At KG Electrical Contractors, we design and install bollard lighting across St Albans and Hertfordshire, providing practical LED outdoor lighting for garden paths, driveways, patios and commercial spaces.
We design and install bollard lighting across St Albans and Hertfordshire, providing practical outdoor illumination for driveways, garden paths, patios, entrances and commercial grounds. Each installation is carefully planned to improve visibility while complementing your property and surrounding landscape.
Our LED bollard lights and pathway lighting are positioned to create balanced illumination without overpowering the space. From residential gardens to larger commercial grounds, we deliver reliable outdoor lighting with a clean, professional finish.
We work with homeowners, designers, landscapers and businesses across Hertfordshire to deliver outdoor electrical and lighting installations that combine practical performance with considered design.
We design and install bollard lighting for a wide range of outdoor spaces across St Albans and Hertfordshire.
Good outdoor lighting isn’t simply about choosing attractive fittings. The electrical installation, environmental protection and lighting design all need to work together.
We consider fitting height, lumen output, beam angle and the width of the area when planning bollard positions, helping create consistent illumination without unnecessary glare.
We specify outdoor-rated bollards appropriate to their location and exposure, helping your lighting withstand typical UK weather conditions.
For commercial and publicly accessible areas, we can specify fittings with appropriate IK impact protection where there is a greater risk of accidental or mechanical damage.
There isn’t one bollard or spacing specification that works for every property. We consider the size and layout of the area, surrounding landscaping, required illumination and appearance of the fittings when developing your lighting scheme.
| Height | Typical Application | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 500 to 600mm | Garden paths, patio perimeters | Low, discreet lighting with minimal visual intrusion. Ideal for formal garden paths and patio edges. |
| 600 to 800mm | Residential driveways, front garden paths | A common residential height, providing clear pathway and driveway definition without obstructing sightlines. |
| 800mm to 1m | Wider driveways, shared access routes, estate pathways | Suitable for longer runs and wider areas, offering greater visibility without becoming intrusive. |
| 1m to 1.2m | Commercial car parks, estate roads, school grounds | Provides greater visibility and wider light distribution for larger outdoor and commercial areas. |
We installed discreet lighting and power across three designer gardens at RHS Wisley. Using 32 lights and six power supplies to highlight rare plants and create a calming, immersive evening experience.
During a £14 million spa refurbishment, we worked with leading designers to install lighting for a tranquil courtyard garden — a scheme that brings calm, elegance, and atmosphere as day turns to night.
Working alongside lighting and garden designers, we delivered a bespoke scheme for this six acre estate in Chesham covering ancient trees, meadows, fountains, and formal gardens.
Our Process

We’ll provide a clear estimate based on your requirements, then plan the installation around your property and schedule.

Our electricians install the system carefully and efficiently, with tidy cabling, suitable outdoor fittings and thorough testing before completion. We can also help with repairs, replacements and future upgrades.
The cost depends on the number of fittings, type of bollard, cable requirements, ground conditions, controls and complexity of the installation. We’ll assess your requirements and provide a tailored quote.
This depends on the size and layout of the area, fitting height, lumen output and beam angle. We’ll recommend suitable positioning rather than applying a standard number of fittings to every project.
For many residential gardens, driveways and paths, warm white LED lighting around 2700K–3000K provides a comfortable and attractive appearance. We’ll help you choose a colour temperature that suits your property.

Spike lights are a more discreet and flexible option, while bollard lights provide stronger visual presence and consistent low-level illumination along paths and driveways.
In-ground lights create a discreet architectural effect but can require more complex installation and suitable protection where vehicles pass over them. Bollard lights offer a practical, accessible alternative that is easier to maintain.
Wall lights work well where a suitable wall or structure is available. Bollard lights are ideal where there is no suitable mounting surface or where illumination is needed directly alongside a path or driveway.
