Dubai - Black Lantern Bollard IP44

The Dubai outdoor post features a slim, square column in a black finish, topped with a lantern-style light compartment. Its straight edges, flat top and simple proportions create a contemporary appearance without elaborate decoration.

Clear polycarbonate panels surround the light source, leaving the bulb visible rather than concealing it behind an opaque diffuser. The black framing provides a defined outline around the illuminated section.

Constructed from ABS and polycarbonate, the fitting measures 45 cm high, 10 cm wide and 10 cm long. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for repeated placement along paths or beside planted borders.

The Dubai uses one replaceable E27 bulb, which is purchased separately. Its clear panels allow light to pass through the sides of the lantern-style head, making the fitting useful for low-level outdoor illumination.

An E27 LED bulb can be used to provide energy-efficient lighting. The appearance and brightness of the finished installation will depend on the selected bulb, including its lumen output and colour temperature.

The manufacturer specifies a maximum of 25 W for a traditional bulb. For LED use, a bulb rated up to 3W is recommended. Choose a bulb with suitable physical dimensions for the enclosed light compartment.

With an IP44 rating, the fitting is protected against splashing water from different directions. It is suitable for appropriate outdoor locations but is not designed for immersion or high-pressure water exposure.

The post is designed for fixed ground mounting and connection to a mains electrical supply. Its installation instructions show a base-mounted arrangement with an electrical connection inside the fitting. The light source can be accessed by removing the upper cover assembly.

Does the Searchlight Dubai outdoor post come with a bulb?

No. The Dubai 38820-450BK requires one E27 bulb, which must be purchased separately. A suitable LED bulb can be used, with a recommended rating of up to 3W. The bulb's brightness and colour temperature can be selected according to the lighting required.

Can this outdoor post be installed beside a garden path or driveway?

Yes. The 45 cm post is designed for outdoor ground mounting and is suitable for locations such as garden paths, patio edges and driveways. It must be fixed securely to an appropriate mounting surface and connected in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Is the Dubai outdoor post waterproof?

The fitting has an IP44 rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water. This makes it suitable for appropriate outdoor installations exposed to normal rain. It should not be submerged, installed where water collects around the fitting or exposed to high-pressure water jets.

Is the Dubai 38820-450BK dimmable?

No. Searchlight lists this model as non-dimmable. It is intended to provide standard on/off illumination using a suitable E27 bulb.

Can I use matching Dubai lights elsewhere around my home?

Yes. The Searchlight Dubai collection includes a taller 90 cm outdoor post and a coordinating outdoor wall light. These can be combined with the 45 cm version to maintain a consistent black finish and clear-panel design around pathways, entrances and exterior walls.
