Sollos PBL-AB-16 27540 Bollard Path Light 16" Stem Antique Brass

Sollos PBL-AB-16 (27540) Bollard Path Light – 16" Stem, Antique Brass

The Sollos PBL-AB-16 (product number 27540) is a 12V AC low-voltage bollard-style landscape path light with a 16" vertical column, finished in Antique Brass. Unlike the Sollos path light families that use a G4 bi-pin socket, the Bollard fixture uses a GU5.3 MR16 bi-pin socket. It ships with a 36" 18-2 lead wire, two King® DryConn™ waterproof connectors, and an 8" ground stake. This is a fixture-only assembly; the lamp is ordered separately. Confirm socket type, finish, lamp inclusion, and transformer capacity before ordering.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Sollos PBL Bollard Path Light is a vertical-column landscape fixture: a 16" bollard body finished in Antique Brass that stands upright on an 8" ground stake, distributing light outward at a lower, more architectural height than a stake-mounted hat light. The form suits formal walkway delineation, entry features, and driveway edges where a column silhouette reads better than a mushroom-hat path light.

The bollard uses a GU5.3 MR16 bi-pin socket rather than the G4 bi-pin socket used in the Sollos PSH and P90° path light families – MR16 and G4/GY6.35 lamps are not interchangeable, and this is a common point of confusion when cross-shopping the Sollos path light lineup. The collar is stepped and threaded for tool-less relamping, and a clear threaded polycarbonate lens protects the lamp.

The fixture ships with a 36" 18-2 lead wire, two King DryConn waterproof connectors, and an 8" ground stake. It operates on a 12V AC landscape transformer, which is ordered separately along with an MR16 GU5.3 lamp.

Compatible Applications

• Formal walkway and driveway-edge delineation lighting
• Entry feature and courtyard column lighting
• Residential and commercial landscape lighting on a 12V AC circuit
• Garden borders and hardscape edges where a vertical column look is preferred over a hat-style path light
• Retrofit replacement for existing MR16 GU5.3 bollard fixtures

Before Ordering – Verify

• This is a 12V AC low-voltage fixture. It will be destroyed if connected to 120V line voltage. A 12V landscape transformer is required and is not included.
• Socket is GU5.3 MR16 bi-pin, not G4/GY6.35. The Sollos JC-series G4 lamps used in the PSH and P90° path light families will not fit this fixture.
• The lamp is not included. Order an MR16 GU5.3 lamp separately, 20W maximum – the Halco ProLED MR16BAB/827/LED (Halco product 81060) is the manufacturer-matched kit lamp for this fixture.
• Confirm finish: this item is Antique Brass. Also offered in PBL-TB-16, PBL-TZ-16.
• Antique Brass carries a lifetime warranty; Textured Black and Textured Bronze carry a 5-year warranty – confirm which finish before ordering if warranty terms matter to the buyer.
• Total the wattage of every fixture on the run and size the transformer accordingly, allowing headroom for future additions.
• MR16 lamps may not be compatible with every dimming system; test on the actual circuit before completing a full installation.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• De-energize the transformer before wiring, relamping, or servicing the fixture.
• Make all splices with the supplied King DryConn waterproof connectors and keep connections out of standing water.
• Bury or otherwise protect the low-voltage cable run to prevent damage from mowers, edgers, and digging.
• Do not exceed the 20W maximum lamp rating. Overlamping causes excess heat, socket damage, and lens degradation.
• Drive the ground stake into soil only; do not hammer on the bollard housing.
• Keep the lens clear of mulch, soil, and dense foliage so heat can dissipate.
• This fixture contains no mercury; the LED kit lamp is mercury-free.

Compliance

• ETL Listed to UL 1838 (Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Systems) and CSA C22.2 No. 250.7.
• Intended for use on Class 2 / low-voltage landscape lighting circuits supplied by a listed 12V landscape transformer.
• Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes; NEC Article 411 governs low-voltage lighting systems.
• The kit lamp is rated for use in sealed metal landscape fixtures when protected from the elements; no separate IP rating is published for the lamp or the fixture body.
• Mercury-free product. RoHS-compliant construction.
• All specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer; the current Sollos/Halco published specification governs.
