LED LIGHTING BOLLARDS

Outdoor bollard lights, also known as post lights, lamp posts or post mointed lights provide high uniformity, superior brightness, energy efficiency, and longevity. They also reduce maintenance costs and contribute to sustainability with lower carbon emissions.

LED bollard lighting lasts significantly longer than traditional bollard lights such as incandescent, fluorescent, or metal halide. The average LED light engine can last over 100,000 hours, which is approximately five times longer than fluorescent technology. The lifespan is measured by “lumen depreciation,” where the light output gradually decreases over time but does not result in complete failure.

These LED chips typically last over 100,000 hours, making them a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution for long-term outdoor lighting. Gemma Lighting LED bollard lights are rated to L90B10, where ‘L’ refers to the percentage of lumen output compared to the initial lumens, and ‘B’ refers to the percentage of failures where luminaire lumens fall outside of the criteria set by ‘L’.

For these LED bollards, L90B10 means that at 100,000hrs the LED bollard lighting is set to achieve 90% of its initial lumen output at the time of manufacture, with only 10% failing to reach 90%. It’s important to note that the 10% doesn’t mean complete failure to operate, just that the lumen output might fall to 89% of the initial lumen output at the time of manufacture.

LED bollard lighting experiences “lumen depreciation,” which means its light output decreases gradually over time, typically measured as L90B10. For example, at 100,000 hours, an LED bollard would still emit 90% of its original light output, with only 10% of the luminaires failing to meet this standard.

LED bollard lights are made from die-cast aluminium with a polycarbonate diffuser, which makes them highly resistant to rust and corrosion, as well as UV degradation. The housing is robust and built to last, supporting IP65 and IK10 ratings for ingress protection and impact resistance.

No, we use an integral LED circuit board module in our luminaires which is a more efficient and sustainable method compared to an LED bulb or even GU10 fitting.

LED bollard lighting provides higher lux levels, better uniformity, improved colour rendering, and a higher lumen output than traditional lamp-based bollards. Additionally, LED bollards offer a wide range of colour temperatures and can operate instantly without delays, unlike traditional lights that require time to warm up. LED bollards also benefit from reduced maintenance costs (if any) compared to traditional lamp-based bollards.

Typically our 20W LED bollards are equivalent to traditional 50w sodium lamps thanks to their high lumen output and energy savings, making them suitable for use to illuminate a pathway, driveway lighting, garden lighting, or general outdoor use.

LED bollard lights are highly energy-efficient. A 6-watt LED can produce the same lumen output as a 40-watt incandescent bulb. LEDs turn about 70% of their energy into light, unlike traditional lights, which wasted much of their energy as heat.

LED bollard lights don’t have high energy losses through heat like traditional lighting sources. LED bollards can also utilize optics to direct the light where it’s needed, eliminating wasted light. Traditional light sources rely on reflectors, which are less efficient, resulting in more energy wastage.

Yes, LED bollard lights are dimmable, allowing you to adjust their lumen output to meet the specific needs of your project. This feature provides flexibility and helps in energy-saving. Look for the DALI bollard control option to enable this feature.

Yes, LED bollard lights are more robust than traditional light sources such as fluorescent or metal halide bulbs. They can safely operate in cold temperatures, making them ideal for outdoor areas during winter. Operating temperatures of LED bollard lights down to -20°C, with Emergency versions operating at -20°C too, but requiring 0°C and above in order for the battery to recharge.

Yes, LED bollards are designed to endure extreme weather conditions and perform reliably in rain, snow, and sunlight. Rated operating temperatures range from -20°C to +40°C. Note; Emergency versions will operate at these temperatures but require 0°C to +40°C for the battery to recharge.

LED lighting is an environmentally friendly option because it significantly reduces CO2 emissions. For example, replacing a 60-watt metal halide lamp with an LED reduces about 160kg of CO2 emissions per year. Additionally, LEDs do not contain harmful chemicals like mercury, which is found in fluorescent lamps.

Gemma Lighting’s LED bollard lights are designed for low energy consumption, long life, and the use of high-quality sustainable materials, contributing to a greener environment.

Yes, LED bollard lights can be manufactured to emit specific colour temperatures, including 2700k and 2200k, or even single spectrum colours like red or amber. These colour temperatures reduce blue light content, making the lights less disruptive to bats and insects.

LED bollard lighting offers several advantages over traditional lighting, including a longer lifespan, lower energy consumption, improved performance, and environmental friendliness. It is also more robust and works well in colder temperatures, making it an ideal choice for outdoor lighting.

LED bollard lights are ideal for outdoor spaces due to their long lifespan, energy efficiency, and superior light quality. They are durable, easy to maintain, and environmentally friendly, providing a cost-effective and sustainable lighting solution.

By providing uniform illumination, LED bollards increase visibility and reduce the risk of accidents for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers in outdoor spaces.

Gemma Lighting combines modern designs with cutting-edge LED technology to provide you with smart, energy-efficient, and durable bollard lighting solutions for all your outdoor needs. Whether you’re illuminating pavements, driveways, car parks, or enhancing your natural landscape or urban environment, Gemma Lighting ensures reliable performance and exceptional design and can be painted any RAL colour finish, e.g. anthracite.
