During pressure treatment , the entire timber is penetrated by the latest generation wood preservative . Tanalith E preservative treatment is used in accordance with BS8417 to meet Use Class 4 . Radiata pine
is well-known for its low splitting properties with no feathering . Sourced and CNC machined by a top FSC certified timber supplier , it is suitable for most climates , whether the environment is hot or wet .
LIGHTING
Solid brass landscape lights are incorporated into machined sleepers or posts to create robust , decorative path lights . Most designs are 240v mains-powered , although there are 12v options and all are LED compatible . Ideal for both domestic and commercial use , they ’ ve been supplied to high end developments nationwide , where durability and a rustic feel has been specified .
Expanding once again , in 2019 Lumena launched the UK ’ s largest range of professional solar bollards . Designed to work in UK weather , this innovative range uses highly efficient panels and lithium batteries to retain maximum charge . They also have a gradual dimming sequence throughout the night for 365-day illumination with a 5 year guarantee . The solar bollards are also robust aluminium , and have been supplied to housing developments , commercial walkways , glamping sites and notably , the Eden Project in Cornwall .
Boleda Conus 240v LED Bollard
Supplying the wooden and solar ranges , led naturally to where ‘ Timber meets Technology ’.
Solar lights can be installed anywhere , so it made sense to experiment with the versatility of a high-performance solar wall light to see if the solar and Radiata ranges could be combined in one design . The ‘ Secursol ’ remote control PIR light is impressively bright with substantial detection range , designed to mount onto a flat surface , it lasts for hours , has an integrated , adjustable panel and different modes including a lowlevel security downlight .
Eccentrica Solar Bollards
Thus the ‘ SecurBol ’ was created , by combining an existing solar PIR light with fully sanded radiata pine . The timber mounts 400mm into soft ground with no restrictions on positioning , perfect for long drives and paths where mains power is not feasible . The angle of the polycrystalline solar panel can adjust by up to 70˚ to catch a better angle of UV rays without altering the direction in which the solar path light shines .
