ARCI LED bollard light installed

Someone running over one of your bollard lights with their car necessitates immediate action!

This recently happened at Mississippi State University, resulting in the demolition of a bollard light.

Whether an overly enthusiastic (and consequently distracted) Mississippi State Bulldogs fan

or a rival fan seeking revenge caused the incident, the university still needed a replacement for the bollard light.

The university chose an Access Fixtures bollard light because it matched the style of their remaining bollards.

MSU opted not to replace all the bollard lights or the cement to which the demolished bollard light was attached.

After placing the order, the MSU facilities manager consulted an Access Fixtures lighting specialist on installing the new bollard light without pouring new cement for the anchor bolts.

 

Bollard Light Installation With Anchor Bolts.

bollard installationWhen replacing an old or broken outdoor bollard light with a new one, the wiring from the existing fixture may still be good.

However, it is unlikely that the old bolts will fit the pattern of the new fixture, even if a mounting bolt or two may still work.

For optimal setup sinking new mounting bolts in fresh cement is always recommended.

However, sometimes it may be too expensive or logistically challenging to install new bollards in this manner.

In such cases, when the need arises to install new bollard lights without pouring new cement mechanical anchors can be a viable solution.

Anchors such as Strong-Tie Strong-Bolt 2 or Red Head anchors from Trubolt can be utilized to mount new bollard lights onto existing cement.

Once you follow the instructions and install and set up your bollard lamp, you’re all set!

Access Fixtures bollard lights are designed to accommodate 3/8″ diameter bolts. Be sure to select the appropriate length for your specific requirements.

When installing bollard lights, ensure the base or fixing plate on every fixture is leveled.

Access Fixtures bollard light bases come with built-in levels, making installation easy; the result will be determined by the quality of the installer’s work.
