Platek BALINA M LED glass and steel bollard light

BALINA bollard is an outdoor lamp with a strong poetic personality, designed to blend lightly and elegantly into green spaces.‎ BALINA is inspired by the simplicity of glass marbles, reinterpreted as a luminous element through a spherical body in transparent glass.‎ The stake version integrates perfectly into natural landscapes: it can be fixed on lawns, along pathways, or at the edges of hedges and shrubs, transforming the garden into a narrative and evocative space.‎ By day, it is a discreet and elegant object; by night, a soft and atmospheric light presence.‎ Ideal for residential settings, parks, hotels, or private gardens, BALINA stake combines formal elegance, high-quality materials, and compositional freedom, becoming a luminous sign in dialogue with nature.‎ Body, base, and ground mounting made of aluminum alloy; rod in AISI 304 stainless steel.‎ High-resistance hand-blown glass diffuser.‎ Equipped with a proprietary optical system.‎ Supplied with high-intensity LED with a color rendering index (CRI) above 90.‎ No visible screws.‎ Screws in A4 stainless steel.‎ The product undergoes a galvanic anodization treatment divided into distinct phases: mechanical satin-finishing, surface degreasing, anodic oxidation, and final sealing.‎ It is then painted using a double-coat in-line process (epoxy-based primer + polyester-based topcoat), which creates a single, high-thickness protective layer.‎ In combination with the prior anodization, this forms a barrier against atmospheric agents and UV rays, resulting in corrosion resistance in salt spray testing far exceeding market standards.‎ The bonding of glass components in Platek products is preceded by a surface pre-treatment using atmospheric pressure plasma.‎ This process activates surface energy exactly where needed, ensuring excellent wettability and removing any residue from release agents, thereby enhancing long-term adhesion.‎ The subsequent steps include the application of silicone and the assembly of the glass onto the luminaire body, carried out through an automated process that guarantees perfect sealing of the fixture.‎ IP65, IK05.‎ The first drops of fresh dew glisten in the greenery.‎ The perfection of the small spherical shapes never fails to fascinate, their glass surfaces casting delicate reflections.‎ Ethereal and discreet, BALINA captivates equally in daylight and dusk.‎ When illuminated, the glass beads speck the outdoors with their special light, engaging in dialogue with architecture and nature.‎ By day, the pistils rest within their casings, and transparent spheres blend seamlessly into the surroundings.‎ Light defines the lamp’s form and spatial perception, enhanced by its compact size.‎ Two diffuser finishes offer distinct lighting effects: transparent glass lets the light fully through, while opaline distributes it across the curved surfaces.‎ This versatile outdoor lamps series is both lighthearted and sophisticated.‎ It leverages the textured and emotional effects of glass for strong decorative impact.‎ Blurring aesthetic boundaries, BALINA harmonises effortlessly with modern, rustic, and antique architectural styles.‎ Further info from manufacturer on BALINA M Platek
