Tronco - IP65 Anthracite Bollard with Diffuser 40.5 cm

The Tronco has a simple cylindrical form finished in anthracite, giving it a restrained contemporary appearance for outdoor settings. Its body is made from die-cast aluminium, while the upper light section uses a transparent Pyrex glass diffuser with aluminium elements inside. The clear section allows the lamp and internal detailing to remain visible when the fitting is switched off, while the dark anthracite finish helps the bollard sit naturally alongside paving, stonework, planting and modern exterior finishes.

This outdoor bollard uses one E27 bulb, which is not supplied. Ideal Lux specifies diffuse light emission, helping distribute illumination around the upper section rather than concentrating it into a narrow beam. The fitting is LED compatible, and the manufacturer's specified bulb recommendation is an E27 P45 globe-shaped clear LED lamp.

The current technical specification gives a maximum E27 lamp rating of 42W. The fitting itself is specified as non-dimmable. Its IP65 protection rating makes it suitable for outdoor locations where resistance to dust and water is required. The Class I construction operates from a 220-240V AC supply.
