V-TAC VT-1196 is a low, square garden bollard with two 16 A sockets. It stands 23 cm high with a 70 × 70 mm base, so it is a much smaller element than a conventional garden lantern. Its black stainless-steel housing has a clean, technical form visible in the product images.
Two sockets for an outdoor installation
The bollard uses an AC 220–240 V, 50 Hz input. Its two 16 A outlets have a combined maximum load of 3600 W. Compare that figure with the intended load of connected equipment; this item is not a luminaire with its own light source.
IP44 protection is specified for this exact variant. The manufacturer’s official distributor lists VT-1196 as a garden product and names garden, driveway and path use. Before choosing it, compare the 70 × 70 × 230 mm dimensions with the planned installation location.
Exact variant identification
