Borg 6170GB is a 55 cm Norlys bollard light: a slim round shaft 76 mm across, topped by a flat disc 20 cm in diameter. The body is cast aluminium, powder-coated in beige grey, and the light comes out under the disc through a satin PMMA diffuser.
How much light and what kind
The integrated LED module draws 16 W and the fitting delivers 1358 lm (the source itself produces 2093 lm). That is more than an old 75 W bulb, so one bollard clearly lights the ground around it. 3000 K is a warm, slightly yellowish white.
The disc shields the source from above: the manufacturer states a ULOR of 0% and a BUG rating of B1-U1-G0, meaning no light goes skyward, which matters near bedroom windows and in areas that value a dark sky. The fitting can be dimmed with a phase dimmer, either trailing edge (TE) or leading edge (LE). The LED module and driver are replaced by a professional service (service kit ZS6170zx0010); the manufacturer gives a lifetime of over 102,000 h at L80 and over 52,600 h at L90, and 50,000 h for the driver.
Installation and wiring
The bollard weighs 2.38 kg. For setting it, Norlys sells a ground anchor 202GA, a concrete-foundation adapter 201GA and a concrete anchor 203ZX separately. The terminals take conductors up to 3×4 mm², a further fitting can be looped through, and the gland accepts round cable 8–12.5 mm in diameter.
Inrush current is 2 A for 50 µs, and the manufacturer lists how many fittings one circuit breaker can carry: B 10 A – 31, B 16 A – 50, C 10 A – 52, C 16 A – 58. Check these figures before planning a long row of bollards on one circuit. The light is protection class I, so the earth conductor must be connected.
Durability and where it fits
IP65 means dust-tight and protected against water jets, and IK08 is the impact rating that matters beside a driveway and on paths many people use. The bollard suits a terrace, a garden, a driveway edge, a street frontage or a park. The plain form, a cylinder and a disc with no ornament, is modern and minimalist.
