Bollard light installation for paths, driveways, and garden areas. We run cables safely underground, install lights properly, and make sure everything works reliably. Low voltage or mains - done right, not bodged.
Bollard lights transform outdoor spaces - lighting paths safely, highlighting driveways, adding ambiance to gardens. But installation needs doing properly. Badly installed garden lighting fails within months from water ingress or cable damage.
We bury cables at proper depths in protective conduit, make weatherproof connections, and mount lights securely. For mains voltage work, we partner with qualified electricians. For low voltage systems, we handle the whole job ourselves.
### Installation Options

What to Expect
**Step 1: Site assessment** - We discuss where you want lights, assess power source options, plan cable routes avoiding obstacles, and recommend appropriate products. We'll explain low voltage vs mains options. **Step 2: Cable installation** - We dig trenches, lay cable in protective conduit, bury at correct depths, and restore ground. This is the messiest part but we tidy up thoroughly afterwards. **Step 3: Light installation and testing** - We mount bollards securely, make waterproof connections, test everything works, and show you how to operate/maintain the system. We check it again after a few days.

Good to Know
Plan lighting for winter evenings when you need it, not summer when it looks nice. Paths and steps are priorities - falling over in the dark hurts. Driveway lighting should illuminate without blinding drivers. Solar bollards are cheaper to install but less reliable long-term than wired systems. Good quality bollards cost more but last years longer than cheap ones that corrode and leak.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bollard light installation in Dawlish
Do you need an electrician for bollard lights?
For mains voltage bollard lights, yes - Part P regulations require qualified electricians for outdoor mains wiring. We work with certified electricians for mains installations. Low voltage (12V) systems we can handle ourselves.
Can you install low voltage bollard lights?
Yes, low voltage garden lighting (12V or 24V systems) we install ourselves. These are safer, easier to maintain, and don't require Part P certification. Perfect for most domestic garden lighting needs.
How do you run the cables?
Cables are buried underground in protective conduit at proper depths (usually 45-60cm for low voltage, deeper for mains). We avoid existing services, route neatly, and restore ground surface afterwards.
How much does bollard light installation cost?
From £110 for basic low voltage installations (2-3 lights, short cable runs). Mains voltage or complex layouts cost more due to electrician involvement and additional labor. We'll quote based on your specific setup.
