When Fagerhult now launches Fjord – a bollard in two heights and with several light distributions – new opportunities are available when lighting outdoor environments. The luminaire meets high demands on efficiency and installation without compromising on either lighting design or aesthetics.
Fjord is an efficient and expressive bollard for parks, recreation areas, and gardens, as well as streets, footpaths, and cycle paths. The luminaire also meets the outdoor environment’s high energy efficiency and aesthetics demands – and is easy to handle during installation and maintenance.
“The idea behind Fjord was to design a bollard that suits different types of outdoor environments and goes well with other luminaires. The clean lines add a design element, and the optics are optimized to provide good lighting in parks, along paths and other urban outdoor environments,” says Håkan Sehler, product manager, Fagerhult.
The bollard is available in two heights and with two top shades, creating new possibilities for lighting and visual expression. The high efficiency also allows for longer distances between each luminaire, resulting in fewer installation points and, ultimately, lower costs.
Symmetrical and asymmetrical light distribution.
Fjord provides a reduced proportion of light pollution in the night sky with optional integrated night dimming, optimized light distribution, and a light source close to the ground. Fjord is also available with both symmetrical and asymmetrical light distribution.
“The optics are of the highest quality and a result of our development work. The lenses provide an even light distribution without shadows at the base of the bollard or light reflections along the post,” says Håkan Sehler.
Fjord is available with two different top shades. The higher provides a salient light distribution and is well visible at longer distances, creating natural navigation points and a good guiding light along pedestrian or cycle paths. The lower top shade has a more discreet expression where the light source is hidden and creates a guiding light without the risk of glare.
“Throughout the development process, we have focused on aesthetics and optics, but in outdoor environments installation and maintenance are essential. The bollard can be mounted in several ways, and for foundation installation, we recommend our Multitube attachment tube. It requires no wedges, so the bollard is always at perfect ground level. An installation hatch is also available as an option, facilitating installation and making it easier to check the luminaire over time,” concludes Håkan Sehler.
