Rules for lighting bollards in Northern Ireland
Bollards on public footways and roads need DfI Roads consent under the Roads (NI) Order 1993; councils deal with planning. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Dig cable routes
Trenches are dug between bollard positions and the supply point, avoiding existing services, with cable or duct laid at a suitable depth and warning tape above.
Set the bases
Anchor cages or foundations are cast at each position with the cable entry in the right place, set level so each bollard stands plumb.
Test, aim and certify
The circuit is tested and certified, bollards are checked at night for coverage and glare, and asymmetric heads are turned to face the path.
Reinstate
Trenches are backfilled and surfaces made good, whether paving, tarmac, gravel or turf.

How far apart should lighting bollards be?
That depends on the light output, beam pattern and how evenly the path needs to be lit. Spacing is worked out from the product's light data rather than a fixed distance. Too far apart leaves dark patches between pools of light.
Do lighting bollards need an electrician to install?
Yes, mains lighting bollards must be connected by a qualified electrician, who tests and certifies the circuit. We arrange that as part of the job. Solar bollards avoid mains work but provide less light.
