Bollard lights: residential and commercial illumination

For residential use, bollard post fixtures come in a variety of sizes for various lighting needs and uses. One use is bollard address numbers that light at night and let visitors know which house number is yours. Shorter versions with lighting that illuminates from attractive grill bands is an popular decorative fixture style.

Looking much like rounded rockets or rounded posts, bollards can be used for pathway lighting and well incorporated into the overall landscape lighting plan. Used as spread lights, bollards can be used to light a symmetrical area to highlight plants and low shrubbery.

Bollards can also be used as security lights for commercial use or exterior home lighting. To accommodate the various niches where bollard lamp fixtures can be used there are a number of manufacturers producing these lights.
