Galvion - Galvanised Silver Bollard with Clear Glass IP44

The Galvion outdoor post features a galvanised metal body in a natural silver-grey finish, complemented by a glass lantern enclosure. Its design draws on traditional outdoor lanterns while retaining a relatively simple appearance suitable for a variety of garden styles.

With an overall height of 98 cm and a width and depth of 23 cm, the fitting has enough presence to mark a pathway, entrance or garden feature without requiring a tall lighting column.

The galvanised finish gives the metal a practical, understated appearance that coordinates particularly well with stone paving, brickwork, timber and other commonly used outdoor materials.

The Galvion uses one replaceable E27 bulb, which is not included. An E27 LED bulb can be selected to provide the required brightness and colour temperature, subject to the fitting's specified lamp wattage.

The glass lantern enclosure permits light to pass through the sides of the fitting, helping illuminate the immediate surrounding area. Actual light output and distribution depend on the bulb installed.

The manufacturer's specification lists a lamp wattage of 10W. The fitting is therefore best matched with an E27 LED bulb that does not exceed this stated wattage, although the manufacturer does not explicitly identify the 10W figure as an LED-specific maximum.

Searchlight confirms dimming compatibility. Compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs, when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.

Its IP44 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for normal outdoor exposure, but not for submersion or high-pressure water jets.
