A Sleek Stainless Steel Bollard for Garden Paths
The Leeds Outdoor Post is a low level bollard light in brushed stainless steel, its louvred cap spreading a soft, even band of light along paths, driveways and borders.
Materials and Finish
Made from brushed stainless steel with a clear polycarbonate diffuser set inside a ridged louvre cap, a finish chosen to resist the weather without losing its shine.
How It Works
It takes a single E27 bulb (not included) and isn't dimmable. Being Class I, it needs to be earthed, so installation by a registered NICEIC electrician is recommended along with suitably rated outdoor cabling.
Where It Works Best
As a bollard, it suits garden paths, driveways and borders, marking the way at a low level rather than lighting from above. A run of two or three spaced evenly apart gives an even wash of light along a path edge.

Questions People Ask
Does the Leeds post come with a bulb? No, it takes a single E27 bulb which is sold separately.
Can I dim the Leeds outdoor post? No, this fitting is not dimmable.
Is the Leeds post safe to use right beside a patio or path that gets wet? Its IP44 rating protects against splashing water, so it suits garden paths and borders, but it is not rated for submersion or direct jets of water.
Do I need an electrician to install it? Yes. It is Class I and needs to be earthed, so installation by a registered NICEIC electrician is recommended.
How far apart should I space bollard lights like this along a path? Most gardens use one post every one and a half to two metres for an even wash of light, though spacing can be adjusted to suit the width and layout of the path.
