enhanced security, beauty, and ambiance.

Bollard lights are often made of metal or other durable materials and are typically cylindrical in shape. The lights are mounted on a post or bollard, hence the name.

Variations and Sizes of Bollard Lights

Bollard lights come in different styles, finishes, sizes, and colors to provide you with different options that suit your application. Some bollard lights are designed to be more decorative, while others are designed to be more functional.

One of the most popular variations of bollard lights is solar bollard lights. These lights are powered by solar energy, which means that they do not need to be connected to a power source. This makes them ideal for outdoor spaces where there is no electricity available.

Another popular variation of bollard lights is LED bollard lights. LED lights are more energy-efficient than traditional lights and they last longer. This makes them a great choice for outdoor spaces where the lights will be used frequently.

Bollards may have a light source at the top, bottom, or somewhere in between.

There are also different sizes of bollard lights available. Some are as tall as 6 feet, while others are only a few feet tall. We can help you choose the appropriate size for your outdoor space so that the lights will provide the right amount of light and security.

Benefits of Bollard Lights

Here are a few reasons why you should consider bollard lights.

Enhanced Security     

Exterior lighting is known to scare off prowlers aiming to intrude into your premises. With well-lit bollard lights, intruders may be afraid to enter a place they think is occupied and well-guarded and where they could be seen.

Increased Safety

Bollard lights can provide good exterior lighting that will keep your visitors, staff, and customers safe when they are walking or driving in an area that would otherwise be dark. They'll be able to see what's going on and avoid stumbles or other accidents.

Physical Barrier   

One of the main benefits of bollard lights is that they can be used to block cars from driving where
they are not supposed to. They can be used to create a physical barrier that cars cannot pass through, making it harder for cars to drive on sidewalks, bike lanes, and other areas where they should not be.

The Impression Bollard Lights Give Off

Bollard lights are aesthetically pleasing and offer a gorgeous ambiance. They improve your property's overall appearance. Not only will the lights add value to your company while you work there, but also when you decide to sell it. First impressions work wonders, even in the business world. In short, bollard lights increase curb appeal!

They Are Durable  

If you choose to use bollard lights as your outside lighting fixtures, you can expect them to stay on even in harsh weather conditions. The reason is that they are made of long-lasting parts that resist wear and tear. They function in all kinds of outdoor temperatures, which is great for your business's brand even in bad weather conditions. We'll help make sure you get high-quality materials you can rely on.
