EVOLEC 450 mm & 750 mm Polycarbonate Bollard Light

The EVOLEC Polycarbonate Bollard Light is an outdoor bollard for lighting garden paths, driveways, patios and borders. It comes in two heights, 450 mm and 750 mm. Both heights share a 201 mm diameter base. The body is high-impact, UV-stabilised polycarbonate with a matte black finish. It is rated IP65, so it is protected against dust and water jets. It runs on 240 V mains and takes one E27 (Edison Screw) lamp up to 100 W. The lamp is not included. The ribbed diffuser spreads light through 360°. It is CE certified and comes with a 2-year warranty.

Specifications

Where to Use It

• Garden paths and borders, using the 450 mm height.
• Driveway entrances and edges, using the 750 mm height.
• Patio perimeters and deck steps.
• Pool surrounds, where the IP65 rating protects against splashes.
• Private homes, apartment complexes, hotel courtyards and business entrances.

Installation and Care

• Mount on a firm, level surface such as a concrete pad, paving slabs or compacted gravel, and secure the base plate with anchors (not included).
• For lower running costs, fit a 10 W to 15 W LED lamp, which gives light similar to a 100 W halogen.
• Choose a warm white lamp (2700K to 3000K) for a softer light, or daylight white (5000K) for a whiter light on paths and planting.
• Wipe the diffuser with a mild soap solution from time to time and check the seals once a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the EVOLEC polycarbonate bollard light waterproof?
A: Yes. It is IP65 rated, which means it is dust tight and protected against water jets from any direction. It suits gardens, driveways and pool surrounds in Irish weather.

Q: Which height should I choose, 450 mm or 750 mm?
A: Choose 450 mm for low-level path and border lighting. Choose 750 mm for driveway entrances and larger areas. Both heights use the same 201 mm diameter base.

Q: Does the bollard come with a bulb?
A: No. It takes one E27 (Edison Screw) lamp up to 100 W. A 10 W to 15 W LED lamp gives light similar to a 100 W halogen and costs less to run.

Q: Do I need an electrician to install a bollard light?
A: Yes. It runs on 240 V mains and needs an outdoor cable run, so in Ireland it should be connected by a registered electrician. The base is fixed with anchors, which are not included.

Q: Will the polycarbonate crack or go yellow?
A: It is made to resist both. The body is high-impact, UV-stabilised polycarbonate that stands up to knocks and resists UV yellowing.

Q: What colour is the EVOLEC bollard?
A: Black. Both the 450 mm and 750 mm versions have a matte black finish.
