Black Aluminium Garden Bollard Light 650mm with Smoked Glass and E27 Holder - IP44 LL 22BL

Smoked glass is the detail that makes this bollard comfortable at close quarters. Clear glass at bollard height puts a visible bulb in your eyeline as you walk past; smoked glass tints and softens it, so you get a warm glow rather than a bright point — the same reason smoked lenses are used on garden lighting where people pass within a metre. It also looks considerably more expensive than clear plastic. The proportions are unusual and useful: 650mm tall but only 90mm wide, a slim column that lights a path from above low planting without the visual bulk of a wider bollard, which suits a narrow border. Aluminium in black, IP44 rated, with an E27 holder so you choose and replace the bulb.

Specifications

Buying guide

Diffuser tint matters more at bollard height than anywhere else, because the fitting sits in your field of view as you walk. Smoked glass softens the source into a glow, clear glass shows the bulb, and frosted sits between — choose smoked or frosted for a path people use, and clear only where the fitting is not passed closely. The slim 90mm width is worth noting: it suits a narrow border or a tight path edge where a wide bollard would crowd the planting, and at 650mm it still clears low ground cover. The E27 holder means bulbs are cheap and replaceable, though it also explains the IP44 rating rather than the higher figures on sealed fittings — in a very dusty compound the IP64 bollards seal better. Use an LED bulb, check the maximum wattage, and space these 2 to 3 metres apart.

How it compares

Against clear-glass bollards, smoked glass softens the source into a glow rather than showing the bulb, which is more comfortable on a path people pass closely. Compared with the 600mm and 800mm E27 bollards, this is slimmer at 90mm wide, suiting narrow borders. Against sealed integrated-LED bollards at IP64 and IP65, those seal out dust better but cannot be re-lamped. Against a solar bollard, consistent brightness but wiring is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Why smoked glass?
At bollard height the fitting is in your eyeline as you walk past. Smoked glass softens the source into a glow, where clear glass shows the bulb as a bright point.

Is 90mm wide too slim?
It is an advantage in a narrow border or tight path edge where a wide bollard crowds the planting, and at 650mm it still clears low ground cover.

Why is it only IP44?
Because an E27 bulb aperture cannot be sealed as completely as an integrated LED. In a very dusty compound, the IP64 bollards in this range seal better.
