U Shape LED Bollard Light 12W - IP64 Aluminium Architectural Bollard 160 x 120mm LL 22BL-62-06-BK-WW

The U-shaped form is the reason to choose this over a conventional post — it reads as a piece of architecture rather than a utility fitting, throwing light down through the opening in the frame so the source itself stays hidden and you see the lit ground rather than a glare point. That is a genuinely different effect from a lantern-style bollard, and it suits contemporary paving and hard landscaping. Inside sits an integrated 12W LED in warm white, which is a substantial output covering a wide radius. The aluminium body is rated IP64 — fully dust-tight, which is the rating that matters most in a dusty compound. Compact at 160 x 120mm, so it marks and washes a surface without dominating a bed.

Specifications

Buying guide

Choose a U-shape or open-frame bollard when you want the light without seeing the source — it hides the LED and puts light on the ground, which is more comfortable to walk past than a glowing lantern at knee height. That also makes it a better neighbour in a compound where houses are close. At 12W it is one of the brighter compact bollards, so space them further apart than a 5W fitting and check the spread at night before fixing the whole run. IP64 is the specification to prioritise over cheaper IP44 fittings anywhere dusty. Being an integrated LED, it is sealed and maintenance-free but replaced as a unit at end of life. At 160 x 120mm it is low, so it marks and washes rather than lighting a wide area — for a courtyard or parking bay, the 18W semi-globe is the right tool.

How it compares

Against lantern-style bollards, a U-shape hides the light source and puts light on the ground rather than glowing at knee height. Compared with the disc bollard at the same 12W, that directs light strictly downward from a flat head while this frames it through an opening. Against the 5W bollards, this is more than twice the output. Against E27 bollards, this is sealed at IP64 but cannot be re-lamped.

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of the U-shape?
It hides the LED and throws light down through the frame, so you see lit ground rather than a glare point at knee height — more comfortable to walk past and a better neighbour in a close compound.

How bright is 12W here?
One of the brighter compact bollards, so space them further apart than 5W fittings. Check the spread at night before fixing a whole run.

Can the LED be replaced?
No, it is integrated, which is what allows the sealed IP64 construction. The fitting is replaced as a unit at end of life.
