Bollard lights are outdoor lights that are enclosed in cylinder shaped posts. Those posts were originally all in a cylinder shape but today these lights are also created in square shapes. Bollard was the name of the posts where you tied the boats when you came to dock. They are made of metal, concrete or weather resistant plastics.
These lights are designed to resist corrosion from any seasonal elements. The units are capable of being set up for electrical wiring or battery operated or solar energy. Depending on where you want to place the post will determine the best way to have it operate.
The lighting elements are usually on the tops of the units. To protect them from the elements they are covered with lattice slats or grates. Have the light from the unit be positioned in various ways. They can be pointed directly at a particular structure or a whole area. They could light a pathway in the back yard. Lining them up the steps to your front porch would be inviting to family and friends.
Some units are designed to be attached to standing structure while most are place directly on the ground. Usually our backyards can be pretty dark let these lights line your sidewalk to the storage shed like an airport runway or a gravel path to the beautiful stone waterfall you created one summer so you will be able to fully enjoy your yard both day and night.
Use them as barriers in your front yard. Fill them with sand to slow down vehicles that may have made a wrong turn. It will give you a better sense of security knowing your family is protected against these unexpected possibilities.
