Iconium Timber LED Bollard Lights – Sustainable Lighting with Natural Elegance
When it comes to outdoor lighting, finding the perfect balance between aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability can be challenging. Iconium’s timber LED bollard lights achieve just that- blending timeless craftsmanship with modern, energy-efficient lighting solutions. Made from sustainably sourced timber and fitted with high-performance LED technology, these handcrafted bollards offer a unique, eco-friendly alternative to traditional outdoor lighting. Whether illuminating pathways, gardens, or commercial landscapes, Iconium's range of wooden bollard lights provides a warm, inviting glow while minimising environmental impact.
The Origins of Iconium
Iconium’s journey began decades ago in the woodworking industry, initially as a woodturning company before evolving into staircase manufacturing. This deep-rooted expertise in wood craftsmanship led to a groundbreaking idea in 2018—just before the pandemic struck—to integrate LED lighting into solid timber. The result was the Stratton Eco, a beautifully crafted wooden bollard light that remains their best-selling product today.
But this was more than just an aesthetic innovation; it was the birth of a product that spoke for itself.
Lighting That Speaks for Itself
The Stratton Eco and the wider Iconium range embody a unique combination of sustainability, energy efficiency, and design elegance. These products, handcrafted in the UK, highlight several key attributes:
- Energy Efficiency: Featuring LED technology, Iconium’s bollard lights consume minimal power while delivering warm, atmospheric illumination.
- Low Carbon Footprint: The timber is sourced primarily from the UK and Western Europe, with the light source accounting for just 1.7% or less of the total unit weight and sourced from the Far East.
- Eco-Friendly Manufacturing: Produced in the UK, Iconium bollard lights reduce transport emissions while supporting local craftsmanship.
- Minimal Light Pollution: Designed to direct light downward at a 45° angle, these bollards reduce upward light reflection, preserving night sky visibility and reducing glare.
- Carbon Sequestration: Each timber bollard naturally absorbs carbon throughout its lifespan. For instance, an Eco Larch bollard (3.5kg) sequesters approximately 13.85kg of CO₂.
- Versatile Applications: From commercial landscapes to residential gardens, heritage sites to environmentally sensitive areas, Iconium timber LED bollards are suitable for a wide range of locations.
