Driveway Bollard Lights for Garden Lighting

The ILED-BP-A B2 is an outdoor bollard light with an arch-shaped top, made for garden and driveway lighting. It is the slim round-post fixture you set into a pathway, a driveway edge or a garden border, and it puts out a clean, even light from the top. It comes in three sizes and is sealed for the outdoors with an impact rating, which is what a bollard that people and vehicles move around needs.

Tech specs at a glance

The fixture runs on 220 to 240VAC or 110 to 277VAC and comes in three sizes, 10W, 14W and 20W, at 80 lumen per watt, so the light output is 800, 1120 or 1600 lumen. It uses LumiLEDs, with a CRI above 80 and a colour temperature from 2800K to 6500K. The body is 160mm in diameter, 800mm high as standard, in aluminum with a PC lens, and it is sealed to IP65 with an IK10 impact rating. It is a Class I fixture, certified to SAA, CE and RoHS, with a 3 to 5 year warranty.

The arch-top design

The top of the post is shaped into an arch, which is what the B2 is named for. It is a clean, rounded line instead of a flat cap, so the light comes off the top edge and the whole post reads as a finished feature rather than a bare tube. It is the pick for a garden or driveway where you want the bollard to look deliberate, not just functional.

Three sizes, three lights

The range runs 10W, 14W and 20W, each at 80 lumen per watt, so the output steps up to 800, 1120 and 1600 lumen. The 10W is the softer option for a quiet garden path, the 14W is the everyday all-round choice, and the 20W is the pick for a driveway or a busier walkway where you want the light to read clearly. They all share the same 160mm body and the standard 800mm height, so a set of them lines up along a line.

IP65 and IK10

The seal is IP65, so it handles rain and spray, which is what a garden or a driveway needs. The IK10 rating is the impact side, which is the important one for a bollard, because it means the fixture is built to take a hit, from a hand, a trolley or a low bump, without failing. It is the difference between one that lasts on a footpath and one that cracks after the first knock.

Choosing the white

The light runs from 2800K to 6500K, so you match the temperature to the space. A warm 3000K suits a home garden and a driveway at night, and a cooler white reads brighter and cleaner for a public walkway or a commercial path. Pick the temperature to suit, and keep it consistent along a run so the light does not shift.

Build and materials

The post is aluminum with a PC lens, which keeps it light and weather-resistant, and the aluminum handles the heat the light puts out. It is a Class I fixture, so it needs to be earthed on install. Choose the body colour to suit the garden or the building it sits by.

What is in the box

Each unit ships as a single bollard, with the aluminum post, the PC lens and the mounting base. You choose the size, the colour temperature and the body colour when you order it, and the height can be set to your project.

What you need to supply

You will need to wire it to a 220 to 240VAC or 110 to 277VAC supply, matching the version you ordered, and secure it on a solid base in the ground. Because it is a Class I fixture, the install needs an earth. For dimming, check the version is marked dimmable and use a compatible LED dimmer.

Where it gets used

As a garden and driveway bollard it shows up on pathways and walkways, at the edge of a driveway, along a garden border, and in parks, plazas and commercial areas where you want to mark a line of light and guide people at night. The IK10 rating is the reason it is chosen where it will get knocked, a driveway or a busy footpath rather than a protected spot.

Lifespan and reliability

The LumiLEDs run at 80 lumen per watt with a CRI above 80, a sensible efficiency for an outdoor accent. The aluminum body handles the heat without a fan, and the IP65 seal keeps the weather out, so it is built to stay on the path for years. The IK10 impact rating is the added margin for a bollard that people move around, which keeps it going on a driveway as well as a quiet garden path.

Here is what installers tell us they like about the ILED-BP-A B2:

Built to take a knock. The IK10 impact rating is the point of a driveway bollard. It is built to survive a hand, a trolley or a low bump, so it lasts on a footpath, not just in a protected spot.

Sealed for the outdoors. The IP65 seal handles rain and spray, which is what a garden or a driveway needs, and the aluminum and PC build is light and weather-resistant.

Three sizes to fit the job. The 10W, 14W and 20W step up to 800, 1120 and 1600 lumen, so you match the light to the path, the driveway or a busier walkway.

Pick the white and the body. Three colour temperatures and a white, black or silver gray body mean you match the bollard to the garden or the building it sits by.

The arch-top finish. The rounded top reads as a deliberate feature rather than a bare tube, which is what you want on a visible garden line.

A garden and driveway bollard like this one is used where you want to mark a line of light and guide people at night:

Driveways. Along the edge of a driveway, the bollard marks the line for a car at night, and the IK10 rating is what you want where a trolley or a vehicle might edge into it.

Garden paths and borders. A run of them along a path or a garden border gives a steady line of light that is easy to see but not harsh, and the warm white reads as a soft, homey accent.

Walkways and footpaths. On a walkway, they mark the route and guide pedestrians, which is useful in a park, a plaza or a commercial area where you want to define the space.

Parks and public areas. The combination of the IP65 seal and the IK10 impact rating is the right spec for a public footpath, where the bollards have to stand up to real traffic.

Building entries. A pair at an entry or along a frontage marks the approach with a clean line of light, and the white or black body blends into the building or the garden.

A few things to check before you set one in the ground:

Match the voltage. It runs on 220 to 240VAC or 110 to 277VAC, so order the version for the supply at the install point. Feeding the wrong version will not run it correctly.

Pick the size for the spot. Choose the 10W, 14W or 20W to suit the path or the driveway, so the light is enough without flooding the area. A quiet garden takes the 10W, a driveway takes the 20W.

Confirm the height. The standard post is 800mm, but it can be customized, so order the height for the space and check the base will sit flush on the surface you are setting it into.

Use a solid base. It is a bollard that will get walked or driven past, so set it on a solid base and secure it, because the IK10 rating is what lets it take a knock once it is in place.

Pick the body and the white. Choose the white, black or silver gray body to suit the site, and the colour temperature to suit the space, keeping it consistent along a run.
