From the very start of the project, Christian Flindt had a clear

vision of how the fixture should emit and distribute the light.

This explains why a great deal of work had to be done in the

model studio before the final version was decided upon.

The optimal light distribution was established through a series

of full-scale trials with the light slit, and the shared vision of

creating a bollard which partially illuminates itself while

simultaneously emitting glare-free, directional light was of

paramount importance to both Christian Flindt and Louis

Poulsen.

Optimisation of the light emission is thus linked to considera-

tions of both aesthetics and energy-efficiency.

Practice makes perfect

The project was launched in 2011 and has featured several pha-

ses. In connection with an exhibition at the Brænderigården cen-

tre in Viborg, Denmark, the idea arose of developing a bollard to

illuminate the park area. This was accomplished in dialogue with

the Municipality of Viborg, Viborg Energiforyning (Viborg Energy

Supply), Viborg Museum of Art, a team of landscape architects and

Louis Poulsen.

In 2012, the prototype bollard was used for the exhibition in Vi-

borg, and the feedback was so positive that Louis Poulsen decided

to take the next step and develop a standard product. The bollard

was further optimised with regard to material quality, light distri-

bution and efficiency, and the new product was presented at the

2014 light + building trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany.

Story behind

Asymmetric light distribution • 100% glare-free • Aesthe-

tic design • Ideal for port areas, parks, entrance and

pedestrian areas • Vandal-resistant design • Blends in

well with natural surroundings and surface materials

• Fine adjustment possible after installation • Ideal for

repetitive installations

Despite its simple, slim design, the Flindt

Bollard is no weakling. In fact, it has been

subjected to – and passed – the toughest

anti-vandal tests, winning the highest clas-

sification.

In choosing the design and materials, Louis

Poulsen focused on the ‘threats’ that street

and park illumination units typically face in

public spaces.

Simple and tough

12

‘Time is money’, as the saying goes, so in the design of the Flindt

Bollard, Louis Poulsen has focused in particular on making the instal-

lation logical and straightforward. Minimalistic in its exterior design,

the bollard features an interior that has also been pared down to the

absolute minimum, while still encompassing fine adjustment details

to facilitate both installation and subsequent ‘fine tuning’.

The light aperture in the Flindt Bollard can be

turned plus/minus 10° to allow optimisation of the

experience of both the design and the light distri-

bution. No matter whether you select single-side

or zig-zag installation, the bollard can be positioned

so as to optimise the regularity of the light.

Optimisation of the light experience

16

The Flindt Bollard is fitted with two LED light sources, emitting in total approx.

585 lumen from the fixture. The two LED light sources are positioned at the top

of the light slit so that they emit both horizontal and vertical light.

The use of two LED light sources optimises the light emission, and on account of

the design of the light slit, the illumination is directed out to the sides at an ang-

le of >180°. This results in the fixture playing an active role in the light experi-

ence as a whole because it illuminates itself. As such, it fulfils one of the key

criteria in Louis Poulsen’s lighting philosophy, which states that the design of

the fixture must also be recognisable when the light is switched on, and that it

should be possible to form an impression of the light distribution even when the

fixture is switched off.

The sun is the benchmark. It shows all the colours of nature and architecture in

the light every designer dreams of – namely, daylight. This unique light source

gives us the experiences.

The LED light sources bring these experiences to life when darkness falls, and

we see a realistic reproduction of the surroundings in the artificial light.

The Flindt Bollard is available in two standard colour temperatures – 3000K and

4000K.

The soft transitions in the LED spectrum curves assure high-quality colour re-

production, allowing the Flindt Bollard to make an additional contribution to

the perception of a safe, atmospheric light experience.

The Flindt Bollard, winner of the 2014 Elforsk Prisen

award.

“My goal was to develop a bollard which, in practice,

could show the decision-makers that LED is the correct

solution for outdoor lighting.”

Christian Flindt, Designer.

“The primary goal of any outdoor lighting solution is to

provide users with a good experience – both in darkness,

when the light is to create atmosphere and security, and

during the day, when the bollard itself is to make a posi-

tive contribution to the urban environment.”
