The main difference between a pole light and a bollard light is their height, purpose, and illumination coverage. A pole light is a tall outdoor fixture, typically mounted 10 to 30 feet high, designed to illuminate large areas such as streets, parking lots, or commercial spaces. In contrast, a bollard light is a short, ground-mounted fixture, usually 2 to 4 feet tall, that provides localized, low-level lighting for pathways, walkways, and landscaped areas. While pole lights enhance wide-area visibility and security, bollard lights create a pedestrian-scale lighting effect that balances safety with architectural aesthetics.
