Driveway Bollard Light Glass Globe E27 Weatherproof IP54 Aluminum 18 22 27 cm Black Bronze Fence Post Garden | Sansoti

Post lights for a driveway that gets pitch-dark at night

You only notice an unlit driveway when you reverse into it in the dark or a visitor trips over the edge of the paving. These post lights for the driveway mark the entrance and gateposts with a warm glow, so you can see where the asphalt ends and the flower bed begins. The glass globe diffuses light all around rather than in one direction, making the full width of the entrance visible. During the day, it remains a quietly designed feature on the post: a glass globe on a polished aluminum base, in Ø18, Ø22 or Ø27 cm — a compact lamp, no taller than half a brick course or five to seven rows of masonry.

Why this light works on a driveway

• Safer driving in and out: Light on the gateposts gives you a fixed reference point for the width of the entrance in the dark.
• Light all around: The globe-shaped glass shade shines in every direction, keeping the edge of the paving and the flower bed visible too.
• IP54 weather-resistant: Resistant to rain and dust, so it can stay outdoors all year round.
• Three sizes: Ø18×H33 cm, Ø22×H38 cm and Ø27×H47 cm, to suit the dimensions of your pillar or post.
• E27 socket: Choose your own bulb, including its wattage and light color for your driveway.
• Polished aluminum: Available in black or bronze, resistant to corrosion and discoloration by the street.

Choose a size to suit your pillar

The size should match the masonry: Ø18×H33 cm looks proportionate on a narrow post of about 20 cm, while a wide brick pillar at a driveway usually calls for Ø22×H38 cm or Ø27×H47 cm. Two lights on the gateposts on either side of the driveway create the most balanced look; for a longer driveway, sets of two, four, six or eight mark the entire path. The light is wired to a 110-220V supply, so plan for the cable if you are having the driveway repaved. After that, maintenance is limited to wiping the glass shade now and then — the smooth surfaces stay effortlessly clean.
