Toluca - Black Bollard with Clear Detailing

The Toluca outdoor post has a tall, cylindrical design with clean lines and a contemporary black finish. Its understated appearance makes it suitable for modern homes, landscaped gardens and commercial outdoor settings.

The body is constructed from ABS and polycarbonate, with clear polycarbonate diffuser sections positioned around the upper part of the fitting. These allow light from the internal bulb to pass through the surrounding openings.

At 90 cm high and 13.5 cm wide, the post has a slim profile that can be incorporated into pathways, planting borders or other defined outdoor areas. The black finish provides a discreet appearance during daylight hours.

The Toluca uses one replaceable E27 bulb positioned inside the upper section of the post. Clear polycarbonate sections allow light to spread outwards through the openings around the cylindrical housing, helping illuminate the surrounding ground and nearby walking areas.

An E27 GLS LED bulb is recommended. The bulb is not included, so you can select a suitable LED lamp according to the brightness and colour temperature required for your outdoor space.

The manufacturer's specification lists a 25W lamp rating. Where a separate maximum LED wattage is not established, an LED bulb of up to 3W is the recommended replacement based on this traditional rating.

The fitting is rated IP44, providing protection against splashing water from different directions. It is intended for fixed outdoor installation rather than immersion in water or locations requiring a higher degree of ingress protection.

The manufacturer's product specification identifies this model as non-dimmable. The light is designed for conventional mains-powered operation.
