In-Lite NAIL Outdoor Bollard Light

Lighting a garden path sounds simple — until you end up with harsh pools of white light, deep shadow gaps between fittings, or glare that ruins the very ambience you were trying to create. Choosing the wrong bollard height, the wrong light spread, or the wrong colour rendering can make a carefully designed garden feel clinical rather than welcoming.

For path and border lighting, two things matter most: how the light falls on the ground, and how accurately it renders the colours around it — the planting, the stonework, the textures. CRI, or Colour Rendering Index, measures that accuracy on a scale to 100. Most outdoor bollards sit at CRI 80. At CRI 96, you are very close to natural daylight in terms of colour fidelity — colours look true, not washed out.

The In-Lite NAIL Outdoor Bollard Light is a slim, ground-spike post light designed specifically for garden path and border illumination. Its wide conical shade directs soft, 360° ambient light downward, controlling glare while maintaining warm atmosphere across the surrounding planting. With a CRI of 96 and an IP65 weatherproof rating — meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and sustained water jets — it is built to perform in outdoor conditions year-round.

The NAIL has a clean, minimalist profile: a slender vertical post topped with a wide-brimmed conical shade, finished in matte black metal. That distinctive coolie-style silhouette is as intentional as it is functional. It reads well in a modern garden during the day and almost disappears into the landscape after dark, letting the light do the talking. Available in two heights, the NAIL can be mixed across a single scheme to create a layered, playful lighting composition along paths or through planting beds.

Installation uses In-Lite's ground-spike system with EASY LOCK connection, making setup straightforward and secure without the need for permanent concrete footings. The IP65 rating confirms suitability for all standard outdoor zones.
