Why don’t your garden lights ever shine very far? The answer lies in optics!
As standards for landscape lighting continue to rise, people are no longer satisfied with simply “being able to see”; instead, they seek lighting effects that are more uniform, comfortable, and rich in depth.
Among these, low-level lighting—an essential component of landscape lighting—is widely used in settings such as courtyards, park walkways, community landscapes, and commercial plazas.
What is low-level lighting?
Low-level lighting refers to lighting fixtures installed at a low height that, through precise optical control, effectively project light onto the ground or landscape areas to achieve guiding, decorative, and functional lighting effects.
Compared to high-mast lighting, low-level lighting is closer to the human line of sight, and therefore places higher demands on light uniformity, illumination distance, and glare control.
However, conventional garden lights currently available on the market generally have two major drawbacks when used for ground-level lighting:
-
The light beam is short and doesn’t reach far.
-
The area near the light fixture remains unlit, creating a noticeable “dark spot under the light.”
This not only affects the visual appearance but also reduces the luminaire's efficiency.
Why don't traditional garden lights shine very far?
Most traditional lenses use a symmetrical light distribution design.
When luminaires are installed at a low height, a large amount of light is concentrated around the perimeter of the luminaire, resulting in excessive brightness in the near field and a rapid decline in illuminance in the far field.
The result is that areas farther away appear dim, and the ground brightness is uneven.
To ensure adequate lighting, more luminaires must be installed.
This not only increases project costs but also makes future maintenance more difficult.
Bollard Series
In response to the practical needs of low-level lighting applications, Herculux has introduced the Bollard Series optical lenses, which, through professional optical design, comprehensively address the issues associated with traditional garden lights used for ground-washing illumination.
Wide-area floor cleaning—one light covers a larger area
The Bollard Series features an ultra-wide beam pattern of 112° × 62°.
Compared to the limited coverage of traditional lenses, it evenly distributes light over a larger ground area, providing extensive flood lighting.
For the same lighting requirements, it effectively reduces the number of fixtures needed, thereby lowering overall project costs.
Long-Range Lighting: Solving the Problem of “Limited Range”
By precisely optimizing the direction of light projection, more effective light energy is directed toward distant areas. Even at lower installation heights, excellent long-range illumination can still be achieved. A smooth transition from the near field to the far field creates a more complete and natural lighting effect across the entire illuminated area.
Highly Uniform Lighting
The Bollard Series is specifically optimized for near-field light distribution.
Through scientific light distribution control, it ensures that areas near the fixture receive sufficient illumination, effectively eliminating the “dark spot under the light” phenomenon commonly seen with traditional garden lights.
Excellent backlight control, improving light utilization
In addition to forward lighting performance, the Bollard Series has also been optimized for rearward illumination.
Effective low-level lighting must not only illuminate the ground but also address issues such as limited range, shadows directly beneath the lights, and low light utilization.
With its 112° × 62° ultra-wide beam pattern, highly uniform illumination, long-range lighting capability, and superior backlight control technology, the Hengkun Low-Profile Series lenses truly deliver:
Shines farther
Covers a wider area
Provides more uniform brightness
Ensuring that every beam of light lands precisely where it’s needed.
