Rules for lighting bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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.
Electrical connection
A qualified electrician installs the circuit protection, makes the connections in weatherproof enclosures and fits controls such as a photocell or timer.
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.

Can bollard lights work on a timer or motion sensor?
Yes. Photocells switch them on at dusk, timers switch them off or dim them late at night and motion sensors bring them up when someone approaches. Combining controls saves energy and reduces light pollution.

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.
