- Be sure you have properly turned off power before installation.
- All products should be installed by a licensed contractor or electrician.

- Specific installations are varied from brands and products, this instruction applies only to BL01 LED bollard light from AGC.
1. Grounding for BL01 LED bollard light
BL01 bollard light is designed for ground mounting. Appropriate grounding is critical for safe operation. First, confirm the position for placing the bollard light. Then, dig a hole that is deep enough to place the bollard light. (suggested concrete column size: 250mm * 250mm * 300mm) Run proper wiring to the hole to supply power for the light. Place a conduit in the hole for wiring. Next, fill the hole with concrete.
2. Install the anchor bolts onto screw fixing plate
AGC provides screw fixing plates for accurate anchor bolt positioning. Install the three anchor bolts to the screw fixing plate. And then set them into concrete. It is important that the screw fixing plate be level. Make sure the anchor bolts are allowed to secure. Furthermore, place the anchor bolts and screw fixing plate properly and allow the wires to pass through the center of the screw fixing plate.
3. Install the base plate template on screw fixing plate
After the concrete has cured, place base plate templates over anchor bolts. Then install the base plate templates on a screw fixing plate with nuts. Tighten all nuts until the base plate template is secure. Again, make sure the base plate template is level. The orientation of the bollard is vital. The direction of light should be on both sides of the notch in the base plate template.
4. Connect the supply lines from conduit to fixture wires properly
Install the bollard head to the body with screws. Tighten all screws until it is secure. Connect the supply lines from the conduit to the fixture wires properly. Do not wire the dim cord to the high voltage, or the dimming function will fail. Ensure the processes are accomplished by licensed electricians. For the detailed wiring diagram, please contact us.
5. Install the bollard onto the base plate templates
Attach the bollard to the base plate templates. Secure the bollard with screws and tighten the screws. Now, you have completed the installation of the BL01 bollard light. Be sure the orientation of your bollard is right. The 3 screw holes (one hole of bollard head and two holes of bollard body) and notch marks must be in one line. If not, you may have the wrong installation.
