These bollards have in common that they are both
available with asymmetrical and flat beam light
distributions, and that they emit no light at all into
the night sky.
Luminaires with asymmetrical light distribution
emit their light into the space around them. It is
directed downward and shielded above the hori-
zontal. These luminaires feature a high degree of
illuminance in the near field and good spatial visual
comfort, e.g. for the illumination of wide footpaths
and open spaces.
With flat beam light distribution, the bollards tend
to emit their light mainly in a wide area. It is direct-
ed downward on one side and is shielded above
the horizontal. Bollards are therefore excellently
suited for the uniform, wide beam illumination of
open spaces and footpaths in the immediate vicin-
ity of the luminaire.
