Bollards can be a nice alternative to streetlights — but only if they're right for your project. Intrigued? Let's pass the mic to Richard Jackson, who knows all about this topic. 🎤 He says since they're installed at a lower level than streetlights, they have to throw light further out. So, you'll need more of them to achieve your desired (or required) lighting levels, which can be more expensive. Watch the video below to see what he means... #Bollards #Streetlights #LightingScheme

I really like these little v-logs your doing. Great to have these snippets of information.
Richard Jackson. Maybe worth mentioning SBD requirements as we always ask this question when clients enquire about bollard only lighting.
