Toluca - Black Bollard with Clear Detailing

The Toluca has a simple cylindrical shape with a black ABS body and clear polycarbonate detailing around the upper section. Horizontal bands create a distinctive louvred appearance, adding visual interest while retaining the fitting's clean, understated profile.

Its predominantly black exterior suits contemporary gardens, paved areas and modern house exteriors. The clear polycarbonate sections reveal the illuminated area within the upper portion of the fitting, rather than concealing it behind an opaque diffuser.

At 45 cm high and 13.5 cm wide, the post sits relatively low to the ground. The compact proportions make it suitable for repeating along pathways or positioning beside planting beds without introducing an excessively tall feature.

The Toluca uses one replaceable E27 bulb, which must be purchased separately. The manufacturer identifies an E27 GLS LED lamp for this fitting. This standard bulb format provides a practical option for selecting the brightness and colour temperature to suit the surrounding outdoor area.

Light passes through the clear polycarbonate detailing near the top of the post. The surrounding horizontal sections form part of the cylindrical housing, so the fitting produces illumination through its exposed sections rather than operating as a directional spotlight.

With an IP44 rating, the Toluca is suitable for outdoor locations exposed to splashing water, such as garden paths, patios and driveways. It is not designed for submersion or high-pressure water jets.

The fitting is mains powered and designed for fixed installation. Its replaceable lampholder means the light source can be changed without replacing the entire post.

What bulb does the Searchlight Toluca 39980-450BK use?

The Toluca requires one E27 bulb, which is not included. The manufacturer specifies the GLS LED lamp format. An LED bulb up to 8W is recommended. You can select the light output and colour temperature to suit the outdoor area, provided the bulb is appropriate for the fitting.

Is the Toluca suitable for outdoor use throughout the year?

Yes. The fitting has an IP44 rating and is designed for outdoor use, including areas exposed to splashing rainwater. It should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and must not be placed where it could become submerged or subjected to high-pressure water jets.

How tall is the Toluca outdoor post light?

The post measures 45 cm high, with a width and depth of 13.5 cm. Its relatively low height makes it useful beside pathways, driveways and landscaped borders where a compact lighting feature is preferred over a taller garden post.

Does this outdoor post need an earth connection?

No earth connection to the fitting itself is required because the Toluca is Class II double insulated. It is designed for permanent connection to a mains electrical supply and must be installed following the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical regulations.

Can several Toluca post lights be installed along a garden path?

Yes. The compact cylindrical design is suitable for repeated installation along garden paths, driveway edges or landscaped areas. The number of fittings and their spacing should be planned according to the selected bulb's light output, the width of the area and the lighting coverage required.
