The main difference between a bollard light and a path light lies in their size, structure, and function. A bollard light is a tall, sturdy vertical fixture, usually 24 to 42 inches high, that provides broad, directional illumination for pathways, driveways, and landscaped areas while also acting as a visible boundary or physical guidepost. In contrast, a path light is typically smaller and lower to the ground, designed primarily to highlight walkways, garden edges, or flowerbeds with softer, downward illumination. Both enhance outdoor safety and aesthetics, but bollard lights offer more durability and visual impact, while path lights provide gentle accent lighting for landscape design.
