Rules for lighting bollards in Wales
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
Survey and lighting layout
A free site survey looks at the routes to be lit, where power can come from, surfaces and buried services. Bollard spacing is set from the product's light data, and you receive a fixed written quote.
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.
Electrical connection
A qualified electrician installs the circuit protection, makes the connections in weatherproof enclosures and fits controls such as a photocell or timer.
Reinstate
Trenches are backfilled and surfaces made good, whether paving, tarmac, gravel or turf.

Are solar bollard lights worth it?
For marking edges and low-use paths, they can be, because there is no cabling to install. They give less light than mains bollards and perform poorly in shaded spots and short winter days. For lighting a route properly, mains bollards are more dependable.
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.
