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
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.
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.

What IP rating do outdoor bollard lights need?
Usually at least IP65 for rain and splashing, and higher where water may collect or fittings are hosed down. Ask for the rating of the complete fitting, not just the LED module.
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.
