Tall - Bollard

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Tall is an outdoor bollard light designed by Jan Forsmark for ateljé Lyktan, inspired by the Scots Pine tree, known as 'Tall' in Swedish. It was first installed in the Treehotel in northern Sweden.

Design and Features
The lamp features a cruciform base with three LED light cells, providing 360-degree light dispersion with a stronger focus in one direction. This allows it to guide pathways while illuminating surroundings.

Technical Specifications

Material: Weatherproof Corten steel with no surface treatment, scrape-proof and UV-protected PC glass.
Connection: Cable connection in housing with through-wiring capability.
Installation: Can be installed on a standard foundation or via in-situ casting with bolts.
Light Source: Includes 3x6W LED, 1425 lm, 3000K light color, Ra 85, with a nominal lifetime of 50,000 hours.

Material and Aesthetic
Corten steel, known for its rust-like appearance, was chosen for its resistance to atmospheric corrosion and its aesthetic resemblance to sunlight on pine trees. This material requires no surface treatment and stabilizes after initial rusting.

Catalog excerpts

Tall is a suitable name for Jan Forsmark’s new outdoor bollard light for ateljé Lyktan. In Swedish, ‘Tall’ is the name for the majestic Scots Pine tree. The name of the lamp alludes to the enchanted pine forests of northern Sweden, where it was first installed as part of the lighting for Treehotel. The name works equally well in English for this stately bollard light. Tall has a cruciform base, crowned by three LED light cells that are, in turn, deflected downwards by a cuboid top. One large LED cell is located under the top at the front of the lamp, while two smaller ones sit at the back. This...

The bollard light is made from Corten steel, whose earthy tones fit into most outdoor environments. Forsmark explains that his choice of this material was also inspired by the tonal range of the pine forest. ”It struck me that the colour of Corten steel looks exactly like sunlight on pine trees.” The design engineer Peter Hallengren comments further on the technical qualities of the material: ”Corten steel needs no surface treament. It rusts a little in the beginning, but then it stops after a layer of rust has formed. Normal steel will continue to rust.” The result is what Forsmark calls a ”stylised...
