Low enough to sit among planting rather than above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBollards are sold singly everywhere and almost always bought in fours or more, because one bollard on a path lights nothing. Buying the set gets you the transformer and the cable in the same box, sized correctly, and gets you fittings from the same production batch so the brass ages at the same rate. Unlacquered brass is not a finish so much as a starting point. It arrives bright, goes bronze within a season and settles into a dark green brown after three or four years. If you want it to stay bright, buy the powder coated version instead, because polishing a bollard twice a year is a job nobody keeps up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 450mm tall, 80mm diameter, 200mm ground stake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: solid brass body and shield, toughened glass, stainless fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: unlacquered brass, copper or powder coated black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight source: 6W integral LED module, replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight output: 10 fittings at 320 lumens each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour temperature: 2700K very warm white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam angle: shielded downward distribution, no upward spill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 12V SELV from a garden transformer, safe to cut and join outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngress protection: IP65, jet proof, suitable for open garden use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable: 75m of 1.5mm low voltage cable, 2m tail on every bollard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 10 years on the brass body, 5 years on the LED and driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended spacing: 3 to 4 metres along a path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet contains 10 bollards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer: 300W toroidal with a photocell and timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark sky friendly, zero upward light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 24.0 kilograms for the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 x 450mm solid brass bollards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 x 200mm stainless ground stakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x toroidal transformer with a photocell and a seven day timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75m of 1.5mm two core low voltage cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 x IP68 waterproof connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare gaskets and a spanner for the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA spacing guide for paths, drives and steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis runs on 12V, which is the reason to choose a low voltage garden system in the first place. The cable can be laid in a shallow trench or clipped along a fence without armoured conduit, it can be cut and joined with waterproof connectors outdoors, and a spade through it is an inconvenience rather than an emergency. The transformer itself is the only part that touches mains, so that is the only part an electrician needs to look at. Bury cable at least 100mm deep, run it along a line you will remember, and leave a loop of slack at every fitting so you can move things next year when the planting has grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarden lighting is bought in spring and installed in a hurry. It is much easier to dig a cable run in February when the borders are bare and the ground is soft than in May when everything is in leaf and you are trying not to stand on it. Order in winter, get the cable in, and the first warm evening of the year is ready for you rather than a job list.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thornbury Brass","offers":[{"title":"Solid brass, unlacquered","offer_id":54963354960209,"sku":"GGS-BOL-002-BR","price":1824.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Copper","offer_id":54963354992977,"sku":"GGS-BOL-002-CU","price":1949.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matt black powder coated","offer_id":54963355025745,"sku":"GGS-BOL-002-BK","price":1724.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1079\/8832\/0593\/files\/Thornbury_Brass_Kingsmoor_450mm_Path_Bollard_Set_of_Ten_with_Transformer_and_Cable.jpg?v=1789049961","url":"https:\/\/gardenglowshop.com\/products\/thornbury-brass-kingsmoor-450mm-path-bollard-set-of-ten-with-transformer-and-cable","provider":"Garden Glow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
