Dubai - Black Lantern Bollard IP44

The Dubai outdoor post features a tall, straight rectangular body in a black finish, topped with a square lantern-style lighting compartment. Its clean lines and simple geometric proportions suit contemporary gardens, modern homes and landscaped outdoor spaces.

The body is manufactured from ABS and polycarbonate, while the clear polycarbonate panels provide visibility of the light source inside. Unlike frosted diffusers, the transparent panels do not deliberately obscure the bulb, making the appearance of the selected lamp an important part of the finished look.

Measuring 90 cm high and 10 cm wide by 10 cm deep, the fitting maintains a narrow footprint while providing a clearly visible vertical feature.

The Dubai post light accommodates one replaceable E27 bulb, which is not included. The clear panels allow illumination to travel through the sides of the lantern compartment, providing light from several directions rather than concentrating it into a single downward beam.

An E27 GLS-style LED bulb is recommended for this fitting. The manufacturer's specification lists a 25W lamp rating, although it does not clearly identify this as a maximum electrical wattage for LED lamps. A low-wattage LED bulb is a practical option for everyday outdoor illumination.

With a replaceable bulb, you can choose the colour temperature and light output to suit the installation. A warm white LED can help create a softer appearance around garden seating or entrances, while a neutral white lamp may be preferred for clearer visibility along pathways.

The IP44 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water from any direction. The fitting is designed for permanent, mains-wired installation onto a suitable fixed surface, with its base secured using the supplied mounting components.

Does the Searchlight Dubai outdoor post come with a bulb?

No. The Dubai 38820-900BK requires one E27 bulb, which must be purchased separately. A GLS-style LED bulb is recommended. Choosing the bulb separately allows you to select the colour temperature and brightness appropriate for your garden or pathway.

Can I use an LED bulb in this outdoor post light?

Yes. The Dubai post is compatible with E27 LED bulbs. A GLS-style LED bulb is recommended. The fitting has a listed 25W lamp rating, but this should not be interpreted as a confirmed 25W LED maximum. A suitable low-wattage LED provides an energy-efficient option for outdoor lighting.

Is the Dubai outdoor post suitable for use in the rain?

Yes. Its IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for appropriate outdoor locations. It is not designed for submersion or prolonged exposure to pressurised water jets. Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical requirements.

How is the Searchlight Dubai 90 cm post installed?

The fitting is designed for permanent installation on a suitable solid surface.

As this is a mains-wired outdoor fitting, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Are there matching outdoor lights in the Dubai collection?

Yes. The Searchlight Dubai range also includes a shorter 45 cm outdoor post and a coordinating outdoor wall light. These can be used alongside the 90 cm version to create a consistent appearance across entrances, garden paths and other exterior areas.
