Description :
Lighting bollards are a type of fixture used for architectural outdoor lighting. It typically gives off light from the sides or the top and comprises of Shor; upright ground mounted units. For smaller streets and park paths where large-scale illumination is unnecessary, a ground level pathway lighting is offered with the help of a series of bollards. As the bollards are continuously exposed to the elements of nature, many use borosilicate lens, which keeps the weather out without obscuring the lamp itself.
For areas that require large-scale illumination, typically an HID lamp such as high-pressure sodium or metal halide is used. To cut- off the excess glare, a special reflector is used to direct the light down onto the surrounding ground.
It grants clear illumination without blinding pedestrian and motorists thus also reducing the city’s light pollution to some extent. Unlike the traditional bollards, the newer ones use LED and CFL light kits. They have become more popular due to better lifespan and energy costs.
